Der postmoderne Zeitgeist ist davon geprägt, dass übergreifende Ideologien und weitgespannte Konzepte keinen Gültigkeitsanspruch mehr haben – das gilt auch für die Vorstellungen von Familie: Was ist eine richtige Familie? Wer gehört dazu? Welche Familienformen fördern Entwicklung, welche nicht? Gleichzeitig erscheint die Sehnsucht nach Familie tief in unsere Herzen verwurzelt, wir lassen uns vom Mythos der Idealfamilie betören. Dieses Spannungsverhältnis zwischen faktischer familiärer Vielfalt und auch Fragmentierung einerseits sowie der Wunsch nach der heilen, ja heil machenden Familie andererseits stellt die psychotherapeutische Praxis immer wieder vor große Herausforderungen. In diesem Band werden diese Herausforderungen in einführenden Beiträgen familiensoziologisch und -politisch, kultur- und geisteswissenschaftlich sowie familientherapeutisch betrachtet. Sie werden zudem vor dem Hintergrund folgender Themenbereiche beleuchtet: –die Familie im Zeitalter ihrer technischen Reproduzierbarkeit; –Kinder psychisch kranker Eltern; –Multikulturalität und Familie; –Kinder in familiengerichtlichen Verfahren; –Familien in Psychotherapie – Strategien und Konzepte aus vier Blickwinkeln. Ein abschließender fiktionaler Beitrag eines Familienfestes im Sommer des Jahres 2020 rundet das Buch ab.

How to combine empirical evidence and systemic theory? What does systemic research have to show for its efforts? Renowned systemic proponents present in this volume the state of the art.Systemic approaches are well known from the fields of social work, psychotherapy, organizational development, coaching and supervision. Nevertheless, the time has come to lay the cornerstone for its own research paradigm. This handbook is the answer to that quest: Renowned systemic researchers present for the first time in German the theoretical basics as well as overviews of the research fields, methods and approaches presently in use.
