Review

‘This book is a treasure! I welcome it, not least because Maurizio Andolfi has an international reputation as an experienced and inspirational trainer and practitioner, but also because he revisits and reclaims the origins of family therapy and systemic practice, in their conceptual roots in multi-generational family therapy. Whether the legacies of the past are realised in the present or echoes that haunt us, Andolfi reminds us that they are ever present in our therapeutic work with families, and through his many examples from practice, he shows us how to go on.’ – Arlene Vetere, PhD, Professor of family therapy and systemic practice.
