It's Okay for a Text book - The cover is pretty. The book is theory based and pretty clear cut. No surprises, just the basics.

Excellent textbook for advanced psychology students - I needed to purchase this book as a textbook for a master's level psychology course. The book is well written, informative and covers many different types of family systems therapies. I intend to keep this on my professional bookshelf for future use.

Family Therapy - Good overview of theories, not very in depth though....great overall. I enjoyed it as an introductory book.

Basic Counseling Textbook - This is a textbook for a graduate class in psychology. If you need to buy it as a textbook, then of course, you must buy it. The chapters are arranged in an order that explains the history of family therapy and the basics. It is a general textbook. You will need other books to get into psychotherapy in a deeper way. However, as an introductory text, this is easy reading. It is called an "overview" because that is exactly what it is.
My greatest advice for you is to not forget to use the website as a help to the book. The website backup materials will guarantee you to have a great grade in the course.
