Family is one of the most complex psychological social and emotional system that may exist amongst human relations – with its most constructive and destructive existence. The heathy family and romantic relationships give the most support that is needed in life for maintaining the physical and mental health and immune system. They grant a stable point of direction, support and strengthen against the external social world, and they grow our self-esteem and ability to cope. The halt and disfunction of romantic and family relationships may result in severe psychological consequences that can affect other relations too, and also the psychical and mental health of the individual. The tensions in relations may manifest openly but often indirectively too, even in the form a sympton, may it be physical or mental. In these cases, it is important to have a look at our relational system, map the family structure, attachments and communication patterns, the transgenerational models and, based on these, going back, spading down and finding the reasons of the symptoms, the halt of communication and the dissolving of balance. The reconstruction and development may start from this point.
