摘要:

This paper examines problems in adolescence from the perspective of a power struggle between parent(s) and teenager. The structural approach of Minuchin and the strategic approaches of Haley, Madanes, and the Mental Research Institute (M.R.I.) are considered in relation to the significance they attribute to power and power struggles in families with adolescents. It is argued that the M.R.I. approach has certain therapeutic advantages for working with problematic adolescents, primarily because of its focus on understanding and intervening in the power struggle itself. A focus on the power struggle as the ‘problem’ reminds the therapist of the circular nature of parent‐adolescent interactions. This awareness assists the therapist to design indirect interventions that are less likely to become absorbed into this vicious cycle. It also encourages a therapeutic stance that prevents the therapist from becoming involved in a power struggle with family me

摘要:

Literature in family therapy training neglects to address the usefulness of individual supervision. Just as family members struggle to integrate needs for autonomy with needs for family membership, so the individual family therapy trainee has individual concerns. Psychoanalytic literature fully recognises the power of the emotional responses of the psychotherapist, but is uncertain how to handle these reactions, especially in terms of the parallel process between psychotherapy and supervision. The integration of individual process‐centred supervision with live group supervision and training provides a structure within which to maximize the supervisory experienc

摘要:

Responding to the question implicit in the title of the 1985 National Family Therapy Conference ‘Coming of Age’, the author argues that Australian family therapy still has a number of issues to face before it can be said to be a mature and independent adult. The paper focuses on three issues — ideology in family therapy, theory for practice, and practice itself— and raises questions about the adequacy of Australian family therapy's theoretical maturity, suggesting that there is still too much reliance on the ‘new’ and on the ‘guru’ rather than on a solid building on therape

摘要:

John Weakland, Associate Director, Brief Therapy Institute, Palo Alto, graciously agreed to be interviewed on Columbus Day (a public holiday in the United States) at short notice, and despite the time constraints of his busy practice and the interviewer's being in San Francisco for only four days. It is hoped that the resulting interview does justice to John Weakland's profound influence on the field of family therapy since its beginnings.
