Description
Familes that return for therapy many times have problems that seem unrelated--such as compulsive, addictive or abusive behaviors--but are linked by an underlying process of shame. Comparing the shame-bound family system with the respectful family system, Fossum and Mason outline the assumptions underlying their deft approach to family therapy and take the reader step-by-step through the stages of therapy.
