Systemic Perspectives in Mental Health, Social Work and Youth Care describes the theoretical foundations of a systemic framework, or 'systemic lens', and how the counsellor, therapist, social worker or other health professional can apply these ground principles in therapeutic meetings with clients.

The book presents a wide variety of perspectives and interventions, multiple examples, and practical methods, applicable to professionals with a range of experience. A case study covering a diverse family of three generations is presented throughout the book to clearly illustrate systemic perspectives, concepts, and practices. This accessible book will inform and enhance the therapist's practice and conversations with individuals, couples, parents, groups or networks, even in the presence of psychopathology, multi-stressors or complex networks.

This highly readable guide will be essential reading for systemic practitioners of all backgrounds, as well as professionals looking to understand systemic approaches, and for those working in social work, youth care or mental health who want to enhance their current practice.
