Description
Description:
It has been 50 years since General Systems Theory revolutionized psychotherapy. Yet it never became a real science, and the therapies it produced were either never evaluated or, when studied, produced only weak effects. We can now scientifically complete general systems theory and show that the new theory does result in highly effective couples and family therapy.
Educational Objectives:
- List the new scientific definition of homeostasis in a couple’s relationship.
- List the parameters and forces that create change in couples therapy.
- Describe how systems theory can be extended to couples when as baby arrives.
