Family therapy: exploring the field's past, present and possible futures  edited by David Denborough   In these personal and thoughtful interviews, influential family therapists from different parts of the world invite the reader into their worldview and the history that has shaped it. In some circumstances they also offer reflections and regrets about aspects of past practices, and they speak of what continues to inspire them. This is a friendly and personal book which enables readers to engage with the history and diversity of ideas of the field of family therapy and also to get to know, in some small way, those whose stories are contained in these pages.

 
The conversations recorded here have taken place in people’s homes, in rooms of conference venues, in the foyers of hotels, and in various cafes in Australia, New Zealand, Norway, the USA and the UK. They document the diverse territories of the field of family therapy in engaging and often powerfully moving ways.

Please note that a number of these interviews were previously published by Dulwich Centre Publications in a journal format.
