“…They indicate that a multimethod approach to family assessment is warranted. However, the consistent correlations also emphasize the need for theoretical integration between clinical and theoretical concepts of family functioning, as already indicated by several others (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Our final speculations about such a theoretical integration are as follows.…”

Employing a family interaction paradigm, the psychodynamic development of personality (Consensus Spouse-Rorschach, CSR), mutuality in interpersonal perception (Interpersonal Perception Method), and feedback mechanisms in communication (the Confirmation-Disconfirmation Coding System) were investigated. The subjects were 66 parents (33 couples) whose offspring were as follows: 12 schizophrenics (RDC, DSM-III, DSM-III-R), 12 with other mental disorders, and 9 subjects with no mental disorder. Communication was observed in 2 situations, using CSR and the Colour Conflict Method. Feedback mechanisms in parent communication, previously found to be associated with offspring mental disorder, were associated both with lack of mutuality in interpersonal perception and low personality development. Lack of mutuality was associated with low parent personality development. The results emphasize the usefulness of monitoring both parent personality development (family structure), mutuality in interpersonal perception (family phenomenology), and communication (family behaviour) when assessing interaction in families of patients with severe mental disorder. They also point to a need for theoretical integration between the different concepts of family interaction of different clinical and theoretical traditions.

“…They feel that family therapy should be taught in increasing complexity through medical school, general psychiatry residency, and child psychiatry residency, with the most emphasis in child psychiatry training (20). Yet, considering the controversies that surround the incorporation of family therapy into child psychiatry (7, 12, 16), it is not clear that the task force represents a consensual view, i.e., that family therapy is more central to child psychiatry than to adult psychiatry. Furthermore, everyone does not agree that family therapy should be taught any more or less in child psychiatry than in other aspects of GPRPs.…”

“…Some of this ambivalence may have to do with the perception of family therapy as a threat, in part because only a small fraction of any psychiatric faculty is more than superficially familiar with the theories and techniques of the field. Glick and Goodrich have suggested that one way to decrease this impasse is to teach a family therapy course to the senior faculty (10, 12). These suggestions must of course be offered in the right context, or they can become inflammatory and provocative rather than constructive.…”

This article explicates policy issues and alternatives in the integration of family therapy training within general psychiatry residency programs. These issues include controversies about the definition of the field; elective versus required teaching; curriculum content; and when, where, and who should teach family therapy in this context. The article concludes with recommendation for further clarification of this training area.

“…Several authors have stressed the importance of not just combining but of integrating the individual and family approaches (23,(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30). As early as 1965, Boszormenyi-Nagy and Framo wrote that "the distinction between intrapsychic and interpersonal processes keynotes what will probably be the major theoretical issue of psychopathology for some time to come.…”

The Integrated Use of Individual and Family Psychotherapy

For almost thirty years after the development of family therapy, the concurrent use of family and individual psychotherapy was seen as incompatible by leading proponents of each modality. Although recently the literature has revealed an increased willingness to utilize family and individual therapies concurrently, the decision for or against any such combination has been left largely to the intuition or bias of the individual clinician. This paper suggests the concurrent use of family and individual psychotherapies when disturbances of family structure and interaction co-exist with, reinforce, and are maintained by largely ego- syntonic internalized psychopathology (that is, the character defences of individual family members). It provides a rationale for integrating the concurrent therapies, and uses clinical examples to illustrate how each can potentiate the other. There is a discussion of indications and contraindications for the integrated use of concurrent family and individual therapy. From their attempts to apply these principles, the authors conclude that the experience for the family, the individual and the therapists is that the selective and integrated use of concurrent family and individual therapies can achieve more than can either therapy alone--the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
