Family Therapy with an Anecdote:

―Consideration Toward "Therapeutic-bind"―

Abstract

　We have turned our attention to therapeutic system in the case that therapist treated the family with an anecdote or a metaphor. And we have regarded it as the available indicator for therapy to change the context of therapeutic system, in order to keep the confusion of family resisting against change to the minimum. There is the higher therapeutic possibility that family system goes to change spontaneously, if therapist could present an anecdote to the scene of session.

　In this paper, we examin the effect about treatment when therapist uses an anecdote in order to make a change. Then we call it "therapeutic-bind" such a moving of therapeutic system as don't allow to keep equiblium of family, and we attempt to define this new concept.
