Mark Rivett and Eddy Street draw on many years' experience in practice, teaching and research, present philosophical, sociological and empirical views of family therapy. Balancing the perceived benefits against the potential limitations, they pose questions, which challenge those within the profession to think hard about their role. - does family therapy work? - can those most in need really be helped? - is family therapy a means of social control? - who does professionalization help? Family Therapy in Question aims to stimulate debate among practitioners and to help trainees adopt a more reflective and critical attitude towards their own professional development and the development of their profession.
Eddy Street has a background in clinical and counselling psychology and his professional activity has principally been in child-focused services. He is employed as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in the NHS in the Cardiff area. His counselling and therapy practice involves working with individuals, couples, families and staff groups.
