Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Family Therapy: An Introduction to Process, Practice and Theory is a primer for students, professionals, and trainees to understand how family therapists conceptualize the problems people bring to therapy, utilize basic therapeutic skills to engage clients in the therapeutic process, and navigate the predominant models of family therapy. This text walks readers through each of these main areas via a straightforward writing style where they are provided with exercises and questions to help them develop the basic concepts and tools of being a family therapist. Upon finishing this book, students will have the foundational skills and knowledge needed to work relationally and systemically with clients.
This text would be a welcome addition to introductory family therapy courses that focus on clinical skills. Often students take theory courses that introduce them to the models and use the classic family therapy models to illustrate how family therapy has been practiced. Then students use generic helping relationships skills texts for their initial practice training.
I see this text offering students and faculty a significant resource for two types of courses. First, the proposed text offers a practice oriented family therapy review, which would be useful introductory skill focused courses where the faculty want to focus on pragmatics yet retain a clear systemic focus. Second, the text could be useful to faculty in counseling programs that have an emphasis in family therapy and have limited space in the curriculum. This text offers an efficiency in combing theory and practice with teachable application. Jim Furrow, professor, Fuller Theological University
