What people are saying - Write a reviewUser Review - Flag as inappropriate I ran across this book as I was studying Jay Haley's writings related to Milton Erickson. This is a gem of a book for those interested in and / or practicing family therapy. The five interviews are with major contributors in the field of family therapy from the 50's, 60's and beyond. The format of using a verbatim transcribed family session with therapist and interviewer dialog about the session is great. The interviews included three giants who I knew: Virginia Satir, Don Jackson, and Carl Whitaker. Charles Fulweiler, and the team of Frank Pittman III, Kalman Flomenhaft, and Carol deYoung round out the interviews. Fulweiler's approach is quite interesting and makes a lot of sense in the context of family therapy this book provides. The final team interview stills awaits my attention, so I can only imagine it to be as useful and good reading as the others. Satir and Whitaker were for me the most interesting reading and educational for me. Whitaker, I knew to be a character, but, Wow, great stuff in there. Related books
