An indispensable clinical resource and text, this book offers therapists evidence-based strategies to support families through life''s inevitable transitions. Chapters explore typical life cycle stages--couple formation, parenthood, adolescence, young adulthood and midlife, and later life--and describe treatment principles for frequently encountered family challenges. The book normalizes developmental strains and underscores the significance of flexibility, adaptability, and resilience through adversity. Extensive case examples encompass a range of family forms, cultural and individual differences, and life cycle disruptions, including parental separation, illness, and loss.

Industry Reviews

"In this outstanding book, Edwards, Patterson, and Griffith bring their scholarship and clinical expertise to offer a current, novel perspective on the family life cycle, a foundational topic in family therapy. Questioning the formulaic notion that families experience developmental stages and transitions in predictable ways, every chapter offers a biopsychosocial and systemic approach that informs conceptually, presents evidence-based resources, and provides guidelines for clinical work. This book will become the 'go-to' text to teach master's- and doctoral-level students in family therapy, and will be useful for clinical supervisors. It covers both evolving universal issues and the specific intersectionalities of LGBTQ individuals, intercultural couples, and other diverse family forms today. Readers will be touched by and learn from the many moving stories of clients navigating the inevitable relational changes that accompany family development."--Celia J. Falicov, PhD, Department of Family Medicine, University of California, San Diego-
