Introduction to the theoretical foundations of systemic therapy

Systemic therapy arose as an independent method of psychotherapy in the early 1980s during the development of family therapy. But its methods and techniques are also used by other therapeutic schools in different fields.
Kurt Ludewwig belongs to the first generation of systemic therapists and is the author of many fundamental work in this area. In this book, the history and basic principles of systemic therapy are clearly and available. Initially, the author describes biological, scientific, sociological and theoretical backgrounds of systemic thinking. In the second part of the book, the basics of system work in therapeutic practice are presented. This book is of great interest in the wide range of reader audience, since Kurt Ludewwig with the help of the integration of theory and its own rich practical experience presented not only the historical review and theoretical basis of all system directions, but also a magnificent tool for therapy. This is a source for a theoretical acquaintance with the new scientific thinking of the 21st century, and the most valuable guide for practice, both for psychotherapy specialists (and specialists of other "helping professions"), and for their clients, which the book will give reliable benchmarks in the psychotherapeutic space
