By examining some of the affordances and constraints of the online medium in relation to the use of triadic questioning, we set forth a number of the epistemological and ontological consequences of this move. We argue that online therapy has particular features of a dialogical approach and method. We then examine the concept of joint action, the nature of the conversational processes, and the utterance chains that seem to be more likely to emerge when working online. We posit that a major advantage of the move to online delivery of family therapy is the medium’s particular utility for generating more invitational, collaborative, and dialogical practices.</p>","PeriodicalId":51763,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"43 3","pages":"304-321"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43382866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The latter was completed by his daughter Margaret Bateson Mead, after the death of her father in 1980. In <i>Mind and Nature</i>, Bateson compares evolution with the nature of the mental process, concluding that there are patterns that connect thoughts, ideas, and the evolutionary process: they are systems made up of interacting parts that are organized based on relations of similarities or differences. This organization forms a unit (or mind) that has the capacity of responding to information in selfcorrecting ways. Later, in <i>Angels Fear</i>, he wonders about the way in which systems take care of that integrity, and why that is so important. Bateson & Bateson point out that on certain occasions communication is undesirable because it alters the nature of ideas and thus of history, threatening the integrity of the unit. On many occasions what we have learned in our own history and which is manifested in our responses, voices, rites, sacraments, routines and creative acts constitute <i>sacred</i> areas for our lives and therefore we learn not to touch, and keep them in the <i>unsaid</i>. This article reflects on how this understanding of the sacred can have important implications for psychotherapy. These ideas are illustrated with two psychotherapy stories.</p>","PeriodicalId":51763,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"43 3","pages":"356-367"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47052873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Intergenerational patterns of families responding to and navigating a terminal diagnosis are also considered. Language, the therapist’s own narrative and experience, familial and intergenerational experiences as well as meanings of life-threatening illness are explored. The concept of impending death as <i>haunting</i> is introduced and explored. Adding this ‘existential’ haunting into the formula allows us to consider that impending death offers as an opportunity to ‘unblock’ communication between and within families and at the same time to identify ‘blocked’ communication patterns, thus providing a deeper understanding through an elucidation of rifts between family members and/or developing unexpected possibilities for movement and reconciliation.</p>","PeriodicalId":51763,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"43 3","pages":"368-380"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42621190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is especially the case when it comes to the basic structure of the genogram. Other authors have added other lenses on top (e.g., the cultural genogram, the spirituality genogram, and many others), but very few have explored in depth the core assumptions of the circles and squares which make up a genogram. In this article, I engage with the genogram literature to suggest that these shapes lead the genogram session to proceed in a way which privileges gender identity ahead of all other social graces, through the process of deconstruction. I then consider if a model of genogram creation which uses a universal symbol and then refers to gender later through symbology might allow for greater flexibility and curiosity in genogram sessions. This idea is offered with the intention that practitioners will engage with this deconstruction of the genogram in a variety of different ways.</p>","PeriodicalId":51763,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"43 3","pages":"333-345"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49034695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
