Systems theory provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex interactions and relationships within systems, which can be applied to various contexts, including family therapy. This book offers a concise yet thorough explanation of systems theory, using families and family therapy as examples and illustrations of its application in professional practice. Readers are encouraged to view themselves as part of the systems they are working with, consistent with a second-order cybernetics perspective. The book concludes with over one hundred examples of how the meta-perspective of systems theory can be used in work with families.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 431g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 240 x 158 x 17 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781538185667\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fourth Edition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raphael J.
