Systemic circularity: working with individuals for family-level change.
Circularity in therapeutic relationships is a commonly encountered topic in the family literature. When the client is a family, circular interviewing questions and statements enable the systemic nurse therapist to encourage reflexive contemplation within the larger relational system. However, family visits often are difficult or impossible to initiate. When this situation occurs, nurse therapists need systemic approaches that can be used to promote growth within the larger system. Circular interviewing questions and statements can be used with individuals to promote family change.
