Assessing families and couples: From Symptom to System
Family Therapy Techniques
Minuchin traces for the first time the minute operations of day-to-day practice. Having achieved renown for his theoretical breakthroughs and his success at treatment, he now explains those precise and difficult maneuvers that constitute his art. The book thus codifies the method of one of the country’s most successful practitioners.
Psychosomatic Families: Anorexia Nervosa in Context
A Conceptual Model of Psychosomatic Illness in Children: Family Organization and Family Therapy
Linear and open systems (multiple feedback) models of psychosomatic illness in children are contrasted in terms of their implications for cause and treatment. An open systems family model is presented that describes three necessary (but not independently sufficient) conditions for the development and maintenance of severe psychosomatic problems in children: (1) a certain type of family organization that encourages somatization; (2) involvement of…
Family lunch session: An introduction to family therapy in anorexia nervosa
Family lunch sessions have proved a useful diagnostic and therapeutic technique in the treatment of anorexia nervosa. This paper describes the goals of these sessions and the strategies employed in the restructuring of family relationships. Data are presented illustrating changes in eating behavior of eight identified patients
Families and Family Therapy

This paper discusses changing family subgroupings and shifting observational sets to help family members learn to experience their feelings more clearly and begin to see how they can change their ways of behaving
A project to teach learning skills to disturbed, delinquent children
Patterns of communication in low socioeconomic families which produce acting-out children were analyzed, implications for learning discussed, and an experimental “game'' curriculum for teaching formal elements of communication was designed and tested in ten sessions over five weeks with six disturbed, delinquent children
The study and treatment of families that produce multiple acting-out boys
There are hundreds of children who present a combination of childish dependency and negativistic bravado. They are full of resourcefulness and cunning about how to get along in the streets, yet they are hopelessly ignorant and illiterate after six grades of public school. They demand constant gratification but do not admit being gratified. This chapter is confined to two areas, namely, what the authors have observed about how the families functio…
A method for the clinical study of family interaction
Two tools designed to study family interaction are discussed in their diagnostic application. Information about family members' percepts of each other, social roles assigned to and assumed by family members and facets of interpersonal and intrapersonal disturbance illustrate clinical use of these techniques
