Review
"Yarhouse and Sells have created a masterpiece work analyzing approaches to family therapies. This is going to be a new classic, matching the accomplishment of Jones and Butman's analysis of psychotherapies in their book, Modern Psychotherapies." (Everett L. Worthington Jr., professor of psychology, Virginia Commonwealth University)
"Mark Yarhouse and James Sells have written a very helpful book that is comprehensive, biblically based and well-written. I highly recommend it as an excellent text for those interested in a Christian approach to family therapy." (Siang-Yang Tan, Ph.D., professor of psychology, Fuller Theological Seminary, and senior pastor, First Evangelical Church of Glendale, California)
"In Family Therapies, Yarhouse and Sells provide an important resource for Christian scholars and therapists. The first two sections provide a thoughtful foundation and Christian critique of existing therapy models, reminiscent of what Stanton L. Jones and Richard E. Butman accomplished in their classic book, Modern Psychotherapies, but with a focus on models of family therapy. The third section, which could have been a book on its own, looks at contemporary issues in relation to a Christian perspective on family therapy. The final section casts a vision for an integrative model of family therapy. This is a significant book that will help shape the training and practice of Christian therapists." (Mark R. McMinn, Ph.D., ABPP, professor of psychology, George Fox University, an`d coauthor of Integrative Psychotherapy)
"Yarhouse and Sells have written a practical, concise, invaluable, one- of-a-kind resource that integrates biblical, theological, psychological, theoretical, clinical and practical resources in ways that help the reader look at the family and family therapy through different lenses and better understand the individual in the context of their broader family system. This book will be read and reread by a broad audience." (Gary J. Oliver, Th.M., Ph.D., professor of psychology and practical theology, John Brown University)

A Textbook You Can Read Cover to Cover
By Anthony Centore Ph.D.
Written for students, therapists, and pastors, the textbook Family Therapies is designed to provide intelligent content about psychotherapy topics, while not losing readers with less clinical inclinations. The book accomplishes this goal.
Students reading the textbook will receive an ample review of major family therapy models, while counselors will benefit from the more nuanced clinical insights of the authors, such as the "respect commitment," a concept that can be implemented during times of family stress or crisis. According to the authors:
The respect commitment is a pledge to not provoke secondary crisis through acts or attitudes that are known to cause additional pain for other family members. For example, a family member might sooth their pain by stopping at a sports bar after work and watching a NASCAR race and drinking a beer, or walking alone in the woods [for two hours] before coming home...Or an adolescent might choose to spend $400 of his or her money saved for college on clothes or stereo equipment--impulsively, without consultation with a parent. The respect commitment says that for the time being each member will respect others by not engaging in behaviors that are within your "individual right" but are also known to be potentially incendiary (p. 320).
Ideas like this one are scattered throughout the text like so many chocolate espresso beans in my trail mix. And like those beans, they have helped me to think sharply about new techniques that could work with current clients, and brainstorm new ways of approaching therapy with future ones.
While a textbook by definition, it is conversational enough to read straight through. Granted, 500 pages will take you a while, so you may want to start with the family therapy models in which you have interest. The text surveys major family therapy models including:
� Bowenian Family Therapy
� Strategic Family Therapy
� Structural Family Therapy
� Psychodynamic Family Therapy
� Contextual Family Therapy
� Experiential Family Therapy
� Solution-Focused Family Therapy
� Cognitive-Behavioral Family Therapy
� Narrative Family Therapy
In the second half of the book, Yarhouse and Sells take a topic-based approach and address a selection of family therapy issues including crisis and trauma, marital conflict, and substance abuse.
Bottom Line
This is not a ground breaking study, a Yalom page-turner, or a self-improvement must-read. But it is an unusually well written textbook. It's a good choice if you're a therapist or counseling pastor looking for a serious guide to Christian family therapy.
Final Note: If you're looking for an Online Counseling Textbook, this is the best online therapy / telephone therapy text on the market:
The Therapist's Clinical Guide to Online Counseling and Telephone Counseling: The Definitive Training Guide for Clinical Practice

A helpful and thorough book
By K. Knapp
This textbook covers all the major Family Therapy theories, but adds a Christian worldview analysis (of the given theory) at the end of each chapter. This addition stimulates good critical thinking skills in students and helps them understand the underpinnings of a theory philosophically, unlike many texts which just lists the theories. The text also includes a number of helpful topics such as crisis and trauma, substance abuse, etc. which affect families. The book is very well-written, and handles delicate family issues in a gracious and sensitive manner.
