Husband and wife, Marcus and Nora, are headed for the South Seas to the Cook Islands for a long overdue trip into paradise when tragedy strikes. As a result of an unexpected accident, Marcus starts an adventure of a lifetime. Not a young man, Marcus uses his instincts and knowledge gained through life experiences to navigate the many trials placed before him. Although at times he questions whether or not he has what it takes to survive, he realizes he must continue for love of life and his family. He is pushed further than any other time in his life, even more than when he served in the US Marine Corp. Through the course of his adventures he faces surviving the elements, violence, corruption, and international intrigue. Each in turn gives him the fight of his life.
The challenge facing the authors of texts that address the multiplicity and complexity of problems that may afflict families can be intimidating. Philip Barker has addressed this challenge head-on in each of the editions of this book. This task has been greatly facilitated by the contributions of the new co-author, Jeff Chang, and in this edition provides a clear, easily read and readily understandable introduction to family therapy. Much has happened in the field of family therapy since the fifth edition of Basic Family Therapy was published in 2007. New developments covered in this book include: Emotionally Focused Therapy The Gottman approach to couples therapy Mindfulness and psychotherapy The common factors approach to psychotherapy and to family therapy The increased emphasis on empirically supported treatments High-conflict post-divorce parenting Basic Family Therapy will be of value to readers new to family therapy and to those in the early stages of training.
