Description
Utilizing a family-systems perspective and emphasizing the growing body of families that fall outside of traditional notions of the nuclear family, the authors discuss the practice of counselling for students. Covering issues related to single-parent-led families, blended families, cohabitating heterosexual couples, gay and lesbian couples, dual career families, and ethnically diverse minority families, they use over 30 case studies to demonstrate a range of counselling models.
