“…1990,20(1) the illness may assist in preserving the equilibrium of the family as a whole. Haley's work on the communicational dimension of symptoms can also be seen as an extension of the sick-role concept, focusing on the interactional meaning of the sick role and sickness behaviour (Haley, 1971;Madanes & Haley, 1977).…”

General systems theory is proposed as a framework for understanding chronic illness, and for intervention in chronic illness. It is suggested that chronic illness needs to be understood as a particular type of unhealth system. Various components of the unhealth system are described including disease, illness, sickness and illness behaviour, and applied to an understanding of chronic illness. The personal and temporal or developmental aspects of chronic illness are also described. The implications and value of a systems theory view of chronic illness are discussed and illustrated with two case demonstrations.Die Aigemene sisteemteorie word bespreek as 'n raamwerk waarbinne kroniese siekte verstaan kan word en intervensie beplan kan word. Kroniese siekte kan gesien word as 'n bepaalde ongesonde sisteem. Verskillende komponente van 'n ongesonde sisteem word beskryf onder andere organiese siekte en siek wees gedrag en dan toegepas op kroniese siekte om sodoende 'n beter beg rip hiervan te verkry. Die persoonlike en temporale of ontwikkelingsgang van 'n kroniese siekte word ook bespreek. Die implikasies en waarde van 'n sisteemteoretiese benadering tot 'n kroniese siekte word bespreek en toegelig aan die hand van twee gevallestudies.

“…Attempts to portray this segmentation or diversification by contrasting the models of family therapy (Guerin, 1976;Madanes & Haley, 1977;Olson, 1971;Olsen et al, 1980), while useful do not meet the need to identify and retain those components of family therapy theory and practice which are generic across all models or orientations to working with families (Simon, 1980).…”

“…This should not be confused with differences in style or technique (Madanes and Haley, 1977;Cooklin, 1979). The therapeutic framework is based on an understanding of communication (Watzlawick et al, 1967 ;Watzlawick, 1978) ; on the therapeutic use of resistance (Haley, 1963 ;Erickson and Rossi, 1975) ; on the importance of understanding the context within which the problem is maintained (Watzlawick et al, 1974); and on a cybernetic understanding of behaviour patterns (Bateson, 1973;Palazzoli et al, 1978).…”

'Can I (let you let me) leave?’ Therapy with the adolescent and his family

A number of dimensions are reviewed in relation to adolescence. The focus is primarily on adolescence in the context of the family, but it is acknowledged that this is an arbitrary and restricted view of wider social and cultural contexts. It is briefly suggested why this area of work may have been under‐represented in professional work in the past. An outline is given of varying ways of defining adolescence, and the impact of this developmental stage in the family life cycle for the adolescent and his family. Within this context, choices must be made over approaches to treatment, and a structural hierarchical framework is proposed. Some of these dilemmas are discussed in relation to therapy with a family where the presenting problem was drug addiction in the younger son. This case was chosen for the many difficulties it raised for the therapist and the other professionals directly involved. The subsequent discussion looks at the implications of some of the mistakes made in therapeutic strategy.
