"Madsen's writing style is very conversational and engaging. His years of practice and supervisory experience are evident in his ability to make salient points regarding practice. The text is rich with diverse examples illustrating key concepts. Madsen clearly links his framework to the theory and models he is building upon. He maintains a strong connection among ideas, creating an intuitive flow from beginning to end. With this strong connection, each chapter could easily stand alone. Because the book emphasizes collaborative work, the client-centered outcomes in this text could be used in many fields where person-centered approaches are practiced. Beyond the arenas of counseling and family therapy, professionals in the fields of education, medicine, nursing, and even business could benefit from the ideas presented in this book."--Best Practices in Mental Health, "If you read this second edition, you are in serious danger of being inspired by Madsen's clear thinking and practical guidance for working with families that we professionals tend to label 'untreatable.' Madsen's conviction that it is possible to work constructively in 'impossible' situations--which is drawn from experience, and demonstrated in the many case studies--is energizing news. This is the best of books, shot through with compassion and grounded optimism."--Andrew Turnell, MA, author ofSigns of Safety "Highly readable and brimming with ideas, this book is an invaluable guide for contemporary clinicians working with multi-stressed families. Madsen provides a way of thinking about families that reflects narrative concepts and theories, coupled with practical steps and techniques designed to enhance and solidify therapeutic gains. Clinicians will welcome the many case examples as well as the specific, step-by-step guidance in such areas as therapeutic letter writing and report writing. Drawing on his extensive experience as a consultant to organizations, Madsen also includes an unusual chapter on how to address organizational issues and professional expectations in order to function effectively in partnership with families."--Rachel T. Hare-Mustin, PhD, coauthor ofMaking a Difference: Psychology and the Construction of Gender "This second edition of Collaborative Therapy with Multi-Stressed Families couldn't be more timely. Why? It goes to the heart of the most venerable tradition of social work concern--providing services and support to families in crisis, in the face of diminished resources and continually shifting mandates. Simultaneously, the book provides practice guidance based on approaches that deeply engage postmodern scholarship and its implicit politics. Recently, social work as a profession has become dispirited. This book breathes new life into its moral and political foundations."--David Epston, MA, Family Therapy Centre, Auckland, New Zealand "In this second edition of his groundbreaking book, Madsen captures the joys and heartaches of working with multi-stressed families living in frequent crisis. Although the book is filled with useful ideas and specific therapeutic practices, its primary gift is more fundamental and profound: Madsen offers a compassionate, attentive, slowed-down way of being in relation to families in urgent situations that embodies the deepest respect, care, appreciation, and enjoyment of them as full persons, rather than as narrowly described bearers of problems. This engaging book is essential reading for all mental health, social service, health, education, legal, and other professionals who work with families in distress. Like the previous edition, it will hold a central place in my doctoral-level course in family therapy."--Peter Fraenkel, PhD, Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology, City College of the City University of New York "This new edition is invaluable for all human service practitioners working with multi-stressed, under-resourced families. Too often therapy, like family life, can become problem-saturated, leaving clients and workers feeling overwhelmed and defeated. Madsen's strengths-oriented, collaborative approach addresses cultural and institutional constraints as it develops clients' potential to envision and realize more empowering life stories and possibilities. This book's clear, practical guidelines and case illustrations will be immediately useful for both beginning and seasoned therapists."--Froma Walsh, PhD, School of Social Service Administration, University of Chicago "In this era of manualized social work 'treatment,' it is both refreshing and essential to have a textbook that encourages progressive thinking.

Never losing sight of today's practice realities, this graceful, smart book enlightens and inspires." --Kathy Weingarten, Ph.D. Co-Founder and Faculty, The Program in Narrative Therapies, Family Institute of Cambridge, Assistant Clinical Professor, Harvard Medical School "This compelling book depicts the genuine complexities of families and their helpers on a canvas of deep compassion, connection, and hope. Bringing the experiences and the voices of multi-stressed families vibrantly to life, Madsen is helping to redefine the language of our field. His profound respect for families and mental health practitioners is beautifully paralleled in his relationship with his readers in this collaborative and wonderfully jargon-free volume. Beginning trainees will find both gentle guidance and clear direction (I anticipate the chapter on assessment will become a classic in family therapy training programs); experienced therapists will appreciate the author's fresh ideas and commitment to a multilayeredtherapy; administrators and policymakers will discover a progressive and resourceful approach to seemingly intractable problems." --Evan Imber-Black, PhD, Director, Center for Families and Health, Ackerman Institute for the Family; author of "The Secret Life of Families", "The most refreshing aspect of this book is that it pays more than lip-service to genuinely working 'with' families; it is also brimming with motivating clinical case material and is written in an easily readable style....[A] thread of connectedness to professionals' everyday experience runs throughout."--Journal of Family Therapy, ..."a profoundly inspiring, compassionate, and helpful book....Madsen offers us a socially conscious resource model of therapy that is fundamentally influenced by ideas from narrative therapy and that integrates concepts from other models. Most importantly, he includes the voices of the people who come for help and those of the front-line workers he has met in his years of consulting. The author's own voice of experience and creativity is woven throughout the book....As both a teacher and a therapist, I am grateful to Bill Madsen for this inclusive work that will empower both beginners and experienced clinicians of all theoretical backgrounds to engage respectfully with individuals and families, even while working in the midst of dehumanizing systems." --"AFTA Newsletter" "Offering concrete guidance for therapists facing challenging clinical situations, the book facilitates a strengths-based focus without romanticizing families or minimizing their difficulties." --"Adolescence" "Once in a long while is a book written with the power and potential to influence clinical practice in profound and positive ways...."Collaborative Therapy with Multi-Stressed Families" is such a contribution. Building on the growing postmodern tradition of collaborative and strength-based therapies, Madsen provides a well-conceptualized, clearly written text for clinicians at all levels of experience who work with families facing complex social problems....provides an outline for clinical assessment that is adaptable for use with community agencies....Madsen proposes a framework for assessment that meets the needs of managed care by being goal directed and outcome oriented while maintaining acollaborative and resource based stance. This book is rich in ideas for helping therapists shift perspectives away from traditional models of clinical assessment and intervention and into the realm of collaborative partnership....This book is highly recommended for family therapy courses as well as for therapists in community agencies." --"Journal of Systemic Therapies" "[Madsen creates] a process of therapy for stressed families that can be learned and put into practice by both new and seasoned therapists....[He] blends the goal-setting approach of solution-focused therapy with a pragmatic format that addresses both short- and long-term needs. The book is inundated with detailed case histories, and readers will quickly grasp the sensitivity, competence, and utility of both the writer and the collaborative model be presents." --"Readings"
