Feeling understood in family therapy

Journal/Book: J Fam Ther. 1997; 19: 108 Cowley Rd, Oxford, Oxon, England OX4 1JF. Blackwell Publ Ltd. 283-302.

Abstract: This paper attempts to highlight a common experience, but neglected topic, in family therapy: that of feeling understood. Aspects of postmodernism and contemporary psychoanalysis are revisited to create a theme of understanding as a fully relational activity - making sense together through language of that which lies beyond language. Some ideas on preparing to try to understand are discussed.
