Title: Overly simplistic and not academic
Review: I recently used this text for a Counseling Addicted Families Class I was taking as a Graduate Counseling student. I found myself circling typos and writing in questions. Curtis does not cite references properly or nearly enough, with the exception of Steinglass(1987)who is overcited, causing me to think this is just a summary of his earlier book. Her explanation of family systems and family therapy seem simplistic and archaic. Since I was taking a Marriage and Family class at the same time as the addicted families class, I was learning much of the material more in depth (& more accurate) in my other class. Reading the book was frustrating, and I would not suggest anyone read it unless required for a class. There are much better Counseling Addicted Families texts such as one by Juhnke and Hagedorn.
