Family Therapy as an Alternative to Medication: An Appraisal of Pharmland Hardcover - 2003 - 1st Edition

by Phoebe S. Prosky (Editor); David V. Keith (Editor)


From the publisher

Family Therapy as an Alternative to Medication critically and passionately explores the concepts and practices that constitute the interface between family systems based psychotherapy and modern biological psychiatry. This diverse collection of essays, eight by psychiatrists, is neither for nor against medication, but takes a skeptical view of the unquestioned dominance that medication-based treatments have achieved among mental health practitioners. Its viewpoint is that therapeutic attention to context and relationships, regularly diminished when medications are prescribed, interferes with the development of psychiatric disorders, adds to maturity, and expands consciousness. Clinical examples, by both practitioners and patients, are used to define potential problems that arise from trying to combine a medical model with family systems work and also illustrate the decision-making processes and methods for applying family systems based therapies. This book will stimulate thoughtful conversation among students and practitioners of all mental health disciplines.

First line

The way we act, the way we balance the complexities of freedom and responsibility, these depend on what answer we give to an ancient riddle, 'What is man?'
