520    "Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT) is a strengths 
       based model for diagnosing and changing repetitive 
       patterns of behavior that cause friction in families. This
       clinical guide to BSFT shows how practitioners can 
       transform family interactions from conflictive to 
       collaborative, from habitual to proactive, so the love 
       trapped behind anger can flourish. When, for example, a 
       teen is acting out, using drugs, or not attending school, 
       the adults in the family need to assume leadership, and 
       all members of the family must adapt their patterns of 
       talking and behaving with one another for positive changes
       to take place. BSFT therapists aid in this process by 
       analyzing how the family operates as a whole and the role 
       that each member plays in the family organism. Readers of 
       this book will learn how to engage reluctant families or 
       family members, and structure 12 to 16 week cognitive and 
       affective interventions that will effect powerful behavior
       change. Detailed clinical examples show practitioners how 
       to navigate family complexities, and work through the 
       challenging decision points they present."--|cProvided by

520    "Brief Strategic Family Therapy® (BSFT®) is an evidence-
       based intervention that has been extensively evaluated for
       more than 45 years and is efficacious in the treatment of 
       children and adolescents with internalizing and 
       externalizing problems. It is a brief intervention that 
       can be implemented in approximately 12 to 16 sessions. 
       This book introduces therapists to concepts needed to 
       understand the family as an organism or system that may 
       show symptoms in one of its members. It describes 
       strategies for gaining entry into families, assessing and 
       diagnosing maladaptive patterns of family interactions, 
       and changing patterns of family interactions from 
       maladaptive into adaptive. The book also presents the 
       strategies for engaging families whose members are 
       reluctant to become involved in family therapy. Within the
       BSFT model, the authors provide clear descriptions of the 
       techniques of joining and engagement and the process of 
       overcoming the challenges of joining. The book discusses 
       the various settings in which BSFT can be used, including 
       health and mental health clinics, substance abuse 
       treatment programs for youth, social service agencies, 
       private practices, homes, schools, and churches. This book
       is written for clinicians who provide services to families
       of children between the ages of 6 and 18 who present with 
       behavioral or emotional problems. This includes family 
       therapists and their supervisors, those in private 
       practice and in community service agencies."--Preface.
