Biography

Michael D. Reiter, Ph.D., LMFT, is an American Association for Marriage
and Family Therapy (AAMFT) Approved Supervisor, a therapist with over
30 years of experience, and a full-time faculty member for over 25 years. He
currently teaches and supervises at Capella University.

Training new generations of family therapists begins with understanding the milestones of family therapy, yet students often ask how theory translates into real clinical work. At a time when access to contemporary live demonstrations by pioneers of the field is rare, this book offers a unique opportunity to see therapy models in vivo. By bridging theory and practice, it supports students in moving from conceptual knowledge to clinical practice. An essential contribution to the training of thoughtful, reflective practitioners.

Luca Codecà, PhD, LMFT, Nova Southeastern University

 As practical as it is innovative, this book and its contributors bring family therapy sessions alive, one model at a time. Using transcripts to expand upon theoretical underpinnings across fifteen family systems approaches, the authors each use the same family scenario to demonstrate what therapy ‘looks like’ from each, bringing a vivid panache to case conceptualization from a systemic perspective and benefitting clinicians’ skills at organizing and transforming the complexity of family interactional process.
