In keeping with new narrative metaphors in the family therapy field and new epistemological approaches to clinical interaction, literature as a paradigm for qualitative inquiry and evaluation is discussed. Description of a research project that explores how fictional literature can be integrated into graduate programs reveals a multi-layered, aesthetic approach to family therapy research and training as well as the design of project-specific methodology (Chenail, 1992a).

The postmodern movement has had a dramatic influence on the family therapy field and on social work, forcing a reexamination of long-held assumptions about assessment and intervention. The author explores how these ideas are being applied in the field of family therapy and the implications of this body of thought for social work practice.

This paper reviews the current position of the Milan Approach in the family therapy field. Over the past 20 years this approach has made a major contribution to the development of family therapy theory and practice in the U.K. However, the ideas have been modified in order to fit different client groups in a range of settings; until today, the Milan, or Post-Milan approach is an amalgam of the original concepts and new techniques. This paper describes the development of this approach and highlights the following topics as central to current thinking: language, power, narrative, family resilience, externalising, focusing on change, and solution focused approaches. Several techniques of the Post-Milan approach are demonstrated in a discussion of one case treated by the author.
