Books by Salvador Minuchin

Presents case studies and applies the techniques of family therapy to the treatment of self-starvation, anorexia nervosa, as well as other psychosomatic diseases.

By means of a series of personal anecdotes, protocols, fables, and plays, the eminent family therapist probes and assesses the role of the individual within the family and the social, political, and legal contexts of the family.

Transcripts of six group sessions illuminate the tactics of therapists, methods of mapping and restructuring human relationships, and the nature of family problems.
