Family Therapy: An Overview by Irene Goldenberg, in later editions associated with Herbert Goldenberg and Mark Stanton, is a comprehensive textbook on the theory, history, and practice of family therapy. Written for students and professionals in counseling, psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy, and related clinical fields, it explains how family therapists understand problems as patterns within relationships rather than as isolated individual symptoms. The book combines foundational concepts such as family systems theory and the family life cycle with chapters on major therapeutic schools, professional ethics, diversity, clinical research, and newer social construction approaches. Its purpose is not to promote a single model as definitive, but to give readers a structured map of the field and the reasoning behind different interventions. Case material, clinical examples, and practice-oriented features help connect abstract theory with therapeutic decision making, while the broad historical scope shows how family therapy developed into a pluralistic clinical discipline.
