Publications

This is a miniature ‘virtual library’ that identifies some of the literature related to the field of working with whole families and family potential. It is not intended as an exhaustive list, nor to replicate things that appear elsewhere. For that reason, some of the resources listed will link you to other places. If you notice any of our links are broken or you feel there is anything missing that should be added here, please contact Helen Harris, Email: h.m.a.harris@bham.ac.uk
