- Byng-Hall, John & Pittman, Frank S. Rewriting Family
Scripts - Improvisation and Systems Change (The Guilford Family Therapy Series)
Paperback 1998 "Families can develop self-destructive routines so
predictable that members seem to be following a script--each coming in on cue as the plot
unfolds. Such scripts can be altered, however, when families in therapy learn how to
improvise new patterns of relating. Rewriting Family Scripts presents an innovative
approach to doing just that--incorporating into family therapy elements of script theory
and recent findings in attachment research, including those related to narrative.
Developing a new systemic attachment concept, "the secure family base," from
which individual members can feel safe enough to explore and improvise new scripts, author
John Byng-Hall shows how families can change insecure relationship patterns both during
and after therapy. Clearly written, jargon-free, and illustrated with detailed clinical
case material, this book presents a comprehensive conceptual framework that illuminates
the central issues of family therapy practice."
- Dattilio, Frank M. (Editor), Goldfried, Marvin R. (Introduction) Case Studies in
Couple and Family Therapy - Systemic and Cognitive Perspectives (Guilford Family Therapy
Series) Hardcover 1998 "This volume features case presentations by many of
the most distinguished practitioners of couple and family therapy, bringing to life the
full spectrum of contemporary approaches in the field. Selected to illuminate the process
and goals of each approach and to allow readers to listen in on highly skilled therapists
at work, these exemplary cases serve together as a uniquely practical clinical resource
for therapists and students. Exploring the role that cognitive-behavioral
strategies may play within contemporary systems approaches, editor Frank M. Dattilio
annotates the cases throughout with concise recommendations on how cognitive principles
might usefully be called upon at specific points. Candid responses from contributors
consider the benefits of Dattilio's suggestions and further elucidate each practitioner's
own decision-making process.

et al Working
With Relationship Triangles - The One-Two-Three of Psychotherapy (Guilford Family Therapy
Series) Hardcover 1996 "Virtually all significant relationships are shadowed
by a third party, another person, a competing distraction, or even a memory. This book
provides clinicians with a hands-on guide to working with many different kinds of
relationship triangles in therapy with families, couples, and individuals. The authors
show why triangles come into being, how to predict their evolving nature, and how they can
be dealt with and resolved in treatment. A wealth of clinical case material and treatment
suggestions illustrates how thinking in terms of threes, as well as individuals and dyads,
can greatly increase therapeutic flexibility and effectiveness."

Medicine (Guilford Family Therapy Series) Hardcover 1989 "While other texts
have represented family practice as deriving its clinical knowledge from existing medical
fields, Family Systems in Medicine considers it a unique field and provides a framework
for codifying, organizing, and integrating the vast amount of information on the
interactions among family processes and biological systems in health and illness.
Contributors to the book, who are senior investigators from biology, medicine, family
theory, and anthropology, summarize key concepts, describe and evaluate the most important
investigations, and integrate these studies into a single, comprehensive treatise that
authoritatively covers the current state of knowledge in this fascinating field."

1995 | Paperback
1997 "Richard C. Schwartz applies systems concepts of family therapy to the
intrapsychic realm. The result is a new understanding of the nature of people's
subpersonalities and how they operate as an inner ecology, as well as a new method for
helping people change their inner worlds. Called the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model,
this approach is based on the premise that people's subpersonalities interact and change
in many of the same ways that families or other human groups do. The model provides a
usable map of this intrapsychic territory and explicates its parallels with family
interactions."

Paradox - Personal Authority in the Family System (The Guilford Family Therapy Series)
Hardcover 1991 "Although most people physically leave home by their early 20s,
emotional separation from one's family is a more difficult process that can continue for a
lifetime. The Intimacy Paradox addresses the struggle of adults to establish individual
autonomy without sacrificing family connections, and offers a psychotherapeutic approach
designed to simultaneously foster both personal development and family of origin
intimacy."
