N2  - The family has been considered, according to the different angles from which research has been conducted, as an anthropological reality; as an institutional segment; as an etiopathogenetic nucleus; as a communicative environment. The family, taken as a highly complex (open-closed) system, is by now a common conception not only among family therapists, but also for those concerned--from a transcultural point of view--with individual and family dynamics in connection with extra-familial dynamics in a society in constant and rapid transformation. The therapists must be able to contribute to a reconstruction of the interactive dynamics of the family network, stimulating the contribution that each member may make to reparative, and at the same time creative, development. In the various family typologies the model of a therapeutic network flexibly based on cultural identification may be introduced.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
