The original edition of "Using Family Therapy" (published in 1984) showed how the techniques of family therapy could be used in a variety of agency settings, providing that the important organizational, practical and conceptual problems could be solved. This completely revised edition takes into account significant changes in government policy and legislation, including the Children Act and the Community Care Act, as well as developments in family therapy theory. New chapters cover family therapy in mediation, learning disability, child abuse, mental health rehabilitation and consulting to organizations. It should prove to be a useful guide to practitioners in the 1990s.
