Focusing on what we can learn from resilient individuals and well-functioning families, this book provides clinicians with a framework for preventive and interventive work with families that are distressed or at risk.

Readers learn strength- promoting, collaborative strategies for helping families deal with divorce, death, and other losses; multicrisis situations; and persistent challenges such as illness and poverty. This text will be of interest to professionals and students in the fields of family therapy, social work, counseling, and family psychology; other social service and health care professionals.'Drawing on her extensive experience as a family practitioner and researcher, in this volume Froma Walsh presents an approach to all kinds of families that recognizes and makes use of their resilience and often hidden resourcesBringing substance to the promise of a strengths perspective, this engaging, informative, and useful work is an invaluable resource for social work practitioners, educators, and students interested in families.' - Ann Hartman, DSW, Visiting Distinguished Professor, Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service, New York, Dean and Professor Emerita, Smith College School for Social Work, Northampton, Massachusetts
