Abstract

Systemic models of couple and family therapy (CFT) are often categorized into two transtheoretical paradigms: modernism and postmodernism. Traditionally, these paradigms have been positioned in opposition to one another and are critiqued for their respective epistemologies and stances on the definitions of truth and reality. The binarizing of systemic models has created theoretical divisions in the field of CFT that restricts many clinicians from addressing the limitations and harnessing the benefits of each transtheoretical paradigm. Metamodernism, a philosophical paradigm that emphasizes theoretical pluralism, reflexivity, and dialectical processes, has arisen as a potential solution for addressing the philosophical tensions between modernism and postmodernism; however, there currently exists no approach to systemic therapy that aligns with the tenets of this paradigm. This article delineates the application of metamodernism in the field of systemic therapy through the presentation of Dynamic Narrative Therapy, an innovative approach to systemic therapy drawn from the integration of two foundational theoretical models (i.e., strategic family therapy and narrative family therapy). This integration synergizes the strategic concepts of circular causality and feedback loops as well as the narrative use of deconstruction, externalization, and narrative metaphor to illustrate a more comprehensive approach to the therapeutic change.

动态叙事疗法：叙事与策略性家庭疗法的元现代融合

摘要夫妻和家庭治疗（CFT）的系统模式通常被分为两种跨理论范式：现代主义和后现代主义。传统上，这两种范式相互对立，并因各自的认识论以及对真理和现实定义的立场而受到批评。系统模型的二元化在心理创伤治疗领域造成了理论上的分裂，限制了许多临床医生解决每种跨理论范式的局限性并利用其优势。元现代主义是一种强调理论多元化、反身性和辩证过程的哲学范式，它的出现为解决现代主义和后现代主义之间的哲学矛盾提供了一种潜在的解决方案；然而，目前还没有一种系统疗法方法与这一范式的宗旨相一致。本文通过介绍 "动态叙事疗法"（Dynamic Narrative Therapy），阐述了元现代主义在系统疗法领域的应用。"动态叙事疗法 "是一种创新的系统疗法方法，它融合了两个基础理论模型（即策略性家庭疗法和叙事性家庭疗法）。这种整合协同了循环因果关系和反馈回路的策略性概念，以及解构、外化和叙事隐喻的叙事性使用，以说明一种更全面的治疗变化方法。
