FAMILY THERAPY IN PERSONALITY DISORDERS: DOUBTS AND POSSIBILITIES

There are many reasons for family therapy of personality disorders to be controversial. The individual diagnosis may be - as seen from the systemic therapist point of view - a non-justified de-contextualization. On the other hand, the interest of systemic therapists in other approaches, including these which have their sources in individual diagnosis, is being observed. This phenomenon enables to include into the systemic model, not only the narrative approach but also others based on the social constructionism, and these, which appeal to the intrapsychic dimension. The authors present the practical difficulties and the possibilities of overcoming them, basing on their own experience in family therapy with patients with personality disorders.
