My contribution to the Perspectives column of Family Therapy magazine from the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. The magazine's readers are generally MFT clinicians at the postgraduate level and mental health professionals.
‣ In summary I conclude "We can return family therapy to its rightful place as the gold standard treatment to mitigate suffering in families long into the 21st century. The IST-RBA model provides this straightforward methodology to determine whether anybody is better off. Let’s move the needle—go beyond process and let your outcomes shine the light."

Introducing my new book, the fruit of my many years of study, practice, supervision, in the sphere of mental health, from my early days working with Salvador Minuchin and Jay Haley.
For the past two of those decades, I have seen the impressive benefits of Results-Based Accountability (RBA), an outcomes-oriented management framework, which has transformed government services worldwide.
Collaborating with Mark Friedman, the originator of RBA, we integrated RBA and Intensive Structural Family Therapy. This new hybrid framework offers many advantages for the field: a clinician’s alternative to Evidence Based Medicine, a user-friendly, incisive outcome tracking system, a model of grounded supervision and an outcomes directed Intensive family therapy and, as they say in the late night TV commercials, “and there’s more.”
In these pages, I explain how and why you too can use RBA principles, to become a “local clinical scientist,” achieving excellent outcomes for your clients, supervisees, and the next generation.

“Anyone who has ever been a family therapist or dreamed of being one, will be inspired by Fishman’s words, enriched by seeing what it means to fully deal with human problems from a systemic perspective.”
Monica McGoldrick, LCSW, PhD, Author of the foundational book The Family Life Cycle.
