Dictionary of Family Therapy by Jacques Miermont

This new English translation has been expanded, updated and revised by a team of international scholars under the direction of Hugh Jenkins. The core of the work is concerned with defining the field of family therapy and related therapies in a set of articles which are supplemented by full bibliographies. These are fully international, and include a thorough survey of English-language sources. The book is fully cross-referenced and indexed.
