    First published in 1986. Motivation is different for different cultures, apparent even in the recent contrast between our experience of the relatively stable residential neighborhood and the shifting sands of the beach community. The bait is different for each different fisher. Each group has a goal determined by collective needs. The needs of individual members of each group are defined by an interplay of biology, personal history, culture, family, values, peers, expected sanctions, chronological age, psychological age, and environmental circumstances. This book is a composite assemblage of teachings from five different workshops in the U.S. Primarily, it has been created from what the author’s feel are the most representative of several family therapy workshops they have conducted, some individually and some together. These took place in Boston, Massachusetts; Austin, Texas; Newport, Rhode Island; Phoenix, Arizona; and Pensacola Beach, Florida.
