[About the systemic frame of psychotherapy]

Area of Science:

• Systemic family therapy
• Psychotherapy
• Communication theory

Context:

• Explores the semantic field of systemic family therapy, building on previous work on the structural field.
• Utilizes Gregory Bateson's work on text and context as a primary methodological tool.
• Draws parallels with linguistic applications of systemic theory.

Purpose:

• To delve into the semantic applications of systemic family therapy.
• To elucidate key systemic concepts such as isomorfism, analogy, and the double-bind.
• To connect systemic theory to broader implications in ethics, communication, and human development.

Summary:

• The research focuses on the semantic dimension of systemic family therapy, employing Bateson's relativistic perspective.
• Key concepts discussed include isomorfism, analogy, metascopy, learning frames, paradox, and the double-bind.
• The study links these concepts to systemic ethics, semiology, communication, family dynamics, and psychopathology.

Impact:

• Offers a theoretical framework for understanding systemic family therapy beyond classical scientific approaches.
• Provides insights into the application of systemic concepts in diverse areas like adolescence, psychosis, and institutional dynamics.
• Contributes to a deeper understanding of communication and learning within systemic frameworks.
