Psychotherapy Tales: The Making of a Family Therapist

Aldo Gurgone has been doing psychotherapy for over 45 years and this book is a pearl of wisdom and humanity in dealing with individuals’ dysfunctions, as well as family life diffi culties and confl icts. The issues presented are very challenging and varied: from long-term hospitalized psychotic adult patients, to bulimic or suicidal adolescents, to grief and loss in the family, as well as multicultural couple and family dilemmas.
