Rodzina – jak pomagać skutecznie? Uwagi psychologa o poradnictwie rodzinnym
Gulla, Bożena (Wydawnictwo Naukowe Papieskiej Akademii Teologicznej w Krakowie, 2006)
Discussing the complexity of family life, the article points to a necessity of good theoretical and practical preparation and deep ethical reflection of people who help family not only through professional family therapy, but also through family counselling, social activity and tutorial work with children and youth. Highlighting problems and difficulties connected with a deeply felt need to help family requires adopting an approach which recognizes family as a complex and complicated organism. A family which asks for help is a sick family, where interference is needed but must be performed with extreme caution, responsibility and professionalism so that the family gets efficient help and is not harmed in any way. Family counselling, which can be called the “first diagnostic treatment” and sometimes the beginning of a professional family therapy, might be the first step for a family to activate all resources, overcome a crisis and step on a path to development, giving its members both a feeling of security and support and belief in itself and courage to explore the world.
