摘要:

Stories of family therapy with Holocaust Survivors and their families are presented. They came with symptoms or complaints that seemed unusual and at times bizarre. Although they had seen other members of the helping professions, the Holocaust had never been mentioned. Only when it was explored did their problems become comprehensible and meaningful, providing the context for alleviating or resolving their complaints.The positive aspects of survivors' silence are explored. Silence is often experienced as strength, courage, and a testimonial to those who perished.The amazing resilience of the survivors, the strength and vitality that made it possible for them to overcome their pasts and build new lives in a new country, are highlighted.

摘要:

In many situations it is clearly important to value difference and foster mutual acceptance. Yet in other circumstances it is very likely that the policy of ‘valuing difference’ can translate into a rationalisation for ethical and political indifference: “Who am I to judge? Everything is equally valid”. At a second level of analysis, it is also important to recognise that there are elemental and often positive dynamics enacted through difference. In formulating a sense of identity, for example, perceptions of dissimilarity between people are often as fundamental as are positive definitions of self. In relation to identity and identity generation, differences engender differentiation between children and their families, between ‘our group’ and ‘your group’ and between family therapy and other practice methodologies. In examining the themes of indifference and differentiation I hope to re‐work a number of assumptions about “sameness” and “differ

摘要:

Three thirteen year old boys presented with overlapping symptoms in the area of obsessionality, fears and compulsive behaviour. Therapy took the form of individual work with each boy, regular consultations with the mothers (and occasional consultations with fathers) and theoretically eclectic interventions tailored to the needs of each. Additionally, the boys and parents were linked into a network by a private “newsletter”. The newsletter proved to amplify the effect of progress by each client, and acted as a catalyst to the others. Newsletter material deliberately employed some psychodynamic formulations alongside systemic o
