Bitter starts by giving a brief introduction to the work of Family Counseling and then transitions right into why he decided to go into this field. While he did talk about the significant motivating factors, he did not spend too much time on any one part, and that is something that I like. Far too many writers dwell on their past, and it gives me the impression that the book is all about them and not the subject matter listed.
Bitter then briefly illustrates the 12 family therapy methods that he is going to talk about throughout this book. Of the ones listed, the two that seem to resonate with me the most are Strategic Family Therapy and Cognitive-Behavioral Family Therapy. The former interests me because I like the idea of looking at the components of a family dynamic and trying to use that to get the family unit to figure out a way to solve the problem themselves. Since I have a background in cognitive neuroscience, the Cognitive-Behavioral school also appeals to me.
