    PREFACE • x¡ intermediate goals. Families in any case often choose goals that are broad aspirations rather than specific targets. Therapists should build on this by formulating a series of intermediate or component steps that can be precisely specified. Aims couched in over-general terms do not lend themselves to the exact pre¬ scription of the sort of action that is feasible for the families to attempt. Ultimately, a book like this can only provide guidelines about likely problems and feasible solutions, rather than a detailed prescription for action. We will have benefitted our readers if we can persuade them to relate what we write to their own clinical experiences, and in the process increase their flexibility of approach.
