Description

Systemic Treatment of Families Who Abuse is an invaluable guide for professionals working with families in which child abuse has occurred.

“Replete with case examples, Eliana Gil’s straightforward, no nonsense guide to treating some of society’s most dangerous family interactions is a valuable resource to all clinicians who work with child abuse.”
—MARCIA SHEINBERG, director of training, Ackerman Institute for Family Therapy, and director, Ackerman Incest Project

“The use of clinical material, especially dialogue from therapy sessions, sets a new standard. Clinicians new to the field and those who have been around for a while will both find new ideas and inspiration in this work.”
—JON R. CONTE, University of Washington
