Cultivating Systemic Resilience in Therapy

"This valuable clinical guide expands our understanding and ways to cultivate resilience in therapy with clients who face injustice, hardship, and adversity. Chapters center marginalized peoples and their social context, sensitively attuned to their lived experience, beliefs, and aspirations. In our increasingly complex world, this systemic approach attends to the interconnection of individual, relational, family, community, cultural, and spiritual influences in overcoming adversity and flourishing in life. Highly recommended to inform and inspire both beginning and seasoned practitioners!"

"Dr. Christie Eppler has assembled a diverse and experienced group of authors who have written about the important topic of cultivating systemic resilience in families, relationships, and individuals. As a resilience researcher, I am impressed by the depth and scope of this work and the wide range of populations and identities to which it applies. I found each chapter to be practical, and a resource for all systemic therapists." Adrian Blow, PhD, Professor of Couple and Family Therapy, Michigan State University
