What "family" is this? Link, bonds, and intersubjectivity in online family therapy

Abstract

This article addresses the course of a therapeutic process with a family which received online therapy during the Covid-19 pandemic. The family dynamics—in terms of how they entered treatment and the transformations that occurred during the process—are discussed from the perspective of link or bond configurations and intersubjective relations. As a result of treatment, their symbolisation began to improve, signalling increased understanding of the foundations of familial conflicts and functioning dynamics. The benefits of family therapy are highlighted.
