ABSTRACT

The following case is especially illustrative of the value of the multidimen-sional Intersystem Model. The couple's problems were the result of the interaction of many systems and factors—intergenerational and individual systems, with issues around chronic illness, gender roles, and life cycle development. The challenge for the therapist was to orchestrate and balance working with all of these systems and issues, as they all were important to the couple's learning to interact in a more productive fashion.
