It tends to view change in terms of the systems of interaction between family members. It emphasizes family relationships as an important factor in psychological health. What the different schools of family therapy have in common is a belief that, regardless of the origin of the problem, and regardless of whether the clients consider it an "individual" or "family" issue, involving families in solutions is often beneficial. This involvement of families is commonly accomplished by their direct participation in the therapy session. The skills of the family therapist thus include the ability to influence conversations in a way that catalyzes the strengths, wisdom, and support of the wider system. In the field's early years, many clinicians defined the family in a narrow, traditional manner usually including parents and children. As the field has evolved, the concept of the family is more commonly defined in terms of strongly supportive, long-term roles and relationships between people who may or may not be related by blood or marriage. Family therapy has been used effectively in the full range of human dilemmas; there is no category of relationship or psychological problem that has not been addressed with this approach. The conceptual frameworks developed by family therapists, especially those of family systems theorists , have been applied to a wide range of human behaviour, including organizational dynamics and the study of greatness .

S. & Fraenkel, P. (2002). The history of couple therapy: A millennial review. Family Process, 41, 199-260. G&F point out that couples therapy (formerly marital therapy) has been largely neglected, even though family therapists do 1.5- 2 times as much couple work as multigenerational family work. They also note this is not such a bad ratio, as 40% of people coming to therapy attribute their problems to relationship issues. G&F define Four Phases in the History Couples Therapy: Phase I - 1930 to 1963 Atheoretical • 1929 to 1932 - Three marital clinics opened; they were service and education oriented, and saw mostly individuals • The closest thing to theory was what was borrowed from psychoanalytic - interlocking neurosis • 1931 the first marital therapy paper was published • Theory was marginalized due to a lack of brilliant theorists, and a lack of distinction from individual analysis Phase II - 1931 to 1966 Psychoanalytic Experimentation • Therapists are seen as telling truth from distortion, rather than creating a truth • Mostly individual sessions, but some conjoint; still treated like seeing two individual clients in the same room though • Some started to downplay the role of the therapist • Family was outshining couples work, and the couple techniques weren't innovative or particularly effective Phase III - 1963 to 1985 Family Therapy Incorporates • Family therapy overpowers couples, even though a number of big name people really mostly saw couples o Jackson Coined concepts like quid pro quo, homeostasis, and double bind for conjoint therapy o Satir Coined naming roles members played, fostered self-esteem and actualization, and saw the therapist as a nurturing teacher o Bowen Multigenerational theory approach, with differentiation, triangulation, and projection processes, with the therapist as an anxiety-lowering coach - societal projection process was the forerunner of our modern awareness of cultural differences Copied from the web. o Haley Power and control (or love and connection) were key. Avoided insight, emotional catharsis, conscious power plays. Saw system as more, and more important, than the sum of the parts Phase IV - 1986 to now Refining and Integrating • 1986 was the publication of G&K book • New Theories were tried and refined, like Behavioral Marital Therapy, Emotionally Focused Marital Therapy, and Insight-Oriented Marital Therapy. All four have received good empirical support. Couples therapy was used to treat depression, anxiety, and alcoholism. • Efforts were focused on preventing couples problems with programs like PREP • Feminism, Multiculturalism, and Post-Modernism impacted the field • Eclectic integration, brief therapy, and sex therapy ideas were incorporated into our work Copied from the web. • http://www.psychpage.com/family/library/history_of_couples_therapy.html 6 History and theoretical frameworks Formal interventions with families to help individuals and families experiencing various kinds of problems have been a part of many cultures, probably throughout history. These interventions have sometimes involved formal procedures or rituals , and often included the extended family as well as non-kin members of the community (see for example Ho'oponopono ). Following the emergence of specialization in various societies, these interventions were often conducted by particular members of a community – for example, a chief , priest , physician , and so on - usually as an ancillary function. [1] Family therapy as a distinct professional practice within Western cultures can be argued to have had its origins in the social work movements of the 19th century in England and the United States .[1] As a branch of psychotherapy , its roots can be traced somewhat later to the early 20th century with the emergence of the child guidance movement and marriage counselling .[2] The formal development of family therapy dates to the 1940s and early 1950s with the founding in 1942 of the American Association of Marriage Counsellors (the precursor of the AAMFT ), and through the work of various independent clinicians and groups - in England ( John Bowlby at the Tavistock Clinic ), the US (John

