Summing Up: Highly recommended. Beginning students through researchers/faculty; practicing professionals., This four-volume set provides authoritative and comprehensive coverage of the history, theories, therapeutic approaches, clinical techniques, and important people in the field of marriage and family counseling...The articles are clear and concise and would be an excellent starting point for undergraduate research. This work would both update and complement the International Encyclopedia of Marriage and Family, especially by providing a focus on current clinical diagnoses and therapies in the field.-Theresa Muraski -- T.

Nero * CHOICE * "This set meets the goal set by Carlson and Dermer to "accurately tell the complete story of working with couples, family, and marriage therapy." However, most of the articles offer little more depth than a general social sciences encyclopedia. The liberal use of jargon and acronyms presume a counseling background in readers. Verdict Most beneficial as part of a professional collection for counselors, graduate counseling students, or advanced undergraduate students majoring in counseling." -Laurie Selwyn, formerly with Grayson Cty.

Gilson * Against The Grain * "This encyclopedia will be most useful in providing background information on marriage, family and couples counselling...Further readings, included for each entry, and the listings of relevant organizations and publications located in the Back Matter section are most helpful in providing additional resources on the topic that will lead to research-level content." -- Barbara J.
