Re-Visioning Family Therapy: Addressing Diversity in Clinical Practice

I was very impressed with the quality it almost looks new! Excited to read for class!

Authors talk too much about themselves, while scientific info is very scarce. If you want to explore issues deeper, you need to go & read academic articles by yourself.

Excellent Resource—This book was assigned in grad school and I throughly enjoyed reading it.

Arrived on time! Had quite a large gash on the front, but as it was labelled as ‘lightly used/worn’ I figured it’s just as well as I’m only really using it for school.

I have been forced to read Monica McGoldrick's many books for my graduate program and have found that she almost always steers away from any level of agency or responsibility for one's issues (if they pertain to any member of the non-dominant culture). Her perspectives in all of her material are that cultural issues are solely rooted in the oppression one experiences from a member of dominant culture. One example would be that alcoholism among Mexicans is the result of oppression by dominant White culture. It's a very narrow viewpoint and people studying at a graduate level deserve better. Another rather odd viewpoint she expresses in one of her books is that words that are used to describe female beauty are "violent." Words like "bombshell" and "knockout." It's a very very different and non-academic approach to studying patterns of resilience and dysfunction of all members of society. Let's find some books where there is a level of self agency and not all issues are rooted in blaming "colonizers."
