Title: Family-of-origin therapy and diversity
First published: 1997
Description: Family-of-origin therapy is a psychodynamically oriented intervention approach developed by Murray Bowen and James Framo. Assessment and therapy focus on the multigenerational family history as the basis for perceptions of current adult relationships.

This book describes family-of-origin therapy in an understandable manner that is easily applied to clinical practice. Concepts such as differentiation, triangulation, emotional reactivity, and object relations are discussed and illustrated with case examples. Research findings and assessment tools are described.
