[The centenary of Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy's birth (1920-2007). The roots of contextual therapy].

Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy, the founder of the contextual therapy was born on 19th May 1920. None of the psychotherapeutic models deal with the transgenerational relationships, nor do they address the issue of trustworthi - ness, relational obligations and consequences other than the contextual therapy. Its goal is the restoration and the prevention through strengthening the resources of care, concern and connection. This goal is accomplished by multi - directed partiality, which is one of the most important therapeutic attitude and dialogic methods. The paper addresses the significance of contextual approach and its historical antecedents.
