Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Family Therapy
  • Systemic Practice

Background:

  • Circularity is a recognized concept in family therapy literature.
  • Systemic nurse therapists utilize circular interviewing for family clients to promote reflexive contemplation.
  • Traditional family therapy often faces challenges with initiating family visits.

Observation:

  • Family visits can be difficult or impossible to arrange.
  • Systemic approaches are needed to foster growth when direct family engagement is limited.
  • Individual sessions present an alternative context for systemic interventions.

Findings:

  • Circular interviewing and statements can be adapted for individual clients.
  • This adapted approach facilitates systemic change within the larger family unit.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Individual application of circular techniques promotes reflexive contemplation relevant to the family system.

    • Implications:

    • Nurse therapists can effectively promote family change through individual sessions.
    • Circular interviewing offers a flexible strategy for systemic interventions.
    • This approach expands the reach of systemic family therapy beyond traditional family visits.
