Abstract
An attempt is made to move from the previously described notion of homeostasis and the symptomatic distance regulator, to a more coherently systemic one, based on the work of Maturana and Dell. Maturana's concept of structure‐determinism is used to explain how individuals who have consensually shared fears of being either too close or too distant in relationships to others become structurally coupled in such a way that a highly resonant system emerges that regulates itself in a way that is coherent with the structure‐determined beliefs of the individual family members. These belief systems are seen as vital ingredients in understanding the process of structural coupling.
