Family Solutions: Multiple Family Group Interventions with
At-Risk Youth (Hardcover)
by William H. Quinn
Reviews
William J. Doherty, Ph.D, is Professor of Family Social Science and Director
of the Marriage and Family Therapy Program at the University of Minnesota, and a
Past President of the National Council on Family Relations
A breakthrough on family and community treatment of youth at risk. I was
inspired from start to finish.
"In a time where evidence-based practice models are leading the way as the
treatments of choice for at-risk troubled youth, William H. Quinn offers us an
innovative and highly effective treatment approach for juvenile offenders and
other serious youth behavioral difficulties. What is most unique about Quinn's
Family Solutions Program is its multiple family group format, which he clearly
demonstrates through many case examples and solid research, provides families
with a strong sense of community, multiple strengths and resources to draw from
for support, and can produce rapid changes on individual, family system, and
larger systems levels. This book is a timely and valuable contribution to the
family therapy literature.."
�Matthew D. Selekman, MSW, Co-Director of Partners for Collaborative Solutions
"A breakthrough on family and community treatment of youth at risk. This book
takes the reader inside a model that is effective, collaborative, and respectful
of what families can offer one another in preventing more serious problems in
the future. I loved learning the nitty-gritties about how this model works in
the real world, including early mistakes and current challenges in using this
novel approach--a testament to Bill Quinn's honesty and transparency. I was
inspired from start to finish.."

Handbook of Family Development and Intervention (Hardcover)
by William C. Nichols (Editor), Mary Anne Pace-Nichols (Editor), Dorothy S.
Becvar (Editor), Augustus Y. Napier (Editor)
Review
"A well conceived and worthwhile resource for the family therapy
academic or practitioner." (The Family Journal, January 2002)
"The expertise made available by the authors is both broad and deep.
All hold clinical as well as scientific credentials. The editors'
broad network was an important resource in recruiting authors. Bill
Nichols and Mary Anne Pace-Nichols are long time authors,
academicians, and leaders in the fields of family studies and MFT.
Dorothy Becvar is a well-known leader and author. Gus Napier is near
legend among MFT's as a result of the "Family Crucible". This group
of Editors did an excellent job of organizing the authors' work into
a text that fills a large gap in the literature." (Journal of
Marriage and Family, Feb 02)
"In this magnificent volume, the editors make a
major contribution that integrates individual and family development
concepts and therapeutic applications by bringing together scholarly
yet fresh contributions. The inclusion of various family forms and
of families with special needs makes this volume especially relevant
to the treatment of contemporary families as we enter the new
millennium. This superb Handbook should be mandatory reading and an
excellent reference for teachers, researchers, and therapists at all
levels of development."�Celia J. Falicov, PhD President, 1999�2001

Book Description
Like all complex living systems, a family, during its life
course, proceeds through predictable stages of development. Yet
every family is different, its uniqueness defined and continually
redefined by an open-ended array of structural, biological, and
sociocultural variables. And, as with all living things, a familys
continued well-being depends upon its ability to adapt to changes
arising from both within the family system and without.
First postulated in the 1940s, these basic ideas constitute the
conceptual core of modern family development theory. From them has
blossomed an impressive body of knowledge about family health and
illness, without which much of the progress occurring in family
therapy over the past half-century would not have been possible.
This book does much to promote continued progress in the practical
application of family development theory by affording family
therapists an unparalleled opportunity to acquaint themselves with
the most important trends in family development theory to emerge
over the past decade.
In it you will find contributions from leading theorists,
researchers, and clinicians, arranged so as to provide a systematic
treatment of the latest thinking on family development seen from
both the systemic viewpoint and that of individual members of the
system.
Comprehensive in scope, this book explores the patterns, processes,
and dynamics inherent in "traditional" families, as well as in
important structural variants�such as single-parent and gay and
lesbian families�and families with special needs and problems,
including divorce, physical abuse, and disabilities.
Since progress in the social sciences is as much about formulating
viable new ways of seeing as it is about determining quantifiable
facts, the editors offer equal time to an array of influential and
sometimes radically conflicting schools of thought, including
sociobiology, social psychology, constructionism, multiculturalism,
postmodernism, and feminism. Mainstream family therapists will find
much in this handbook that they will consider controversial. In some
cases readers may even be outraged by the views expressed. Yet,
thanks to the high caliber of scholarship, intellect, and
professionalism evidenced throughout, none of the ideas advanced in
Handbook of Family Development and Intervention can be easily
dismissed, and all have something of value to offer the thoughtful,
dedicated family therapist.
Handbook of Family Development and Intervention is a valuable
professional resource for all couples and family therapists. It is
also must reading for graduate students in family psychology, family
therapy, social work, and counseling.
