A Revisionist Rendering of Structural Family Therapy
نویسنده
چکیده
The popular view of structural family therapy sees the structural diagnosis of families as lying at the heart of this therapeutic approach. This article challenges that view. I t argues that the practice of structural family therapy is driven not by structural diagnosis but by two fundamental assumptions about human and family functioning: the assumption of competence and the assumption of uniqueness. Consequences of this revisionist view are explored in two areas: (a ) the area of the dialogue within the family therapyfield regarding the emerging tradition of secondorder therapy and (6 ) the area of training in structural family therapy.
