RESUMO
Family therapists from 10 different countries (China, India, Israel including Palestinian citizens, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Spain, Turkey, Uganda, and the United Kingdom) describe systemic therapy in their contexts and current innovative work and challenges. They highlight the importance of family therapy continuing to cut across disciplines, the power of systems ideas in widely diverse settings and institutions (such as courts, HIV projects, working with people forced into exile), extensive new mental health initiatives (such as in Turkey and India), as well as the range of family therapy journals available (four alone in Spain). Many family therapy groups are collaborating across organizations (especially in Asia) and the article presents other ideas for connections such as a clearing house to inexpensively translate family therapy articles into other languages.

La familia es considerada como el contexto más importante en los diferentes estadios vitales del niño.

Este artículo considera los diferentes aspectos del enfoque sistemático, y explica como el rol de los padres, considerados habitualmente como informantes, en las terapias de sus hijos, se ha transformado en un rol más activo.
