From the Back Cover:
A sure winner. This book is a hands-on, ready reference that gives family workers explicit instruction on how to successfully engage with parents and children in the home, school, and community. The authors explain how families, overwhelmed by poverty, racism, violence, or other stressors, may become alienated from needed support. Therapists learn to bond with these 'difficult' families and help them navigate the maze of complex systems in which they are embedded....This book will be invaluable in the education and training of family therapists and social workers (Elaine Pinderhughes, MSW, Professor Emeritus, Boston College Graduate School of Social Work).
