I just received this text on Tuesday. Prior to this text--I was struggling with reading the cold, dense, lifeless texts of a test prep company.
What a breath of relief, when I opened Diane Gehart's Mastering Competencies in Family Therapy. I had previewed it on Amazon's "Look Inside" link, and was drawn to its layout and catchy headings. Also I heavily used her co-authored, easy to assimilate Theory-Based Treatment Planning For Marriage and Family Therapists to study for my master's program comprehensive exam so I expected her solo written book to be just as easy to navigate. (Actually it appears she had some help from content experts--like the section on ethics written by a lawyer).
I just completed chapters one to three--so I'll give you my review up to this point. Reading this book is like seeing the model of our beliefs as system/relationally thinking therapists applied in written form. It feels as if the text, the author is relating to me--I feel like I'm in a relationship with the author, and she really cares that I get this material. Her definition on negative vs. positive feedback pp. 39-40 is the most user friendly framing of the concept that I've seen and I like that she gives me a heads up--that those concepts can be tricky. She also makes these little comments in parenthesis for example on p. 12 in commenting about libraries she says, "Oh I forgot, no one steps foot in these places anymore; I meant 'surf' the library's web page while still in your bunny slippers." See--Gehart is talking to the reader and building rapport from a book--so cool!
Gehart's headings for each model are framed in a down-to-earth, conversational manner.
