This article will provide a brief overview of systemic family therapy and some of its perspectives, with a focus on strategic and structural therapy. Additionally, some of the basic approaches to strategic and structural therapy will be presented. There are many founding fathers of systemic therapy/family therapy such as Mara Selvini Palazzoli, Salvador Minuchin, Murray Bowen and John Haley. The first demarcations between different systemic-therapeutic directions appear as different developmental stages and their elements are usually integrated into practice and belong to basic systemic family therapy (Goldenberg & Goldenberg, 2013). Bowenian Family Therapy Bowen, for example, introduced multi-perspective generation therapy. The multigenerational perspective considers clinical problems from the perspective of unresolved family legacies, lack of self-differentiation, as well as demanding family delegations and the imbalance of debts and rights between generations (Goldenberg & Goldenberg, 2013). The therapeutic approach is enriched by genogram interviews and multigenerational conversations. Narrative Therapy Another systemic family therapy approach is the narrative perspective, which assumes that social systems are made up of narratives that characterize the behavior of participants. It draws attention to the processes of construction of communicative, linguistic and linguistic-philosophical identity. By deconstructing previous self-narratives, the gaze is directed to alternative stories. From a therapeutic point of view, they are carried out through practices of “solution discussion” (de Shazer), “deconstruction of dominant narratives” (White) and reflection groups (Andersen) (Goldenberg & Goldenberg, 2013). . half of the article ......people who use systemic therapy, because of its very different approaches, its targeted treatment and its intervention for each system.
