In this article we illustrate how trainers and trainees negotiate epistemic and deontic authority within systemic family therapy training. Adult education principles and postmodern imperatives have challenged trainers’ and trainees’ asymmetries regarding knowledge (epistemics) and power (deontics), normatively implicated by the institutional training setting. Up-to-date, we lack insight into how trainers and trainees negotiate epistemic and deontic rights in naturally occurring dialog within training. Drawing from discursive psychology and conversation analysis, we present an analysis of eight transcribed, videotaped training seminars from a systemic family therapy training program, featuring three trainers and eleven trainees. Our analysis highlights the dilemmatic ways in which participants resist and affirm the normatively implicated trainers’ deontic and epistemic authority. Trainers are shown as mitigating directives and trainees as resisting them, with both displaying (not)knowing, while attending to concerns about (a)symmetry. We discuss our findings’ implications for systemic family therapy training.

Introduction: Marital satisfaction is one of the most important signs of a favorable relationship between couples. This research aimed to survey the effectiveness of training using Bowen's family therapy approach on marital satisfaction of married women in the city of Aligodarz (In the west of Iran). Method: This study was a quasiexperi mental study using a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population consisted of counseling applicant married women in the city of Aligodarz in 2019. By convenience sampling, 30 married women were selected and participated in this study. After recording the subjects' scores in the pre-test stage, the experimental group was exposed to the intervention (training course), but no operations were performed on the control group. Data gathering was carried out using a demographic questionnaire and ENRICH marital satisfaction scale. Frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation indices were used to describe and Chi-square test was used to examine the homogeneity of the two groups in terms of study variables and multivariate analysis of covariance were performed in SPSS 24 software with a significancel level of 5%. Results: Descriptive findings showed that the mean (standard deviation) of the total score of the marital satisfaction variable in the pre-test and post-test stages was 131.60 (26.89) and 142.81 (25.24) in the experimental group and 132.66 (24.09) and 132.26 (21.92) in the control group, respectively. The inferential findings showed that Bowen's family therapy approach has a significant effect on some of the dimensions of marital satisfaction (religious orientation, equality of women and men, children and parenting, sexual relation, financial management, conflict resolution, and marital satisfaction) (p< 0.05). On the other hand, this approach was not practical in improving other aspects of marital satisfaction (relationship with family and friends, leisure time, marital relationship, personality issues, and contractual responses) (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The present study results showed an increase in marital satisfaction of married women using the Bowen family therapy approach. Therefore, it is recommended to use Bowen's family therapy approach to improve women's marital satisfaction with family problems.

AbstractAnorexia nervosa-focussed family therapy (FT-AN) is the first-line treatment for adolescent anorexia nervosa (AN), but the predictors of poor treatment response are not well understood. The main aim of this study was to investigate the role of attachment and mentalization in predicting treatment outcome. The secondary aims of the study were to investigate therapeutic alliance at 1 month as a predictor of outcome, and to test the associations between alliance and baseline attachment and mentalization. 192 adolescents with AN and their parents were recruited as they began family therapy in out-patient specialist eating disorder services. Self-report measures of attachment, mentalization, and emotion regulation were completed at the start of treatment by adolescent patients and one of their parents. Self-reported alliance scores were collected at one month. Higher scores on the Certainty Scale of the Reflective Functioning Questionnaire, completed by parents, which indicate over-certainty about mental states, were the strongest predictor of poor outcome (Odds Ratio: 0.42, CI: 0.20–0.87). Similarly, for adolescents, higher Lack of Clarity scores on the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, representing being unclear about one’s feelings, were predictive of positive treatment outcome (OR: 1.10, CI: 1.00–1.21). Higher alliance scores at 1 month predicted positive outcome, and were associated with attachment security and mentalization. These novel findings suggest that, particularly in parents, a tendency towards excessive certainty about mental states in others may predict poor outcome in FT-AN. Further research is warranted to replicate the finding and characterise families at risk of poor outcome.

