Violence and the Systemic View
Violence is a strikingly lineal concept that is difficult to address from a systemic perspective. Bateson's epistemological disqualification of the concept of power is often understood to imply a corresponding systemic disqualification of the concept of violence. This position is examined in light of recent feminist criticism. It is argued that (a) violence and power belong essentially to the domain of human experience and (b) human experience ca…
The Invented Reality
Paradox Redux
Paradox is inherently an epistemological phenomenon. The “existence” of parodox requires the premises and beliefs of an observer. There are no phenomena which are paradoxical in themselves—apart from an observer. The major premise that generates “paradox” is the (false) assumption that we live in an Aristotelian universe. This premise requires that self‐recursive phenomena be considered to be somehow unreal or illusory. Such epistemological (and …
Some Irreverent Thoughts on Paradox
There is currently great interest in the use of paradox in psychotherapy. Unfortunately, there is also considerable confusion and misunderstanding of paradox, owing, in part, to the lack of a comprehensive theory that explains the role of paradox in human problems. This paper does not address itself to such theory but explores some cultural and epistemological components of therapists' misperceptions and misattributions of “paradox.”
Moral structure and moral content
Trigenerational enmeshment
Some divorced single-parent mothers return home to live with their families of origin. The absence of clear delineation of the roles of grandmother, mother, and child can produce a dysfunctional family unit, identified here as trigenerational enmeshment. Clinical features of this subgroup are discussed, and examples of treatment approaches are presented
