摘要:

It is the authors' contention that there are identifiable learning constraints for trainee family therapists that influence their rate and range of practice development.These constraints are conceptualised at three levels of abstraction: 1. Dogmas from the stone tablets; 2. Restrictive styles of practice; and 3. Unarticulated presuppositions.The relationship between these constraints is discussed in relation to learning and is presented within a student‐directed framework for adult learnin

摘要:

Answers to the question ‘Why do people change in family therapy?’ remain somewhat elusive and may to some extent always remain partial. However, the perceptions of important participants in the therapeutic system, namely family members themselves, seem somewhat under‐utilised. A regular examination and integration of the families' views may lead to enrichment of our understanding of this complex area.In this paper the therapist's (and therapy team's) views of the possible catalysts of change in therapy are compared with one family's ideas twelve months after termination of treatment. The family had attended for family therapy because the middle daughter had been suffering from anorexia ne

摘要:

This article explores the stress that the wives of Australian Merchant Navy men experience as a result of the seafarer's lifestyle. The article first describes the difficulties that the wife and family experience due to the long absence of the seafarer. An exploratory survey was conducted in which 52 partners of seafarers answered questions regarding the stress they and their family experience. In addition, data were collected on their work patterns, the effect of the lifestyle on their marriage and sexual relations.While the sample obtained in this study was small, it did reveal several interesting problems associated with the seafaring family life. Eighty‐three per cent (83%) of seafarer's wives found it stressful before and after their husband was due to return home. In their roles as mothers, they also felt their children experienced considerable stress because of the seafarer's absence. Many women felt that the seafaring life caused difficulties in their marriage and 25 % of the wives believed that their husbands had or were having sexual relations outside their marriage. The results of this study offer a preliminary profile into some of the difficulties families experience as a result of the seafaring lif

摘要:

Family therapists criticise the ‘medical model’ for relying on linear causality, focusing on pathology rather than health processes and tending to coerce the family into preconceived models. These criticisms might be legitimately levelled at 19th Century models but not at modern medical models which include the circularity of general systems theory, attention to ecological field, and understanding of reciprocal influences of many factors such as emotions, antibodies, genetic endowment, nutrition, interpersonal relations, environmental stress, and symbiotic micro‐organisms. This modernised medical model is consistent with modern family therapy theory which integrates general systems theory, ecological theory, communication theory, small group process, role theory and metaphoric communications. Family therapy purists define themselves by contrasting their differences with ‘the medical model’. Eclecticists tend to be practitioners who use broad theoretical frames of reference and commonsense, straight‐forward, direct intervention where it is likely to work but will resort to indirect, metaphoric or paradoxical intervention for the more complex and resis

摘要:

Rudolf Moos, Professor of Psychiatry, Stanford University School of Medicine and Research Career Scientist at the Palo Alto Veterans Administration Medical Centre, is not well known to Australian and New Zealand therapy circles, yet his research into instruments applicable to research into the family and its dynamics is prolific, his personal energy, integrity and dedication are admirable and his persistence at researching the very difficult areas of social environments is unequalled. This interview was recorded at the Social Ecology Laboratory at Veteran's Administration Medical Centre at Palo Alto, where he is Director of the Laboratory.
