Lisa M. Hooper & Luciano L’Abate 
Models of Psychopathology 
Generational Processes and Relational Roles

This book explores current relational models of psychopathology that undergird a great many conflicts and destructive outcomes in family and intimate relationships. These models have similar features and can be considered as a group. They are all: (1) generational; (2) relational; and (3) fundamentally reactive processes stemming from existing psychopathology.
