Abstract

This account traces the development of family systems thinking from early pioneering thinking and practices, through the development of institutions and professional definitions, and through challenges to family systems thinking and practice from the biomedical points of view. Throughout there is a strong conviction that "thinking family" is an essential core of effective mental health treatment, because families can heal.
