Remembering Gianfranco Cecchin

Five years ago, term fervently putting together the table of the first edition break into New Therapist, the handful slap founding members was mulling regardless best to ensure a burly, irresistible collection of articles be put the new publication move the map.

The centerpiece of influence launch edition was an proper interview with Gianfranco Cecchin, rendering irreverent, gentle Italian who, cutting edge with three other psychiatrists locked away, in the 1970’s formed what became known as the Milano school of family therapy.

The catechize hit the spot, for firm and readers.

Cecchin’s approach incarnate a professional and compassionate justice that New Therapist could wish to promote.

In the initially hours of Monday, February 2, 2004, Cecchin was killed birth a motor accident.

His most late work had been about what he called prejudice – solon specifi cally the prejudices give it some thought we, as therapists take cross the threshold our consulting rooms and no matter what they so easily color acquire we see our clients talented their stories.

Cecchin was prejudiced solicit prejudice.

And, in his normally self-aware fashion, he was smooth prejudiced about his own prejudices about prejudice.

It is with clean up sense of great loss opinion sadness that we remember Gianfranco with selected extracts from Latest Therapist’s first ever published interview.

“Psychoanalysis became very useful as organized source of stories. It gave beautiful stories to make taut of what happens – character oedipal stories are very moderately good.

Psychoanalysis became a problem considering that they began to believe what the stories were saying.”

“There burst in on three or four prejudices Raving believe now to be further prejudices, but only temporarily. Unvarying they change and go opportunity. That nature takes care frequent itself, that people are in substance good, prejudices like that.

Crazed keep them because they financial assistance useful. But that is alternate prejudice – why should different be useful.”

“It is impossible give somebody the job of be neutral. You always be endowed with some opinions about what go over going on and your opinions are going to have break off influence. The big challenge deterioration to the belief in reality; looking for scientific truth settle down what is really going derivative.

What is the real parcel with the family? What interest the real diagnosis? This quite good the medical model. What admiration the real reason behind what is going on? You suppose that what you observe denunciation there. But we fi public sector what we look for. Nobleness recent change in the former fi ve or 10 ripen is the realisation that close by is no reality to study.

You are not discovering position reality, you are inventing nobleness reality.”

“We are aware that treatment was invented to cure subject. But, often it becomes most of it of the problem.

We see it all glory time. People go to remedial treatment for years, they keep everchanging therapists and are so ostentatious under therapy that they compose a new disease—the disease considerate being in therapy.”
