Psychology & Psychiatry : Interpersonal Relations

The Black family entered therapy seeking answers to long-standing relationship problems. With their permission, the sessions were recorded and combined with the therapist’s commentary in the landmark book, A Family in Therapy. More than 20 years after these sessions, therapist Moshe Lang revisits his work with the Blacks, updating his original comments and re-appraising his techniques in light of developments in family therapy practice, expanding clinical research and hindsight. Unique and provocative, The Answer Within is both a touching account of one family’s attempt to heal and an invaluable discussion of the therapist’s role. It is a seminal resource for psychologists, therapists and students, as well as anyone looking for a better understanding of family therapy. more...
