It equips mental health clinicians with practical therapeutic activities to use in their work with clients struggling with health care or grief issues.

The effects of illness, disability, and loss in everyday life can be profound. Besides the individual repercussions, these challenges also affect the lives of the family and social networks of those individuals experiencing them. The Therapistâ€™s Notebook for Family Health Care brings together the knowledge and experience of over 30 experts in the field for a unique collection that therapists and clients alike will find immediately useful. Situated in four unique subject-specific sections for quick reference, this text covers a broad scope of common problems. Also included is a bonus section focusing on thoughtful suggestions for self-care and professional development.

Some of the many topics and techniques presented in The Therapistâ€™s Notebook for Family Health Care include:
- conducting interviews using the biopsychosocial-spiritual method
- using the Family System Test (FAST) to explore clientsâ€™ experiences with their healthcare system and providers
- increasing social support to manage chronic illness

- facilitating family problems using scatterplots
