Media Reviews
'Easy to read and highly informative. I picked up from it lots of ideas which I am sure I will find useful in my work with families, and indeed I have already found some of them to be of value ... I recommend this as a valuable addition to the family therapy literature.' - The Canadian Child Psychiatry Review

'Throughout the book, Selekman's creativity and spontaneity shine through ... He offers clinicians a perspective of hope and optimism while drawing on the expertise and competencies of clients in meeting their goals. This book should be required reading for anyone doing clinical work with children and families.' - Journal of Systemic Therapies
