Book excerpt: One of family therapy's wittiest and most sensible writers uses the family crisis as a launching point for discussing the entire range of events that can disrupt marriage and family life.

Pittman show how the therapist can make the most of these crisis, creatively using whatever is at hand to pull the family through the chaos.
