Couples and Family Counseling Handbook
Description
Book Introduction
The "Couple and Family Counseling Handbook Focusing on Korean Families" was published to uncover new counseling topics facing Korean families and provide practical guidance that reflects the unique family types of our society.
This second edition delves deeper into newly emerging family types and counseling topics, particularly in Korean society.
Topics include the isolation and psychological support issues experienced by single-person households, the attachment and loss that arise in the process of accepting pets as family members, and the formation of networks among individuals who choose to remain single.
In addition, we reexamined the meaning and function of family in a changing society and developed counseling intervention methods to help various family forms remain healthy and harmonious.
