ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the authors suggests that Working with the Milan Method: Twenty Questions in 1983 as a response to the way the Milan Approach had been described and discussed up to that time. They explores 'systemic thinking' is that it is a process based on an appreciation of certain ways of seeing things. The authors aims to think more or less systemically at different times, depending on the context they are in; and considers in what ways systemic thinking would be useful to therapists in that context. Essentially, systemic thinking is an appreciation of severaldifferent ways of understanding. Firstly, it is based on an appreciation that what the authors observe around can be understood in different ways because events can be seen in different contexts, each one giving different meaning to an event. Secondly, systemic thinking implies an appreciation that there is a connectedness between a person's beliefs and their behaviour.