Resumo O referido artigo tem como tema a Biblioterapia (OUAKNIN, 1996) enquanto processo Transdisciplinar na Educação. A pesquisa qualitativa se constitui no campo das teorias do conhecimento da Educação, da Terapia familiar na Escola (GROISMAN, 2015), da Biblioterapia (OUAKNIN, 1996) e da Leitura Compartilhada (LOIS, 2010) enquanto formação de leitores, pelo princípio da Inter e transdisciplinaridade (SANTOMÉ,1998, NICOLESCU, 2001, PARODE, 2010). O objetivo da pesquisa é ressaltar a importância da Biblioterapia enquanto processo transdisciplinar na educação, da Terapia de Familia e da Leitura compartilhada, para compreender como transita a indisciplina e o não letramento em espaços escolares, e como esses podem influenciar no desenvolvimento cognitivo e comportamental de uma criança, de um adolescente, que faz parte também, de um complexo Sistema Familiar (MINUCHIN, 2009). A pesquisa se desenvolveu em uma Escola Estadual de Ensino Fundamental e Médio, na cidade de Porto Alegre, sendo que, foi realizado estudo de caso com duas famílias, com três pessoas de cada família (aluno, pai e mãe). A pesquisa utilizou-se dos registros escritos, com entrevistas e genetogramas (BOWEN, 1994). Para análise dos dados e a preservação da identidade dos participantes da pesquisa, os dois casos foram identificados como F1 e F2. A metodologia empregada ressalta a importância do método descritivo na construção de uma Educação Inter e Transdisciplinar, da formação a partir das diversas formas de conhecimento, como a Biblioterapia, a Leitura Compartilhada, sendo que a Terapia de Família nos levou a encontrar, também, nas relações afetivas, respostas para as indagações sobre como reverter à indisciplina e o não letramento. Palavras-chave: Biblioterapia; terapia familiar na escola; educação inter transdisciplinar; leitura compartilhada; formação do leitor. Abstract This article has its theme Bibliotherapy (OUAKNIN, 1996) as a Transdisciplinary process in Education. Qualitative research constitutes the field of knowledge theories of Education, Family Therapy at School (GROISMAN, 2015), Bibliotherapy (OUAKNIN, 1996) and Shared Reading (LOIS, 2010) as reader training, by inter and transdisciplinary perspectives (SANTOMÉ, 1998, NICOLESCU, 2001, PARODE, 2010). The objective of the research is to emphasize the importance of Bibliotherapy as a transdisciplinary process in education, Family Therapy and Shared Reading, in order to understand how indiscipline and non-literacy transits in school spaces, and how these can influence cognitive and behavioral development of a child, a young adolescent who is also part of a complex Family System (MINUCHIN, 2009). In this context, the research was developed in a State Elementary and High School, in the city of Porto Alegre, by a qualitative approach, as a case study with two families. The subjects directly involved in the research are in the number of three people (student, father and mother) by family. The research was also based on written records, with declarations, interviews and genetograms (BOWEN, 1994). For data analysis and preservation of the research participants´ identity, the two cases were identified as F1 and F2. The methodology used emphasizes the importance of the method described in the construction of an Inter and Transdisciplinary Education, of training from different forms of knowledge, such as Bibliotherapy, Shared Reading, and Family Therapy. The training from different forms of knowledge led us to find, also, in the affective relationships, answers to questions about how to revert to indiscipline and non-literacy. Keywords: Bibliotherapy; family therapy at school; inter-transdisciplinary education; shared reading; reader training.                                                                                  Resumen Este artículo tiene como tema la Biblioterapia (OUAKNIN, 1996) como un proceso transdisciplinario en educación. La investigación cualitativa se constituye en el campo de las teorías del conocimiento en Educación, Terapia Familiar en la Escuela (GROISMAN, 2015), Biblioterapia (OUAKNIN, 1996) y Lectura Compartida (LOIS, 2010) mientras se forma a los lectores, basados ​​en el principio de inter y transdisciplinariedad (SANTOMÉ, 1998, NICOLESCU, 2001, PARODE, 2010). El objetivo de la investigación es enfatizar la importancia de la Biblioterapia como un proceso transdisciplinario en la educación, Terapia Familiar y Lectura Compartida, para comprender cómo transitan la indisciplina y la no alfabetización en los espacios escolares, y cómo estos pueden influir en la cognición y el comportamiento de un niño o de un adolescente, que también forma parte de un Sistema Familiar complejo (MINUCHIN, 2009). La investigación se desarrolló en una escuela estatal de enseñanza primaria y secundaria, en la ciudad de Porto Alegre, y se realizó un estudio de caso con dos familias, con tres personas de cada familia (alumno, padre y madre). La investigación utilizó registros escritos, entrevistas y genetogramas (BOWEN, 1994). Para el análisis de datos y la preservación de la identidad de los participantes, los dos casos se identificaron como F1 y F2. La metodología utilizada enfatiza la importancia del método descriptivo en la construcción de una educación inter y transdisciplinar, de formación desde diferentes formas de conocimiento, como la Biblioterapia y la Lectura Compartida. Además, la Terapia Familiar nos llevó a encontrar, en las relaciones afectivas, respuestas a preguntas sobre cómo combatir la indisciplina y el analfabetismo.
