Teenagers Family Relationships 

For too long, practitioners and students working with adolescents have been forced to consult a variety of sources to bring together theory and practice in a meaningful way. Professor McKenzie draws on his extensive experience as both a practitioner and an academic to create a comprehensive book, one that provides a strong theoretical base as well as practical techniques to effectively use theory in practice. The result is an inclusive approach to working with adolescents that brings together essential information in one concise volume.
