Publisher's Synopsis
A brave and innovative work that updates family therapy and expands its limits by proposing a true dialogue that joins efforts to understand and treat family suffering. Since the middle of the 20th century, psychology has approached the family as an object of study, focusing on its complexity, its resources, its difficulties and its pathologies. Among the different schools that have been interested in the family, the psychoanalytic and the systemic are the ones that have the longest historical trajectory, despite having traveled divergent paths, if not diametrically opposed ones. Hence, their advances in both theory and clinical practice have not been able to combine satisfactorily. This book is born from this need for articulation. Incorporating the contributions of psychoanalytic and systemic perspectives, and the clinical experience accumulated to date, authors provide an important tool for updating therapists while facilitating psychology and medical students who are in training the integration of the different approaches.
