Bøker av David Reiss

Suitable for practitioners working in healthcare and criminal justice community settings with individuals displaying antisocial, offending, and challenging behaviours, at times complicated by severe mental disorders, this book describes familiar anxiety-provoking situations.

This report of a longitudinal study of the influence of family relationships and genetic factors on competence and psychopathology in adolescent development proposes that family relationships are crucial to the expression of genetic influences and may constitute a code for translating genetic influences into the ontogeny of behaviors.

David Reiss presents a new model of family interaction grounded in the subtle and complex way in which a family constructs its inner life and deals with the outside world. Based upon fifteen years of research, the book offers a new understanding of the covert processes that hold a family together and, with distressing frequency, pull it apart.
