Publisher Synopsis
"This book is a milestone in the development of FFT that summarizes the scientific evidence for the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of FFT; provides detailed clinical guidance on how to work with families using this model of practice; and shows how to set up and evaluate an FFT service in a community setting. It should be read by all professionals who work with the families of troubled adolescents. It is a masterpiece." - Alan Carr, PhD, Professor, Clinical Psychology, University College Dublin, Ireland; Associate Editor, Journal of Family Therapy "This superb guide to Functional Family Therapy is filled with insights and useful techniques.
