Download or read book Invisible Loyalties written by Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1984. This book was written in order to share the authors’ experience as family therapists not only with professionals but with families. We live in an age of anxiety, fear of violence and questioning of fundamental values. Confidence in traditional values is being challenged. Waves of prejudice seem to endanger our trust in one another and our loyalty to society. The strength of family relations or their effect on individuals is extremely difficult to measure. The authors of this book believe that observable changes in the family do not necessarily alter the member to- member impact of family relationships. Invisible loyalty commitments to one's family follow paradoxical laws: The martyr who doesn't let other family members work off their guilt is a far more powerfully controlling force than the loud, demanding bully. The manifestly rebellious or delinquent child may actually be the most loyal member of a family.

Download or read book Revitalizing Relationships written by Catherine Du Commun-Nagy and published by African Sun Media. This book was released on 2023-06-22 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For contextual therapists, contextually oriented pastoral counselors and their students, this is a longawaited textbook on the approach founded by Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy, one of the pioneers of family therapy which has been updated with a new terminology and new explanations in a highly understandable language. For readers coming from the field of individual therapy, couple and family therapy of any school, and for practitioners in the field of health and human services, this book can open new ways of thinking and new strategies to address many of the situations they are likely to encounter. The book offers answers to questions such as: How to help children and families who have been affected by the multigenerational consequences of relational and systemic injustices or by violence? How to help teens who display antisocial behaviors to re-engage positively in society? How to help individuals to balance their loyalty to their family with their own personal aspirations? How to help groups to discover that group loyalty does not have to be an obstacle to intergroup solidarity? In addition, in a format never tried before, this book includes a discussion of the contributions of contextual therapy to practical theology and the pastoral process. It also shows the relevance of the approach for interreligious studies and interfaith encounters in a world that is increasingly diverse and polarized. Conversely, it spells out what contextual therapists and other practitioners can learn from these fields. Professionals who abide by secularism or adhere to non‑Christian religious and spiritual practices may be taken by surprise but they will quickly discover that this book and the inspiration offered by the pastoral process and interfaith studies for the revitalization of relationships can bring a lot to any reader who believes in shared universal human values.
