Mastering competencies in family therapy: a practical approach to theories and clinical case documentation, 3rd Edition enables faculty to easily measure clinical competencies as required by accrediting bodies for counseling, family therapy, psychology, and social work. Using an inviting and engaging tone, Diane R. Gehart introduces students to family therapy theories using real-world clinical forms, which are incorporated into the text. Diversity and research considerations are integrated into theoretical discussions and practical applications to facilitate a more holistic understanding of couple and family therapy. To enhance student understanding, a new cross-theoretical comparison model has been added based on the work of Karl Tomm.
