"Well-referenced chapters provide up-to-date understanding but also encourage the reader to study the unknown effects and the transgenerational costs of family burnout...Clinicians will resonate with the material, think about their own work, and begin to expand on these and new ideas for future study and treatment."--Kay A. Kelly, in Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic, Vol. 64, No. 1
