Therapists intuitively know that the families, partnerships, and individuals they treat have strengths, but may not know how to identify or utilize them. This edited collection aims to help therapists understand and apply concepts of systemic resilience in clinical practice, supporting them in conceptualizing cases, treatment planning, and developing supportive therapeutic relationships.

Christie Eppler, PhD, and Raquel Martin, PhD, bring together a collection of voices to provide comprehensive guidance on what systemic resilience is and how therapists can enhance the lives and relationships of their clients. Based on contemporary training standards, this text emphasizes practice-based applications and focuses on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Chapters address how to foster resilience in clinical treatment with individual and relational clients, supervisees, and in the therapist's own life. With case studies, clinical activities, interventions, and reflective questions throughout, this approachable text will help therapists empower their clients. This book demonstrates to practicing and established therapists how connections, community involvement, shared visions and a sense of purpose, and healthy relationships can promote growth, healing, and transformation.

This is essential reading for students and professionals in counseling, clinical social work, and marriage and family therapy.

Industry Reviews

"This valuable clinical guide expands our understanding and ways to cultivate resilience in therapy with clients who face injustice, hardship, and adversity. Chapters center marginalized peoples and their social context, sensitively attuned to their lived experience, beliefs, and aspirations. In our increasingly complex world, this systemic approach attends to the interconnection of individual, relational, family, community, cultural, and spiritual influences in overcoming adversity and flourishing in life. Highly recommended to inform and inspire both beginning and seasoned practitioners!"
