Translator disclaimer

Cure of a family in therapy does not mean the eradication of family problems. Rather, it means the establishment of a healthy, functional system in which family members can solve problems with each other and will support each other solving problems in the world. Cure depends on the creation of an open living system, homeostatically balanced, that allows for fmaily members to have extensive interchange with the environment and that fosters each family member's complexity and differentiation over time.
