ABSTRACT

The goal of this chapter is to present the reader with a specific case that represents the Intersystem Model. The case of Anne and Steve was selected because of the therapist's thorough assessment of the couple's needs, as well as the consistent use of reframe and prescriptions. Furthermore, the solid client/therapist relationship was significant in providing a context in which spontaneous compliance could occur as well as other changes generated through the work of insight, family-of-origin work, and some traditional behavioral exercises.
