Review: Worth the read - If you’re a student or someone interested in learning about family dynamics, I highly recommend! It provides amazing insight into family therapy!
Review: Validating and understanding - Thank you to Dr. Napier and Dr.Whitaker for giving us a realistic and authentic glimpse into the complexity of family dynamics. This book was recommended to me by a therapist and it has provided me with knowledge and realistic expectations. They provide readers with an opportunity to understand and see what the therapist is writing on their notes behind the scenes. We all have complex family dynamics and Dr. Napier and Dr. Whitaker allow us all the opportunity to sit and reflect on the roles we play In every aspect of our lives. One of the most important and rewarding books I have ever read. Thank you Dr. Napier & Dr. Whitaker. I am no longer a scape goat and will continue to be a cycle breaker for generations to come.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A *must-read* in the field of family therapy
*by D***C on December 30, 2016*

As a practicing Marriage and Family Therapist, I wholeheartedly recommend this book to my peers, and anyone interested in how family therapy works. Presented in the form of the narrated story of a family of five (accompanied by plenty of theory), this timeless volume provides a good high-level look at the family therapy techniques used by the likes of Napier and Whitaker. Interested in becoming a family therapist? Read it. Thinking about having your family attend therapy? Read it. Wondering about the benefits of family therapy over individual therapy? Read it. Are you part of a family? Read it. This is a seminal work, and should be required reading for all MFTs and anyone who treats families. It used to be, but has fallen out of fashion due to it's age. I don't care how old it is (and yes, it is a bit dated), the ideas presented are largely timeless. I just re-read it again this year (late 2016), and loved every page. 10/10. Seriously.
