Title and description from publisher metadata.

"In this training video, Kenneth V. Hardy demonstrates Integrative Family Therapy with a single African-American mother and her teenage daughter. Nineteen-year-old Erica was recently arrested and jailed for smashing her boyfriend's car window with a baseball bat, and her mother is understandably concerned. Hardy creates a nonjudgmental space for both mother and daughter to tell their stories, while acknowledging the complexity of the situation by bringing the broader social context into the therapy room. You will learn the key tenets of Integrative Family Therapy, including embracing a "both/and" philosophy, looking for the "pearls of functionality," and the significance of the broader social context; and gain insight into Kenneth Hardy's therapeutic style and how he brings together various theories of family therapy. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions."
