A highly interesting attempt to bring a practically useful order to the thicket of current systemic therapeutic knowledge and, in particular, to better integrate the dynamics of emotions. Luc Ciompi. Over the past 50 years, systemic therapy has established itself as an important pillar alongside depth psychology and behavior therapy in its various forms. However, it urgently needs a conceptual expansion, as systemic therapy predominantly takes place as individual therapy in practice. This innovative book focuses on intrapsychic processes and disorders that have not been adequately considered in the systemic context until now. Through theory and detailed case studies, the authors demonstrate how direct work with emotions and feelings can be integrated into the foundational orientation of the systemic concept.
