Rate this book
En el presente libro, el doctor Framo explica su método terapéutico, y el texto acaba convirtiéndose en un completo manual sobre la psicoterapia de la familia de origen. El objetivo del libro es explorar implicaciones tanto teóricas como clínicas: situaciones sensibles a una intervención intergeneracional; el miedo que provocan en ciertos grupos las sesiones a una intervención intergeneracional; el miedo que provocan en ciertos grupos las sesiones centradas en la familia origen; la comparación de este tipo de trabajos con loss de otros terapeutas intergeneracionales; etc.
A lo largo de las páginas de este volumen, el doctor Framo explica su método terapéutico con tal riqueza de detalles que el texto acaba convirtiéndose en un completísimo manual sobre la psicoterapia de la familia de origen. Paso a paso, con envidiable capacidad didáctica, el autor aplica su enfoque a una amplia gama de temas emocionales relacionados con problemas individuales, matrimoniales y familiares, y pone sobre la mesa, a la vez, las dificultades y limitaciones del método. De este modo, el objetivo del libro es explorar en profundidad implicaciones tanto teóricas como clínicas: situaciones más o menos sensibles a una intervención intergeneracional; el miedo que provocan en ciertos grupos las sesiones centradas en la familia-de-origen; la comparación de este tipo de trabajos con los de otros terapeutas intergeneracionales; etc. Además de los ilustrativos ejemplos proporcionados, sin embargo, lo más curioso y significativo del libro es la inclusión de la propia biografía familiar del autor como apoyo metodológico, una muestra de honestidad e integridad profesionales que, simultáneamente, clarifica de una vez para siempre la tan comentada relación entre la historia personal y el enfoque teórico de los terapeutas.

I was skeptical at first about this book and this method for Family Therapy. The main question I asked myself was "why would any one in therapy subject themselves to original family in the therapy sessions with them?" As I progressed through the book and learned about the rules, the do's and don'ts of this technique I became convinced that there are cases that might benefit from this technique. If there are deep seated unresolved issues between any individual and family of origin, those issues will play out in future life, specifically in any future relationships. This can be in the form of projection, control of a significant other, attachment problems due to fear of abandonment(i.e. an overly clingy significant other) etc. The important takeaways for me are: 1) be sure to find a competent and seasoned therapist. 2) be sure that you, as the client, are ready for this. This should never be pushed upon you until you feel comfortable with this. 3) Many times if there is a couple going through couples therapy a family of origin session usually does not include the significant other. 4) This technique will not work if all involved are not willing to lay all the cards out on the table. There should be no conspiratorial attitude in the session, no ganging up on a particular individual. 5) Expect there to be changes. Those changes may not be noticed immediately, but change will happen. We may not like the change that happens, but the important thing is being able to come to a final resolution and accepting the outcome. If you never felt loved by a parent, hopefully that will change, but it may not and be ready for that reality. I'm sure there are more things I could say, but if you're curious pick the book up and give it a read.

Interesting approach to family-based therapy, though you'll probably only enjoy it if you already study the field.
