Sažetak
"Average" psychiatric patient and members of his family are more often oriented to "hard" than "soft" reality. The first one is referred to as "concrete and obviously defined reality", the second meaning psychic, empirical, social, interpersonal or interactional reality. Bateson used to speak about relational reality. We have been using the family sculpture technique in our practice for several years, as a relatively simple instrument for shifting focus of our patients from the somatic level to the individual psychological, and especially relational and systemic levels. Horizontal and vertical structure of a family, as well as non-verbal aspects of its communication appear to be more obvious when demonstrated by this metaphoric means. This technique san be applied in the conText of a widened therapeutic community, as well as with the single family.
