AFTA SPRINGERBRIEFS IN FAMILY THERAPY APPLYIN...

This volume applies critical social theories to family therapy practice  using sociopolitical
context for a clearer focus on the power dynamics of couple and family relationships. Its
decolonizing approach to therapy is shown countering the pervasive cultural themes that grant
privilege to specific groups over others  feeding unequal and oppressive relationships that
bring families and couples to treatment. Therapy is shown here as a layered and nuanced process
with practitioners developing an ethical human rights perspective toward their work as they aid
clients in negotiating for greater justice and equity in their relationships. The book bridges
theory and practice by giving readers these essential tools: Strategies for asking clients
about social class. A framework for understanding gender issues within the larger patriarchy.
Guidelines for relating concepts of race and class in therapy. Structure for creating the
family cartography. Ways to utilize a queer perspective in therapy. Illustrative case examples
throughout. Breaking new ground in family therapy  Applying Critical Social Theories to Family
Therapy Practice challenges social workers  social work researchers  therapists  and
psychologists to push beyond current ideas of social awareness and cultural competence toward
truly liberatory client-centered practice. .
