Family Therapy Basics: A Year In Review

Well, it's that time of year--when I can look back on the year's accomplishments and set goals for the future.

The title of this post is a bit misleading, because familytherapybasics.com (FTB) has only been in existence for four months.  So . . . it should be “four months in review.”  Nevertheless, the past four months have been exciting, surprising, and encouraging, thanks to you!  

Today, I want to highlight the most popular resources from the FTB site, so that you can easily find something you may have missed.  The purpose of this post is to organize what readers believe are the best resources from the past four months, so that you can access them easily and quickly.
