ABSTRACT
Intensive family therapy differs from all other mental health approaches in its application of principles and techniques derived from dynamic individual psychotherapy and, to a lesser extent than might be supposed, from group therapy, to helping all family members through direct observation and modification of their interactions. Although family therapy offers some of the deepest and clearest insights into intimate relationships, its practitioner finds himself confronted with problems on a unique multi personal system level of organization which involves the members' existence in a far more global fashion than group therapy.
