["Family therapy"--basis of "social psychiatry" (author's transl)].
"Family Therapy" should be preferably interpreted as a certain "mode of thinking" rather than as a specific "technique". It offers a framework which represents an aid to orientation, enabling the therapist to deduce instructions for appropriate action in almost all fields of psychiaric workaday routine or to deliberate on the "sense" of "nonsense" of therapeutic interventions. Sociopsychiatry which wishes to avoid the atrophy resulting from "blind activism", will have to adopt a line of thought represented by the "family therapy approach".
