In this text, Butler takes an in-depth look at the development of family systems theory and how the work of Bowen, Gelso, and Meissner has shaped family psychotherapy. Family systems theory considers the family as an emotional unit in the therapeutic process and examines the therapeutic relationship in terms of its three primary components: the alliance, transference/countertransference, and the real relationship-better known as the tripartite model. Butler explores how the aspects Bowen family systems theory can provide effective methods for counseling families, couples, and individuals.

Industry Reviews

By utilizing the technique of summative/evaluative reviews of seminal articles, the author covers a large amount of historical information in a short space.... [T]he book provides a good basic starting point for a more in-depth study of two very difficult fields of study. * PsycCRITIQUES *
"An important contribution to the literature on the therapeutic relationship and of value to all students of psychotherapy." -- Daniel V. Papero, PhD, the Bowen Center for the Study of the Family
