Nine systemic psychotherapists present how they helped individuals and families face their problems and live a fulfilling life full of meaning and substance. Their narratives serve as a direct and authentic "document" of the therapeutic process - which does not focus solely on the client but also speaks about the therapist and, of course, their relationship.

The book you are holding reflects the theoretical positions, choices, and applications that govern both our educational and therapeutic work. Our goal was to share with readers the experience we have gained from our work with individuals and families, which is based on the systemic integrative model of psychotherapy that we follow.

Having realized over all these years that experiential knowledge is the one that is absorbed best, we wanted to offer the reading public a work that is not only based on theoretical placements but primarily narrates personal and family stories as conceived and composed by their therapists.
