Lehrbuch der systemischen Therapie und Beratung II

Ten years after the publication of the first volume of the "Textbook of Systemic Therapy and Counseling," Jochen Schweitzer and Arist von Schlippe turn their attention to the disorder-specific knowledge we have today of systemic therapy. From schizophrenic psychoses to eating disorders and addictions to suicidal endangerment; from cry-babies to learning disorders to hyperactivity; from adolescent headache to breast cancer to diabetes – the authors discuss the most important disorders occurring in adult psychotherapy, in child and adolescent therapy, and in family medicine. For each disorder they portray the most characteristic patterns and established treatments, employing numerous case studies to illuminate the system-therapeutic methods.This textbook demonstrates that it is indeed possible to bridge the gap between context- and solution-based theories of systemic therapy and the disorder-oriented approach from evidence-based medicine and psychotherapy.
