摘要

威廉·尼科尔斯博士于2021年6月19日逝世,享年92岁。我将用2021年最后一期的一部分来纪念他,以及他对婚姻和家庭治疗领域的许多贡献。弗洛伦斯·卡斯洛医生写了一篇感人的个人颂词。我将重点介绍他的学术贡献,这些贡献是深刻而有影响力的。比尔在20世纪80年代是我们编辑部的成员;在他辉煌的职业生涯中,他担任过许多领导职务之一。正如Douglas Sprenkle所指出的:“这不仅是对他不知疲倦的职业道德的赞扬,也是对比尔在[家庭治疗]职业的各个层面上对人和问题的关注”(第23页,Everett & Lee, 2006)。我唯一一次见到比尔是在1995年,当时我去了乔治亚州亚特兰大的家庭工作室,那里是他的私人诊所。我是去见格斯·纳皮尔博士讨论博士预科实习的事。我很想在逗留期间见到比尔。克雷格·埃弗雷特(Craig Everett)是比尔的徒弟,后来也是我的导师,他分享了许多作为比尔的学生并最终成为他的合著者的故事。他们的书《系统家庭治疗:一种综合方法》(Nichols & Everett, 1986)是我对家庭治疗的介绍,并继续对我的临床工作、教学和监督产生重大影响。在与比尔的讨论中,我分享了我对叙事疗法的兴趣。我意识到比尔对融合的强调,不知道他是否认为我对叙事实践的投入是naïve。他没有挫伤我的热情,而是巧妙地将叙事理念与其他家庭治疗模式联系起来。即使在我们的非正式讨论中,他也一直是一位老师。比尔对家庭治疗的智力贡献将是他作为婚姻和家庭治疗历史学家的角色,并倡导理论整合,包括发展观点(Nichols et al., 2000)。当治疗师承诺对特定的想法和个人忠诚时,比尔提出了一个综合的概念,使治疗师能够根据客户和他们所呈现的问题的复杂性来定制他们的治疗(尼科尔斯,1988;Nichols & Everett, 1986)。Everett和Lee(2006)在他们的书《当婚姻失败时》中赞扬了比尔和他的重要工作。在书的前言中,格斯·纳皮尔描述了比尔对家庭治疗的综合方法:

Remembering William C. Nichols, PhD
William C. Nichols, PhD passed away on 19 June 2021 at the age of 92. I’m devoting part of this final issue of 2021 to honoring his memory and many contributions to the field of marriage and family therapy. Dr. Florence Kaslow has written a touching personal tribute. I will focus on his scholarly contributions, which are deep and impactful. Bill was a member of our editorial board in the 1980s; one of many leadership positions he held over the course of his stellar career. As Douglas Sprenkle noted: “This is not only a tribute to his indefatigable work ethic, but to Bill’s concern for people and issues at all levels of the [family therapy] profession” (p. xxiii, Everett & Lee, 2006). I met Bill for the only time in 1995 during a visit to The Family Workshop in Atlanta, GA, which housed his private practice. I was there to meet Dr. Gus Napier to discuss a predoctoral internship. I was keen to meet Bill during my stay. Craig Everett, a mentee of Bill’s and later a mentor to me, shared many stories of being Bill’s student and eventually his coauthor. Their book, Systemic Family Therapy: An Integrative Approach (Nichols & Everett, 1986), was my introduction to family therapy and continues to significantly influence my clinical work, teaching, and supervision. During my discussion with Bill, I shared my burgeoning interest in narrative therapy. I was aware of Bill’s emphasis on integration and wondered if he viewed my devotion to narrative practice as naïve. Rather than deflating my enthusiasm, he artfully drew connections between narrative ideas and other models of family therapy. He was always a teacher, even in our informal discussion. Bill’s intellectual contributions to family therapy will be his role as historian of marriage and family therapy and advocate for theory integration, including developmental perspectives (Nichols et al., 2000). At a time when therapists pledged loyalty to specific ideas and individuals, Bill presented a synthesis of concepts that would allow therapists to tailor their treatment to the client and the complexity of their presenting concerns (Nichols, 1988; Nichols & Everett, 1986). Everett and Lee (2006) paid tribute to Bill and his important work in their book When Marriages Fail. In the book’s forward, Gus Napier described Bill’s integrative approach to family therapy:
