The volume illustrates Andersen's passion for inspiring and supporting local efforts to transform mental health services throughout the world. Some chapters describe projects in their local communities, in places as diverse as Africa, South America, and Central Europe, in which they have creatively applied some of Andersen's ideas to change the way services are delivered and the way patients are understood and addressed. Others show how Anderson's ideas can act as a springboard for other major contributors to the family therapy field to develop and refine their own theoretical positions. The book is well framed by the two editors, who have known and worked with Andersen for many years, yet they have avoided any urge to deify him. Instead they give a clear-eyed description of his place in the field and the relevance of his ideas for systemic therapists and consultants. Central to this volume are Andersen's notion of respect, resourcefulness of clients, collaborative relationships, dialogue, and, of course, the well-known reflecting process - notions arising from Andersen's work and evolution as a therapist, but also shown in the context of actual practice so they can bring fresh ideas for contemporary therapists UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=367031 ER -
