“The editors of this volume have achieved admirably their purpose of providing foundational information for conducting family therapy in residential treatment settings. Practitioners and teachers of residential family therapy will welcome this book, and readers previously unfamiliar with this treatment modality will appreciate receiving a considerable amount of information about it.” (Irving B. Weiner, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (36), September, 2017)“Well written by experts in the field, this book takes a good look at the separation process regarding families and children in residential programs. It also explores how on-site therapy including parents, guardians, and siblings impacts the family dynamic. Researchers and clinicians will benefit from this book.” (Gary B. Kaniuk, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2017)
