摘要:

This paper deals with the knowledge and thinking of the therapist, who is the link between theory and therapy. Based on the self‐analysis of a single family consultation interview, the various theories employed and the decision points are described. It is suggested that therapists can espouse many theories or single ones, but are always confronted with difficult decisions. Some features of the field of family therapy which foster an overevaluation of science and certitude are discusse

摘要:

This paper proposes the use of “dreamwork” to evoke historical patterns or transgenerational themes. A new variant of dreamwork is described. This work is systemic as well as symbolic, combining aspects of both Gestalt and Family System therapies. Two examples present this experiential exploration of recursive historical themes. The integration of these approaches is demonstrated. Implications of this therapeutic dramatization for couple therapy are sugges

摘要:

This paper presents an integrative framework for combining some central aspects of individual psychodynamics with structural family therapy in a meaningful way. The framework derives from a developmental perspective; it relies on the concept of integrative levels of organization and on the goals of therapy as viewed from a developmental perspective. A case example is also presented that exemplifies a combined approach and demonstrates its utility.

摘要:

The origins and evolution of family interaction research are outlined in order to examine the apparent lag in the field after the initial hopes and enthusiasms of the 1960s. It is argued that family interaction research naturally drew upon the methodology of social psychology and that there was an insufficient integration of the implications of the clinical viewpoint of family systems theory into research procedure. A discussion is presented of some central concepts in scientific psychology, drawing conclusions as to how they can be broadened for the special field of family research. An experimental method for evaluating the public verifiability of complex clinical notions is described, and a number of recent investigations are scrutinized in the light of our critique. It is concluded that there are grounds for being optimistic that the gap between clinical and research thinking can be bridged, making the assessment and refinement of abstract and intricate concepts discovered in clinical procedures accessible to scientific experimentation.

摘要:

The Family Task Interview (FTI) is a multiple task interview administered by tape recorder and designed to elicit clinically relevant family interaction. The FTI has been designed to improve on previous similar instruments and a series of studies to evaluate its validity, reliability, and acceptability have been carried out. Further psychometric and practical evaluation is necessary, but results so far suggest that the FTI is a well standardized and easily administered instrument which is useful for research where assessment of family interaction using direct observation is required.

摘要:

When a family is compulsorily referred by the school for therapy, treatment failure often ensues if the family therapist, ignoring the probability of a powerful conflict between family and school, focuses prematurely on family dynamics. An alternative approach to such cases is proposed, based on questioning the “function of the symptom” notion, acknowledging the parents' predicament vis‐à‐vis the school problem, and conceptualizing therapy as the development of better
