Abstract: | This paper presents three concepts developed within the context of a project to study and conduct network therapy. The concepts discussed are: (1) the need for balance in participant composition, specifically in terms of support systems for core members, and the participant levels of affective involvement; (2) the therapeutic use of polarization of the network members against the therapist; and (3) the shared leadership role within the team of therapists. Case illustrations are included to demonstrate the concepts presented; and other areas for future study are suggested. |
