248 pages, wrappers, very good. From the publisher: with characteristic insight, compassion, and dry humor, the grand master of family therapy challenges us to mediate on some of the most perplexing - and profound - questions of the day. Why is our image of the ideal family so far from the common reality? When we have such a rich literature of individual psychology, why is the family comparatively neglected? Why does our legal system promote confrontation rather than cooperation? 'Family Kaleidoscope offers a radical departure in format. Dr. Minuchin breaks free of the typical pallidness of case reports and employs some experimental writing. He borrows form Ibsen and Pirandello, engaging an imaginary reader in dialogues and blurring fact and fantasy to present cases in the form of playlets . . . If Dr. Minuchin's example were to inspire a new way of presenting clinical case histories, it would enhance the pleasures of psychiatry's clinical literature' - New York Times Book Review.
