Re-Visioning Family Therapy

Re-Visioning Family Therapy: Addressing Diversity in Clinical Practice, 3rd Edition, by Monica McGoldrick and Kenneth V Hardy, is a clinical textbook that prepares practitioners for multicultural practice. The text addresses the need in systemic training to analyze how structural privilege and marginalization influence individual, couple, and family dynamics.

The narrative covers several core thematic arcs in clinical therapy. It examines how intersecting identities involving race, social class, gender, religion, and sexual orientation influence family life. Beyond identifying the psychosocial impact of oppression, the text highlights cultural resources for healing and emphasizes the therapist's own cultural and family legacies as part of the clinical process.

This third edition incorporates 65 percent new material, expanding its scope through 21 newly added chapters. Published by The Guilford Press, the volume offers structured guidance for students, practicing therapists, and clinical supervisors seeking to integrate diversity into clinical coursework and ongoing professional practice.