    Reflections on “Self-Will Run Riot” by Roget Lockard Lynn Hoffman Saint Joseph College I am glad Jon Diamond has asked me to comment on Roget Lockard’s article. It was just 20 years ago that I emigrated from New York City to North Amherst. Early on, Roget sought me out as a supervisor and general intellectual companion. I too remember that amazing conference with the title: “Is the Earth a Living Organism?” The meeting was an idea of two psychologists from California who put an ad in Science magazine asking if there might be an audience for a conference of that name. They were overwhelmed with responses, and the event was held in the conference center of the University of Massachusetts. The persons who attended looked so earnestly New Age that I was worried that it would turn out to be the equivalent of four days in church. I had to eat my words when speakers like Catherine Bateson, the daughter of my hero Gregory Bateson, Nobel Prize winner George Wald, and James Lovelock, whose Gaia Hypothesis inspired the conference theme, held forth on the logic of seeing the natural and human worlds as part of a larger being. Roget, in his own talk, brought in an idea that I had only met once before, in an essay by Gregory Bateson called “The Cybernetics of Self” Bateson applied his ideas on complementary and symmetrical processes in relationships to an issue usually understood very differently: alcoholism. Having previously dismissed AA as a kind of lowly self-help organization, I was surprised when he explained its effectiveness in terms of a cybernetic healing process.

PREFACE PHILOSOPHY Therapeutic work with families is a recent scientific phenomenon but an ancient art. Throughout human history, designated persons in all cultures have helped couples and families cope, adjust, and grow. In the United States, the interest in assisting families within a healing context began in the 20th century and continues into the 21st. Family life has always been of interest, but because of economic, social, political, and spiritual val- ues, outsiders made little direct intervention, except for social work, into ways of helping family functioning until the 1950s. Now, there are literally thousands of professionals who focus their attention and skills on improving family dynamics and relationships. In examining how professionals work to assist families, the reader should keep in mind that there are as many ways of offering help as there are kinds of families. How- ever, the most widely recognized methods are counseling, therapy, educational enrich- ment, and prevention. The general umbrella term for remediation work with families is family therapy . This concept includes the type of work done by family professionals who identify themselves by different titles, including marriage and family therapists, licensed professional counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, pastoral counselors, and clergy. Family therapy is not a perfect term; it is bandied about by a number of professional associations, such as the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), the American Counseling Association (ACA), the American Psychological Association (APA), and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW).

SAGE knowledge http://dx.doi.org/10.4135/9781483346502.n107 Directive therapy and counseling is based on a systems model for the identification and modification of etiologic factors in behavioral maladjustment. Rather than focusing on psychodynamics or individual insight, the intent of directive therapy is to change behavioral interactions within a family or organizational system. In this model, the therapist designs or selects a task or directive to solve the identified problem; thus, the therapist assumes full responsibility for the success or failure of treatment. In contrast to nondirective and collaborative approaches, directive therapy and counseling is typically conducted without explanation, requiring the client to trust the therapist as an expert who determines the method of intervention and the structure of the therapeutic relationship. Historical Context Directive therapy is closely connected to the beginnings of strategic family therapy. The newly formed models of family therapy, which began developing in the 1950s, represent the confluence of two [p.

  • Terapia Centrata Sull'interazione. L'eredità Di Don Jackson
    Rivista Europea di Terapia Breve Strategica e Sistemica N. 1 - 2004 Terapia centrata sull’interazione. L’eredità di Don Jackson Wendel A. Ray ¹-² Abstract Don D. Jackson è stato uno dei più prolifici pionieri degli esordi della terapia familiare e della terapia breve, colui che ha letteralmente fondato la disciplina. Il lavoro pionieristico svolto negli anni ’50 e ’60 da Jackson e dai suoi colleghi, prima nell’ambito dei progetti di ricerca di Bateson e poi al Mental Research Institute, permea la maggioranza degli attuali approcci sistemici alla terapia: dal Modello della Terapia Breve sviluppata dopo la morte di Jackson al M.R.I., al lavoro strategico di Jay Haley e Cloe Madanes, dal modello strutturale sviluppato da Salvador Minuchin, al lavoro della Scuola di Milano e alla terapia breve centrata sulla soluzione di Steve de Shazer. L’autore ripercorre la carriera di Jackson, stroncata a soli 48 anni da una morte tragica e inaspettata, attraverso i suoi successi e i contributi dati alla fondazione della Teoria Interazionale e la sua applicazione clinica al settore della Terapia Breve e Familiare. Il modello cibernetico e le nozioni di base circa i sistemi, il costruttivismo sociale, parlare il linguaggio del cliente, utilizzare domande circolari, prescrivere comportamenti, tutti questi sono solo una parte delle modalità attraverso cui Jackson ha influenzato l’attuale lavoro di gran parte dei modelli di terapia familiare e breve. Come cemento che tiene insieme i mattoni, i contributi di Jackson continuano ad essere l’elemento di coesione che lega molti degli attuali orientamenti sistemici – una testimonianza della vitalità, del coraggio e della lungimirante visione di Don D.
