MRI and Milan: Systemic Family Therapies Part I

Thanks for putting this class up, please record with the volume higher. You are helping me as are you helping hundreds of people. May God bless you in your every step.

Hi Dr. Gehart, thank you for the lectures! However, the volume/audio you recorded the videos in is really low and so I've had a hard time hearing them without headphones etc. even with the volume all the way up. Thanks again!

THANK YOU for putting these lectures online! I'm a student, working through your Mastering Competencies... book. I love how the book is organized, as well as the pp presentations. I'm a kenetic-auditory learner, so your lecture has brought all of this together in my mind.

Youre saving my life at school lol just the volume is very low.

This is pure gold. Thanks!

great job!! very thankfull!

47:57 For Milan Therapy

A brilliant workshop & academic lecture on Strategic Family Therapy. Can we have an elaborate series on Minushin's Structural model of Family Therapy?

Really clear and helpful overview and brilliantly succinct. I am a social work student at Royal Holloway, University of London who has just completed his MSc in Social Work. I thought I would revisit my lecture notes and came across your helpful lecture. Thank you very much.

This is an EXCELLENT lecture!

Very helpful for the students. Definitely I will encourage them to look for it.

This is great, however the volume is low.

I hope you can re record this lecture, as it is really difficult to hear!

Very informative. Thank you. From Sri Lanka.

I really don't understand the example (timestamp about: 43:00) given for the therapeutic double bind. The issue the wife had was that her husband isn't spontaneously romantic, so prescribing it as the therapist does absolutely nothing for her if he manages to come up with something "new" because he had been commanded (by the therapist) to do it. It's prescribed and therefore automatically not spontaneous. If he ends up doing what he's told NOT to do (i.e. use his wife's past suggestion of flowers), I think it highly unlikely the wife is going to be able to see that as him doing it "uncommanded" and therefore make it seem spontaneous because: 1.) He is commanded to do something, 2). His wife had commanded the flowers before, 3.) He was told NOT to give flowers and he's giving flowers, which shows how little thought he is again putting in. So this example makes zero sense to me; it's not a win-win at all; the therapist is falling into the trap of repeating the SAME FAILED SOLUTION. Instead, they need to discuss how they show love and understand the meanings behind how they show and receive love. Or discuss whether this is a deal-breaker for their relationship if he's just never going to be spontaneous. Ask if there are other ways of showing love they'd be willing to work on, or is this the only way? If this is the only way, what does the husband need to allow his spontaneity to come through: Breathing room? No commands/requests for a while? Appreciation instead of criticism for attempts even if they're imperfect? Etc. Discuss with the wife how every command/suggestion she makes is shooting herself in the foot because she's limiting what she can see from him as "spontaneous" with each request. So discuss with her how to ask for what she needs without that; find other ways she can cope and communicate. Doesn't that make more sense than this double-bind thing? Or is this example just way off on how it's supposed to be used?
