In: Journal of Family Therapy 24(4), S. 349-350 Bertrando, Paolo (2002): The presence of the third party: systemic therapy and transference analysis. In: Journal of Family Therapy 24(4), S. 351-368 abstract: While today many therapists try to integrate different therapeutic models, it does not seem easy to define the specific clinical features of each model. In this article, the practice of systemic individual therapy is compared to the psychoanalytic practice of transference analysis. The relevant distinction is found in the different use of third parties within the therapeutic frame. In systemic therapy, the third party is 'presentified' within the therapeutic dialogue, which becomes centred on external relationships, while in transference analysis the third party is subsumed to the therapeutic (transferential) relationship, which is considered the core of therapy. The practical consequences of those two different 'technologies of the self' are discussed. Katz, Ellen (2002): 'At the still point of the turning world': a journey through the temporal dimensions of a father-son conflict. In: Journal of Family Therapy 24(4), S. 369-384 abstract: This paper will examine aspects of the permeability of time, with a view to exploring our perceptions of ourselves as present-focused distinct individuals. Permeability of time is defined as time's fluidity, its ability to move across boundaries of past, present and future. Fluidity, in this sense, is our capacity to experience past, present and future simultaneously. Time will be examined from both psychoanalytic and systemic viewpoints. Issues of time and timelessness, consciousness and memory will be raised and the usefulness of working from an affective base discussed. The case cited in the paper is one in which the family was in the stage of having an adolescent child. Adolescence will therefore be discussed as it relates to the issue of time. The clinical discussion will be based on an integration of the two theoretical perspectives as they relate to time and affect. In conclusion I will revisit the question of our perception of ourselves as present-focused distinct individuals within a family context. Legg, Charles & Paraskevi Stagaki (2002): How to be a postmodernist: a user's guide to postmodern rhetorical practices. In: Journal of Family Therapy 24(4), S. 385-401 abstract: Family therapists are being encouraged to adopt a postmodern approach to therapy and knowledge. Postmodernism is more than a set of beliefs that therapists can either accept or reject; it is an approach to the construction of truth that eschews many of the forms of argumentation, such as appeals to logic or evidence, characteristic of earlier writing in family therapy. In this paper we present some of the alternative rhetorical strategies used by contemporary family therapy and family therapy texts in the construction of novel truths. These strategies include: writing in the first person; making qualified or conditional assertions; implying rather than stating truths; 'delegitimizing' conflicting views; and ignoring disagreement. We discuss the value of these strategies in maintaining the authority of therapists and commentators on therapy in the face of the widespread incredulity towards metanarratives, such as science, that characterize postmodern society. Yandoli, Dennis, Ivan Eisler, Claire Robbins, Geraldine Mulleady & Christopher Dare (2002): A comparative study of family therapy in the treatment of opiate users in a London drug clinic. In: Journal of Family Therapy 24(4), S. 402-422 abstract: This study presents the results of a randomized treatment trial of family therapy and two control treatments for 119 outpatient opiate users. All treatments were combined with a methadone reduction programme. The control treatments were: (1) a 'standard' treatment (supportive psychotherapy) and (2) a 'low contact' intervention. Treatment outcome was evaluated six and twelve months after the initial assessment. Both the family therapy and minimal intervention groups had a significantly higher number of drug-free days at six and twelve months, compared to the standard treatment, despite receiving fewer treatment sessions. Across all treatments there was evidence for a gender difference in response to therapy in users who were in a couple relationship. In couples where both partners were using drugs women did significantly better than men. Men living with a non-drug-abusing partner fared better than men living with a drug-using partner. Across the treatment groups diminution in drug use was accompanied by improvements in psychosocial functioning. Unemployment, sharing needles and injecting drugs were predictive of poor outcome. Rivett, Mark (2002): The family therapy journals in 2001: a thematic review. In: Journal of Family Therapy 24(4), S. 423-435 abstract: This article reviews the principal English-language (including British) family therapy journals for the year 2001. Articles are clustered around various common themes which include marital therapy and cultural competency. There is also a discernible interest in working with populations that have received less attention from family therapists such as substance misusers. Within this literature there is also a trend to 'import' ideas and methods from other therapeutic traditions. Important research papers are noted from within these categories, rather than having a separate section. As this is the fifth in a series of reviews, a 'look back' at trends within the family therapy literature concludes the paper. |
