Research Methods in Family Therapy
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Research Methods in Family Therapy is like a long-overdue summit meeting of ambassadors of all the conceptual powers in the field that will influence the directions family therapy research will go in the next couple of decades. While clearly focused on family therapy, almost all the material presented here is equally relevant to the understanding and application of investigative methods for individual therapy as well. This is a critical and technical tour de force for the field." --Alan S. Gurman, Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry, University of Wisconsin Medical School
"This wonderful volume is the most ambitious project to date focused on bringing the full range of qualitative and quantitative research methods relevant for family researchers under one 'roof.' The book is quite simply a tour de force, a tribute not only to how rich a field family therapy research has become, but also to the extraordinary skills of the editors. Sprenkle and Moon have brought together a group of committed and highly articulate researchers, and have provided them with the necessary structure to ensure that each and every author will teach as well as inform. In this way, family therapy research is truly brought alive and made fully accessible for both aspiring and experienced researchers." --Peter Steinglass, MD, Executive Director, Ackerman Institute for Family Therapy
"This is far more than a handbook that merely lists or describes family therapy research methods. The specific methods are skillfully placed in their conceptual and historical contexts. And the content is pitched at a level that will provide an invaluable overview for graduate students and at the same time covers a variety of topics in a manner that will be remarkably fresh and informative for the most experienced researcher. Qualitative, constructionist, and naturalistic approaches are included together with state-of-the-art discussions of hard-nosed empirical and statistical methodologies. This volume should be on the desk of every family therapist who wants to expand and document the scope of the family therapy field." --Lyman C. Wynne, MD, Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry
