Linking research with clinical practice, this text shows therapists how to do evidence-based practice when treating contemporary families.

Today’s families are diverse and complex, and their problems do not always improve when treatment focuses on addressing a diagnosis. To achieve successful, lasting change, therapists must help families change their patterns of interaction.

This book examines several common interactional challenges that contemporary families face, such as co-parenting, divorce, intimate partner violence, blending families, and loss and bereavement. Contributors examine research on each challenge alongside research on various diverse family types and offer targeted interventions for each family type.

With its strong emphasis on inclusion, social justice, and evidence-based practice, this book will help clinicians work with today’s diverse families in effective, empathic, and culturally responsive ways.
