Family Positive Dynamic Psychotherapy: A Practical Guide

The book covers the main theoretical and practical issues of modern family psychology and various approaches to family psychotherapy. It presents the author's concept of "family space" as a combination of family: structure, history, and commitments. For the first time in the context of relationship psychology, the basic concepts of the positive cluster of psychotherapies, cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic and existential approaches are integrated, facilitated by the optics of the Russian philosophical school (S.L. Frank, P.A. Florensky, M.K. Mamardashvili, etc.). The practical part contains a wealth of original material: a detailed description of the already bestselling family psychotherapy techniques: "Family Crest," "Tree of Character," "Love Story," as well as a number of psychodiagnostic techniques. The chapter dedicated to Vedic psychotherapy shows the living connection between the ancient tradition and modern theoretical and applied psychology of relationships.

This book is intended for practicing psychotherapists, psychologists, social work specialists, educators, graduate students, and students studying in these fields.
