The Therapist's Imagination of Self in Relation to Clients: Beginning Ideas on the Flexibility of Empathic Imaginationemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
This article offers beginning ideas about the significance of therapist's imagination of self in relation to her/his clients in the task of trying to understand their experience. In seeking to `understand' the experience of others, the therapist is able to move between an imagination of sameness/identification with the client/s, and an imagination of difference/`foreignness'. The family therapy orientation of curiosity and `not-knowing' relies on the imagination of self as different to our clients; more traditional understandings of empathic connection rely more heavily on the imagination of sameness/identification with cl...

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy (ANZJFT) 30(3): 160-172 Abstract Although family therapy was born to deal with problems posed by severe mental disorders, systemic therapists today tend to drift away from the field of psychiatry. The author refers to his own experience in psychiatry to argue in favour of the presence of the systemic model within the field: systemic understanding might be precious to counterbalance the tendency toward too easy a reliance on bio-psychiatry and pharmacology. In turn, keeping close to psychiatry and to its problems can be useful to systemic therapists, by involving them in ...

In particular, the relevance of diversity and interconnectivity between parts of a system are highlighted. Ideas explored include team functioning...

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy (ANZJFT) 30(1): 15-28 Abstract While supporting the need to make class and other forms of marginalisation more visible in the understanding of, and response to, domestic violence, this article argues that, domestic violence is ultimately a discursive phenomenon and that patriarchal discourse remains the fount of domestic violence. This conclusion was drawn after data from a qualitative study of 24 men, from different cultural groups (ethnic, religious, racial, age and class), who had used violence in an intimate heterosexual relationship was considered, alongside ethnogr...

This article describes some of the key processes involved in developing a self-soothing capacity within an effort to define a more autonomous self in significant relationships. The author contrasts Family Systems thinking with other theoretical perspectives that speak to the importance of self-soothing. Finally, the role of the therapist as a facilitator of an environment in which the self-soothing resources of clients can emerge is considered alongside suggestions and strategies for how a therapist may contribute to a client's own efforts.

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy (ANZJFT) 30(1): 51-65 Abstract A challenge for contemporary family therapists is negotiating differences between modern and postmodern frameworks in the practice context. Modernists espouse a systemic metaphor, use evidence-based and interventive approaches, including strategic, structural- or solution-focused techniques, and believe in the therapist's knowledge, expertise and power to influence individuals or families to change. On the other hand, postmodernists follow a social constructionist, dialogical or narrative paradigm, which identifies the main ingredient of th...

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy (ANZJFT) 29(4): 184-190 Abstract From a philosophic perspective on clinical practice, anorexic women and their therapists are at risk of being caught in the dichotomy between mind and body that has characterised Western thought, at least since Descartes. If doctors and patients collude in an obsession over weight and refeeding, arising from this flawed dichotomy, it may lead to flawed treatment. Patients describe eating restriction/going on hunger strike as a desperate attempt to achieve a sense of self that can develop into an addiction to the starving state. The extent...

This article explores some of the uses of absurdity and the unexpected in psychotherapy.

Erickson's confusion technique and some ideas derived from Bateson's understanding of cybernetics also serve an explanatory purpose.

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy (ANZJFT) 29(3): 133-138 Abstract Individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD) struggle with unbearable emotions that arise out of interpersonal difficulties.

The pathway to recovery for each family member is identified. A systemic analysis of these ...
