Process, structure and world views: toward an integrated view of systemic models in family therapy.
Therapeutic modalities centered in interpersonal processes, in structural phenomena, and in reality constructions--the three care orientations in the field of family therapy--are here defined as mutually nonexclusive "translations" of the systemic paradigm into clinical practice. This definition does not attempt to blur the distinctions among these models but seeks to show their common denominator and thus expands the conceptual and clinical repertoire of the systems-oriented family therapist.
