Presence of the Absent - Sluzki, Carlos E. (George Washington University, Washington, DC, and George Mason University, Fairfax and Arlington, VA, USA)

Carlos Sluzki brings a unique perspective as he shows how a therapist can reconcile the medical and mystical world by exercising cultural sensitivity and awareness. Important family therapy techniques, such as joining and anchoring, are discussed in rich and unique narratives that highlight some of the most traumatic events a family may be forced to go through.
