ABSTRACT
This section discusses case studies from the psychoanalytic (Chapter 8), symbolic/experiential (Chapter 9), and human validation process (also often called experiential) (Chapter 10) traditions. We have chosen to group these models of family therapy together because, in our view, they share a focus on patterns of emotion. Congruence of affect and expressed emotion, emotional authenticity, and the emotional bond between therapist and client are important in all three of these models.
