Main description:

Systemic Therapy has been scientific since 2008 and recognized under social law since the end of 2018. Only a rather small part of the psychosocial specialists currently trained in system therapy will find access to the health care system as a licensed psychotherapist. However, the systemic approach has long been used and valued in numerous areas of social work and related contexts. Although these work contexts often do not pursue a primarily therapeutic mandate, systems therapeutic knowledge and action are highly relevant there. What can and should systemic therapy be in these contexts in the future beyond the healing mandate? What distinctions will have to be made in the future? Which of its own concepts are systemic therapy incumbent on beyond approbation and healing mandates? The book illuminates 14 different fields of practice from a systems therapy perspective and provides fundamental answers to the questions raised.
