| 1/2004 - 2/2004 - 3/2004 - 4/2004 - Übersicht Bertrando, Paolo (2004): Systems in evolution: Luigi Boscolo and Gianfranco Cecchin in conversation with Paolo Bertrando and Marco Bianciardi. In: Journal of Family Therapy 26(3), S. 213-223 McNamee, Sheila (2004): Promiscuity in the practice of family therapy. In: Journal of Family Therapy 26(3), S. 224-244 abstract: Family therapy has continually confronted choices between polarized positions, each one taken up with zeal because it solved an old dilemma but eventually encountering its own limitations. In this article I suggest that we have evolved to a point where, instead of deciding which is better, we can focus on how to use theories, models and techniques as fluid and flexible resources for action in the therapeutic conversation. Doing so focuses our attention on how we can move in and out of various positions, including those that simplify issues and those that embrace complexity. In addition, our attention is drawn to the ways in which we can make choices between following a model as opposed to engaging in spontaneous dialogue. This promiscuous stance can help trainers and therapists answer questions concerning how we make decisions in therapy. Such promiscuity also positions us to confront our images and expectations of what it means to be a professional. Rycroft, Pam (2004): When theory abandons us - wading through the 'swampy lowlands' of practice. In: Journal of Family Therapy 26(3), S. 245-259 abstract: This paper uses three clinical examples to illustrate the experience of feeling abandoned by theory - times when no one model has sufficient signposts to show the way. Therapy is considered to be an endlessly creative interpersonal encounter, to which the client brings the major resource for change. It is argued that the therapist is influenced by worldview, values and beliefs, and personal style, as well as by theoretical model. Further, it is suggested that there is a need to acknowledge and investigate the limitations of therapy. An argument is made for 'going beyond the model', for seeking an ethical practice based on what our clients tell us is important, and for sharing across models the common dilemmas and goals of therapy. Clinicians are encouraged to articulate their own 'swampy lowland' principles of practice. Speed, Bebe (2004): All aboard in the NHS: collaborating with colleagues who use different approaches. In: Journal of Family Therapy 26(3), S. 260-279 abstract: Drawing on the author's Mental Health Trust experience, this paper explores and celebrates the diversity of multi-disciplinary, multi-model approaches within a National Health Service context and the challenges systemic practitioners encounter in fitting what they have to offer into these complex professional systems. It suggests that we can best meet these challenges both by looking for underlying similarities between approaches and finding ways to accommodate and celebrate the differences. Asen, Eia (2004): Collaborating in promiscuous swamps - the systemic practitioner as context chameleon? In: Journal of Family Therapy 26(3), S. 280-285 Soyez, Veerle, Hilde Tatrai, Eric Broekaert & Rudy Bracke (2004): The implementation of contextual therapy in the therapeutic community for substance abusers: a case study. In: Journal of Family Therapy 26(3), S. 286-305 abstract: Family therapy takes a special position in the therapeutic community for substance abusers (TC). In the early therapeutic communities, the family of origin was not considered as important for the substance abuser's recovery process, and was even labelled as part of the problem. It was only in the 1970s that the TC acknowledged the significance of family involvement in treatment. Nowadays, the contextual vision of Ivan-Boszormenyi-Nagy seems to have a strong impact on family counselling activities in Belgian TCs. In this article, the integration of contextual thinking in the TC is discussed. By means of a case study, it is shown that there are some clear parallels between the treatment evolutions in family counselling and the peer group community. The central position of trust both in contextual therapy and the TC treatment model is an important common ground for stimulating integration. Some obstacles that can disrupt this integration process are discussed. Akister, Jane (2004): Abstracts. In: Journal of Family Therapy 26(3), S. 306-310 |
