摘要:

The author presents the results of six years of clinical research on 114 families with psychotic children. The aim was to build up a general model of the interactional organization of these families, apparently so different from one another, which could successfully guide therapeutic interventions. For the moment the research has suggested that the psychotic breakdown of a child is theendpoint of a process in six stages. The description of the process begins with a specific couple's interaction, called “stalemate,“ in which the child, who will become psychotic, actively interferes in an effort to modify the situation. The failure of his/her attempts coincides, at the sixth stage, with his/her resorting to a psychotic behav

摘要:

The purpose of this paper is to critically analyze the structures of the new epistemologies. Epistemology is a technical term within the field of scientific philosophy. When it is used looselyby family therapists, confusion results. The central argument of the present author is that the new epistemologies are, in fact, weak theories. It is suggested that the practice of using the term “epistemology” to denote theory or paradigm, be discontinued. A more limited and narrowly defined use for the term “epistemology” is proposed. Specifically, this paper presents: (a) a discussion ofthree areas of philosophy that serve as foundations for the construction of scientific theory, (b)a critical analysis of the new epistemologies, (c) a logical structure for scientific family therapy theory, and (d) minimum requirements for a scientific theory of family

摘要:

The creation or enhancement of intimacy is a goal that is widely sought in contemporary Western life and in many therapeutic and enrichment programs with couples and families. In this paper, intimate experience is conceptualized within a developmental, or epigenetic, framework of relational systems, viewed from an evolutionary and historical perspective, and considered in the light of hypotheses about gender differences. Intimacy recurs most reliably, not when it is demanded as a primary or continuous experience, but when it emerges spontaneously within a context of basic, well‐functioning relational processe

摘要:

An empirical study of communications in a mother‐child context was conducted. Cognitive, emotional, and metacommunicational responses to “subtle inconsistencies” and consistencies in communication in this context were studied. Subtle inconsistency was found to be more stressful, complex, and evocative of responses showing a lack of metacommunication than consistency, by both clinical and non‐clinical adolescents. Finer differences were also found between clinical and non‐clinical adolescents' emotional and metacommunicational responses to subtle inconsistency. The findings provide empirical support for the double bind h

摘要:

In order to determine the predictive validity of the premarital inventory PREPARE, this study assessed the utility of PREPARE inpredicting marital success. A 3‐year follow‐up study was conducted with 164 couples who took PREPARE during their engagement. As hypothesized, it was found that satisfied couples scored significantly higher on the inventory than dissatisfied couples, divorced couples, and couples who cancelled their marriage. It was also hypothesized and found that dissatisfied married couples did not differ significantly from couples who cancelled their marriage or those who divorced. Using discriminant analysis, it was found that the PREPARE scores from 3 months before marriage could predict with 80–90% accuracy which couples were separated and divorced from those that were happily married. These findings not only demonstrate the predictive validity of PREPARE, but its potential utility in identifying high‐risk couples who could benefit from more intensive premarital cou
