The Practical Practice of Marriage and Family Therapy (Haworth Marriage and the Family,)

<p>It is a truism among therapists in most mental health disciplines that the most important aspects of clinical practice are learned only after one has left graduate school and entered “the real world.” While many of the basics could be covered in graduate school, supervisors of new therapists often feel that the fundamentals are only addressed in detail after a therapist has been employed. In response to this predicament, Odell and Campbell offer The Practical Practice of Marriage and Family Therapy: Things My Training Supervisor Never Told Me as a useful daily guide for graduate students and beginning marriage and family therapists that will ease the transition from learner to practicing professional in the clinical domain.Written in a refreshing and unpretentious style, much the way a caring seasoned professional would mentor a novice practitioner, The Practical Practice of Marriage and Family Therapy covers the major areas that typical graduate programs don’t have time to address, including how to: </p>
<ul>
<li>integrate theoretical training with pragmatic clinical practice to maximize therapeutic effectiveness </li>
<li>face the practical problems involving the financial elements of clinical work </li>
<li>become a thoroughly credentialed professional </li>
<li>develop an approach to becoming specialized </li>
<li>uncover the motivation for being a professional marriage and family therapist </li>
<li>increase one’s ability to maintain high-level practice over a lifetime of work by developing coping strategies and methods of safeguarding one’s own mental healthAddressing the unique approach of their book, Odell and Campbell explain, “Whereas most texts are handbooks on the actual theories and techniques used with couples and families, this book is designed to be a guide to the beginning professional as s/he leaves the graduate training environment and enters the mental health field as it exists in contemporary America. Our hope is that this book would be one of those chosen by the novice practicing professional if s/he could only take two or three with them into the field, as it contains material that is most useful for everyday work in clinical settings.”</li>

<p>Born in Atlanta, Georgia, on January 12, 1942 as the middle of three boys, Charles Campbell grew up on a small cattle farm outside Jackson, Georgia, where he attended the public schools. While a student at the University of Georgia in 1965, he accepted an offer to join the staff of Senator Richard B. Russell in Washington DC on one condition--that he be allowed to attend law school at night. It had been his dream since high school to be a trial lawyer. Campbell worked for Russell from January 1, 1966 until Russell's death on January 21, 1971. In 1968, Russell appointed Campbell then only twenty-six years of age as his top aide. Campbell learned life-transforming lessons from Russell about integrity, hard work, and responsibility. He traveled extensively with Russell, attended his family reunions, and was one of the few people in Russell's hospital room when he died. Campbell was involved in such events as the riots in Washington when Martin Luther King was murdered, the breach in the long-standing friendship of Russell with Lyndon Johnson and Russell s final act as a United States senator his proxy vote against senator Edward Kennedy that helped senator Robert Byrd defeat Kennedy for the position of assistant Democratic leader in the Senate. After Russell's death, and Campbell's receipt of his law degree, Campbell returned to Georgia and realized his boyhood dream of being a trial lawyer. He quickly realized, however, that the legal system was becoming infected with incivility, unethical and unprofessional behavior, and a mentality of winning at all costs just as he had observed in the political system in Washington. He started giving talks before bar groups on the importance of civility and professionalism. Campbell also elaborates about what we must do to repair our broken political and legal systems.</p>
