Summary: A look inside the family crucible.
Comment: The mental health field has a propensity to look for the root causes of psychopathology either within the person, i.e. intra-
psychic or neurobiological, or as a result of socialization. For some obscure reason, the family component is rarely considered. This book seeks to remedy this oversight.

Family Pathology takes a probing look at the relational roots of dysfunctional behavoir. Genetics, physiology, and society may play roles in the development of maladaptive behvior, but the individual is embedded in a family structure that mediates these influences for better of for worse.

This book also includes chapters on family therapy, preventive approaches, and parent training programs. To date, the psychopathology literature has not had such a thorough treatment of the family's role in dysfunctional behavior; this book changes that by offering an insightful look into the "nature-nurture" assumptions.

A must read for grad. students and practioners alike.
