Stefan Eikemann presents a concept of systemic couple therapy in this book, which integrates the latest approaches from developmental psychology and allows for a more nuanced understanding of couple relationships. This is achieved by viewing the couple's intimate space as a "playground of meanings," where each couple develops its own rules of play. New perspectives and cross-border action possibilities are prepared when, for example, the horizons of meaning from the families of origin come into play. Through numerous examples, the author describes how the game of meanings arises, how it can develop, what rules are agreed upon, and where the stumbling blocks lie. Eikemann sees the therapist's role as providing a space and tools so that the game that the couple has lost can be rediscovered together.
