Abstract:
We live in a world of competing family models of which the standard model--two adults of different sex with two children of different sex--is only one among many others. Besides this sociocultural context this article focusses on the inner contexts of familytherapeutic dialogues. Processphantasies and the role of metaphor are underlined. This articles gives clinical advice how to carefully listen to the use of metaphors by family members and how to deal with them. Three extended transkripts of family sessions are presented.
