Collaborative Therapy with Multi-Stressed Families, Second Edition de William C. Madsen

Collaborative Therapy with Multi-Stressed Families, Second Edition: The Guilford Family Therapy

Autor William C. Madsen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 mar 2007

În literatura academică dedicată asistenței sociale și psihologiei clinice, există adesea o lacună în ceea ce privește metodologiile aplicabile familiilor etichetate drept „dificile” sau „netratabile” în condiții de resurse limitate. Collaborative Therapy with Multi-Stressed Families, Second Edition vine să umple acest gol, oferind o alternativă la modelele tradiționale centrate pe patologie. Reținem că această a doua ediție nu este doar o actualizare teoretică, ci un ghid de supraviețuire profesională pentru cei care activează în sisteme publice sau agenții comunitare unde crizele sunt frecvente și timpul este o marfă rară.

Ne-a atras atenția modul în care William C. Madsen structurează progresia terapeutică. Volumul este organizat logic, debutând cu redefinirea poziției relaționale a terapeutului și continuând cu procesul de evaluare colaborativă. Capitolele centrale, precum cele dedicate „anchetei colaborative” cu abordare antropologică și dezvoltării comunităților de sprijin, subliniază importanța viziunii proactive în detrimentul simplei reacții la simptome. Merită menționat că autorul pune un accent deosebit pe „documentele terapeutice” ca instrumente de solidificare a schimbării, o tehnică derivată din terapia narativă.

Această lucrare reprezintă o alternativă viabilă la Collaborative Family Work de Chris Trotter pentru cursurile de psihologia familiei sau asistență socială, cu avantajul că William C. Madsen adresează specific dinamica familiilor multi-stresate din instituțiile de stat, oferind strategii pentru menținerea practicii colaborative în „lumea reală” a birocrației. Față de abordările mai generale, acest text se concentrează pe transformarea relației dintre client și problemă, facilitând dezvoltarea unor identități preferate în locul celor de „asistați”.

Recenzii

"If you read this second edition, you are in serious danger of being inspired by Madsen's clear thinking and practical guidance for working with families that we professionals tend to label 'untreatable.' Madsen's conviction that it is possible to work constructively in 'impossible' situations--which is drawn from experience, and demonstrated in the many case studies--is energizing news. This is the best of books, shot through with compassion and grounded optimism."--Andrew Turnell, MA, author of Signs of Safety
"Highly readable and brimming with ideas, this book is an invaluable guide for contemporary clinicians working with multi-stressed families. Madsen provides a way of thinking about families that reflects narrative concepts and theories, coupled with practical steps and techniques designed to enhance and solidify therapeutic gains. Clinicians will welcome the many case examples as well as the specific, step-by-step guidance in such areas as therapeutic letter writing and report writing. Drawing on his extensive experience as a consultant to organizations, Madsen also includes an unusual chapter on how to address organizational issues and professional expectations in order to function effectively in partnership with families."--Rachel T. Hare-Mustin, PhD, coauthor of Making a Difference: Psychology and the Construction of Gender
"This second edition of Collaborative Therapy with Multi-Stressed Families couldn't be more timely. Why? It goes to the heart of the most venerable tradition of social work concern--providing services and support to families in crisis, in the face of diminished resources and continually shifting mandates. Simultaneously, the book provides practice guidance based on approaches that deeply engage postmodern scholarship and its implicit politics. Recently, social work as a profession has become dispirited. This book breathes new life into its moral and political foundations."--David Epston, MA, Family Therapy Centre, Auckland, New Zealand
"In this second edition of his groundbreaking book, Madsen captures the joys and heartaches of working with multi-stressed families living in frequent crisis. Although the book is filled with useful ideas and specific therapeutic practices, its primary gift is more fundamental and profound: Madsen offers a compassionate, attentive, slowed-down way of being in relation to families in urgent situations that embodies the deepest respect, care, appreciation, and enjoyment of them as full persons, rather than as narrowly described bearers of problems. This engaging book is essential reading for all mental health, social service, health, education, legal, and other professionals who work with families in distress. Like the previous edition, it will hold a central place in my doctoral-level course in family therapy."--Peter Fraenkel, PhD, Department of Psychology, The City College of the City University of New York
"This new edition is invaluable for all human service practitioners working with multi-stressed, under-resourced families. Too often therapy, like family life, can become problem-saturated, leaving clients and workers feeling overwhelmed and defeated. Madsen's strengths-oriented, collaborative approach addresses cultural and institutional constraints as it develops clients' potential to envision and realize more empowering life stories and possibilities. This book's clear, practical guidelines and case illustrations will be immediately useful for both beginning and seasoned therapists."--Froma Walsh, MSW, PhD, Mose and Sylvia Firestone Professor Emerita, School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice and Department of Psychiatry, University of Chicago, and Co-Director, Chicago Center for Family Health
"In this era of manualized social work 'treatment,' it is both refreshing and essential to have a textbook that encourages progressive thinking. Madsen's approach integrates the dominant themes in social work education--such as best practices and an emphasis on assessing outcome--with progressive ideas adopted from narrative and solution-focused approaches. The result is a text that offers students an opportunity to think about process, relationship, and use of self, at the same time as it emphasizes contemporary priorities."--April Fletcher, MSW, Boston College Graduate School of Social Work
-
The most refreshing aspect of this book is that it pays more than lip-service to genuinely working 'with' families; it is also brimming with motivating clinical case material and is written in an easily readable style....[A] thread of connectedness to professionals' everyday experience runs throughout.
--Journal of Family Therapy, 2/8/2007ƒƒ
Madsen's writing style is very conversational and engaging. His years of practice and supervisory experience are evident in his ability to make salient points regarding practice. The text is rich with diverse examples illustrating key concepts. Madsen clearly links his framework to the theory and models he is building upon. He maintains a strong connection among ideas, creating an intuitive flow from beginning to end. With this strong connection, each chapter could easily stand alone. Because the book emphasizes collaborative work, the client-centered outcomes in this text could be used in many fields where person-centered approaches are practiced. Beyond the arenas of counseling and family therapy, professionals in the fields of education, medicine, nursing, and even business could benefit from the ideas presented in this book.
