Most individuals intuitively "know" what it means to be a member of a family. After all, most of us were raised in one. But in each family there are dramatic differences. Each family creates its own culture within a culture. This intimate mini-society has its own unique rules and obligations -- dynamics and boundaries must shift and accomodate, stress levels and moods must be managed, and "the family," though full of diverse individuals of various ages, must somehow develop a shared sense of identity, and foster a nurturing emotional environment. Using a family systems and a multigenerational, developmental framework, this book highlights the challenges faced by contemporary societies as they move through time. This book offers a comprehensive overview of the major conceptual models that are used to understand the patterns and dynamics that operate in families.

Therapists can broaden their point of view and expand their options for treating individuals, couples, and families by understanding family myths. Here is a thorough and unique compilation of current studies on the development, evolution, and clinical implications of family myths. An outstanding group of international experts offers a variety of formulations regarding both personal and family myths in an attempt to bridge the chasms between individual, couple, and family systems dynamics. They focus on the conscious and unconscious elements of families’shared perceptual experiences and their relationship to behavioral, interactional patterns of individuals, couples, and family systems. The detailed descriptions of various clinical approaches to re-editing clients’personal, conjugal, and family myths will be enormously helpful to clinicians, theorists, trainers, and educators.
