Perspective in systemic family therapy

Abstract

The article presents a development of the systemic family approach as theoretical and therapeutic frame that considers client in relations to gender roles. Structural and strategic family therapy, symbolic-experimental and contextual model developed within systemic family approach are discussed in the view of gender perspective, through its theoretical concepts as well as through therapeutic interventions. Feminist ideas had considerable influence on further development of family therapy. Postgender approach tends to consider as well as balance place of gender perspective in personal and relational development. Modern therapist faces demands to reconsider his own values and beliefs in relation to patriarchal system as well as to values and beliefs of his client and his family.

Rad prikazuje razvoj sistemskog porodičnog pristupa kao teorijskog i terapijskog okvira koji razmatra klijenta u njegovom odnosu prema rodnim ulogama. Strukturalna i strateška porodična terapija, simboličko-iskustveni i kontekstualni model, koji su razvijeni u okviru ovog pristupa, razmatraju se u svetlu rodne perspektive, kako kroz teorijske koncepte tako i kroz terapijske intervencije. Feminističke ideje znatno utiču na dalji razvoj porodične terapije. Postrodni pristup teži uvažavanju ali i balansiranju mesta rodne perspektive u odnosu na lični i relacijski razvoj. Savremenom porodičnom terapeutu se postavlja zahtev za preispitivanjem sopstvene vrednosti i uverenja u odnosu na patrijarhalni sistem, kao i u odnosu na vrednosti i uverenja klijenta i njegove porodice.
