Performance-Based Family Therapy

In this groundbreaking book, Charles Fishman uniquely develops a results-based accountability (RBA) into the framework of structural family therapy. Collaborating with the founder of RBA, Mark Friedman, this approach aims to transform the field of family therapy by allowing clinicians to track performance efficiently with their clients.

H. Charles Fishman, MD, a master family therapist, has trained and supervised family therapists all over the world with his primary focus on the "power of the family." He has co-authored with Salvador Minuchin a foundational text in family therapy and five other books, including Enduring Change in Eating Disorders: Interventions with Long-Term Results (Routledge).
