Abstract: | In therapeutic work a systemic approach has characteristically focused on the family or marital system. In this paper the author focuses on the patient/health care system in a particular case and argues that chronic disability can be seen as a systemic feature rather than a characteristic of the individual patient. A strategy is taken from the field of international conflict and its therapeutic value is explored. |
