Rezensionen

"This book is balanced and captivating. It guides the reader through a clear, comprehensive, and grounded review of the knowledge and practices in the area of family systems. A great resource for family researchers, educators, and clinicians seeking to advance their work." - Sesen Negash, PhD, LMFT, associate professor and director, Marriage and Family Therapy Program, San Diego State University

"In The Science of Family Systems Theory, Dr. Priest provides a cohesive guide to understanding and applying general systems theory with increased clarity and purpose. From describing the minute details of cells and DNA within the body to explaining systemic oppression in broader sociocultural systems, the author provides the reader with an opportunity to see how comprehensive general systems theory can be in explaining so many processes in the universe. The book also provides examples of how to make clear connections between scientific observations and family systems theory." - Daniel Hubler, PhD, CFLE, associate professor, Child and Family Studies, Weber State University
