摘要:

Certain words, that we callkeywords,acquire a special set of meanings which give them a potential to bring about change. Through a brief analysis of the role of language in therapy we give an indication of why the therapeutic lexis has the scope to offer a family a new script, and how keywords can make a significant contribution to that process. Case examples are used to illustrate the effects of keywords such as ‘strike’, ‘slavery’, and ‘falling in love’. We conclude with a consideration of the form of therapeutic relationship necessary for keywords to do their job of facilitating the co‐creation of

摘要:

This article offers a thematic guide to bulimia nervosa for both therapists and clients. It explores the relationship of common themes—developmental, interactional, sociocultural and behavioural—to the central issue of control.

摘要:

This paper discusses how placing an elderly individual in nursing home respite care can lead to the emergence of major marital issues for an elderly couple. It illustrates how one can intervene systemically to change the context of this event, so that it is freeing for the individuals concerned rather than punishing. The discussion focusses on the main developmental issues for the aged and how these need to be considered for therapy and there is a review of research on the effects of out of home placement on individuals and their carers. The main techniques discussed are the use of letter writing and reflexive questioning to provide avenues for alternate explorations for the individuals concerned. These techniques were used to help a husband and wife escape repeated serious escalations that became depleting and damaging to them personally and to their relationship. There is brief comment also on the lack of attention given to psychotherapy for the elderly, with some suggestions for change.

摘要:

In the State Associations there are members who do not make names for themselves writing articles or offering workshops, and yet the influence they have on the local level can be very marked. Queenslander Clive Duffy is one such. Avoiding the limelight, which in his view would feed his ego to his own harm, and diffident about being interviewed, Clive is one of those family therapists who has survived changes in fashions and approach. He belongs to the group who believe the counsellor/therapist must attend to personal blocks as a necessary preparation for and accompaniment to working with clients. This interview was seen as very appropriate for helping to launch our new occasional series Spiritual Matters.

摘要:

This article takes a light‐hearted look at popular culture focusing on the 1964 filmMary Poppins.Some aspects drawn from theory underpinning family therapy and from the psychoanalytic ideas of Winnicott and Klein are applied, tongue firmly in cheek.Serious points made include the ubiquitous presence of popular culture in our lives, and the idea that Art/Popular culture may anticipate (or at least accompany) explicit formulation of scientific idea
