Journal/Book: Therapie Familiale. 1992; 13: 3-19.

Abstract: Presents a nonverbal therapy method for use with families with psychosomatic disorders. This method uses sculpture to determine each family member's perceptions of how the family is at the present and how it will be in the future. The method's effectiveness in revealing the myths and fantasies that impede separation and individualization processes is illustrated with a case example of a 10-yr-old boy with asthma. The 3-phase therapeutic process is described, and the epistemological functions of family sculpture therapy are discussed. (English abstract)
