The original Pathways to Change seemed very difficult to improve, but this new edition is indeed even better! Without losing sight of his brief family therapy roots, Matthew Selekman charts new territories by describing in detail how to use an amazing variety of therapeutic techniques in a truly integrative, context-sensitive, research-based practice. Psychotherapy students will be able to see how techniques and concepts of the major family therapy and psychotherapeutic approaches can be blended together in an elegant, effective, and creative way. Seasoned clinicians will find plenty of useful tools and inspiration to be creative and push their own limits in therapeutic work with adolescents and their families. - Mark Beyebach, Systemic Therapy Master's Program, Pontificia University of Salamanca, Spain
This second edition takes Selekman's integrative and strength-based therapy model for adolescents and their families to a new level. Offering numerous practical guidelines and clinical vignettes-and daring to be unconventional and sensible at the same time-Selekman invites readers to rethink the way they conceptualize adolescents and their problems, and provides new therapeutic tools for their repertoire... The richness of Pathways is immeasurable: you must read it for yourself! - Harlene Anderson, PhD, Houston Galveston Institute and Taos Institute, USA
It is quite apparent that Selekman wrote this new edition with today's troubled adolescents - and those of us attempting to work effectively with them - in mind... This edition is full of innovative, creative, and thoughtful strategies for effectively engaging and treating adolescents who are angry, aggressive, or disaffected. - Kenneth V. Hardy, Department of Marriage and Family Therapy, Syracuse University, and the Eikenberg Institute for Relationships, New York City, USA
