A New Look at Research in Marital and Family Therapy

Floyd, William A.

Journal of Family Counseling, 4, 2, 19-22, F 76

It is contended that many clinical theories are promoted on the basis of merchandising principles. However, some encouraging developments are cited, and recommendations are made. (Author/NG)
