Description
Mastering Competencies in Family Therapy: A Practical Approach to Theories and Clinical Case Documentation
Mastering Competencies in Family Therapy is Diane Gehart’s textbook on turning family therapy theory into competent, well documented clinical work. Cengage Learning publishes this revised edition as a trade paperback.
The book has two jobs. It explains the theories that family therapists work from, and it shows how to record clinical cases in a practical, usable way. Across 672 pages it is aimed at students and professionals in family therapy.
Theory with a practical bent
Gehart presents family therapy theories with an eye on what a therapist does with them in session. The goal named in the title is competence: being able to apply a theory rather than just describe it. Students preparing for practicum tend to get the most from it.
Clinical case documentation
The second half of the subtitle matters to anyone heading into practicum. Writing up a case clearly is part of everyday clinical work, and the book treats documentation as a skill to learn alongside theory, not an afterthought.
Subject coverage
The book is grouped under several subject areas, including counseling, teaching methods, nursing and internal medicine. Its center, though, is family therapy theory and case documentation. It is a long book at 672 pages, written in English. Readers who want both halves in one volume, theory and paperwork, get them here.
