Overview
- Editor David Ludwig's āIt's the Relationship, Stupid!ā gives specific case descriptions showing that, in most situations, the client is focusing on the wrong thing as the cause of his or her distress.
- Alex Opper's āWhat Do You Mean, 'It's the Relationship'? What's That Got to Do with Step-Parentingā points to the difficulty of, and suggests ways of, forming a good āweā from the āusā versus āthemā tensions often found in blended families.
- Walter Murphy's āGrowing up in a 'WeāFamilyā and William B. Knippa's āThe Family Unit: Place, Base, or Both?ā focus on the benefit to children of a united parental front that they cannot manipulate.
- Donald R. Bardill's āThe Relational Systems Model: Reality and Self-Differentiationā identifies the relationships that form the realities (self, other, context, and spiritual) of each person's life and shows how clients can be empowered to live in each of these four realities as self-differentiated persons.
- The final chapter, by Joanides, Joanning, and Keoughan, provides you with a systematic description of religious people's perceptions of religion and spirituality. It shows that important contextual information can be missed when therapists and researchers fail to address religion and spirituality from the perspectives of clients who are guided by faith. Implications for MFTs and MFT researchers are discussed in detail.The information you'll find in Social Work and the Family Unit will help you and your clients to understand what's really going on in their families and their lives.
