Title: [Family psychotherapy in clinical psychotherapy of adults].
Abstract: Family therapy and psychoanalytical individual therapy are compatible. In family therapy, attention is directed at the system "family", in individual therapy, attention is directed at the system "individual". The views of system-theory versus individual-psychogenetical theory are related to one another analogous to general theory versus special theory (Ciompi). Indications for family therapy in inpatient clinics are: 1. The in-patient is overstressed by his unchanged family. 2. The family is overstressed by the changed patient. In this paper, therapeutical procedures in practising family therapy in an in-patient clinic for psychotherapy are described, the theoretical basis is discussed. Two case histories serve to illustrate the main points.
