摘要:

It is time family therapy looked wider than the therapy session. Problems presenting also need to be viewed within a societal context. The complexity and fluid nature of issues affecting the family today needs to be recognised. To highlight this, 3 divergent areas are discussed; family structure, culture, and the nuclear threat. The myth of homogeneity is exposed and the pluralistic nature of Australian society is discussed. It is argued that family therapists have a responsibility to be aware of, and to comment on, family policy issues if the approach is to continue to develop divergent directions and extra depths.

摘要:

This paper is based on Brian Cade's keynote address to the Fifth Australian Family Therapy Conference in Canberra, but also includes some things he had intended to say and excludes some that, on reflection, seemed less important. Some of the ideas presented here have been elaborated more fully in a chapter in G. Weeks (Ed.) 1985 Promoting Change Through Paradoxical Therapy, Dow Jones‐Irwin, Homewood, Illinoi

摘要:

Family therapy used to generate immense creativity and a health irreverence, but is in danger of becoming formalized and co‐opted by established systems. Selected rigidities, humbuggeries and dilemmas are reviewed, with an eye on some pasts and future

摘要:

Differences between events, values, attitudes and relationships provide therapists with the most meaningful data in the search for a circular perspective. Systems change is believed to be dependent on the reception of relevant information by the system.Traditionally, information has been collected verbally and Tomm (1984) outlines a schema of the types of difference questions.However, clinical practice suggests that these questions are not suitable to all clients. Difference questions may be confusing and unproductive when working with young children whose language skills are not fully developed and auditory memory limited. Adults whose verbal skills are limited or whose primary mode for processing information is not auditory, also have difficulty.An alternative visual method for collecting news of difference is proposed, using Tomm's (1984) categories as a basis.Case examples are given of this technique, at the stage of data collection and as a way of marking and reinforcing change through the course of therapy.

摘要:

Brian Cade is an internationally respected family therapist, noted for his work with teams and the one‐way screen, for the creative use of metaphor and humour, and strategic interventions. Yet our interview, squeezed into a lunch‐break in the middle of a workshop held in Adelaide in September 1984, touched none of these. Instead we talked of the nuclear issue and beneath this discussion ran basic questions all therapists should ask of themselves — What is the appropriate role of the therapist? Should a therapist's own strong values have a place within therapy? And how can the therapist make an impact on so
