This article aims to present the basic tenets of contextual therapy and its treatment goals, methodology, and theory of change. It provides an orientation for readers who are new to the approach and should serve as an updated frame of reference for readers already familiar with it. An important contribution of this article is that it clarifies the place of contextual therapy in the vast field of family therapy and dispels some common misunderstandings about the path of its founder, Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy (1920-2007). Additionally, it demonstrates why contextual therapy should be counted among the postmodern, collaborative approaches to family therapy, which contradicts the usual view that it belongs to the earlier modern models of family therapy. Furthermore, it shows that contextual therapy is well-equipped to incorporate the current and future contributions of human sciences and offers unique therapeutic resources to address the individual and relational consequences of injustices that should remain relevant for the foreseeable future.
本文旨在阐述情境疗法的基本宗旨及其治疗目标、方法和改变理论。它为初次接触该疗法的读者提供了一个入门指南，也应为已经熟悉该疗法的读者提供一个更新的参考框架。本文的一个重要贡献在于，它阐明了情境疗法在广阔的家庭治疗领域中的地位，并消除了一些关于其创始人伊万·博佐尔梅尼-纳吉（1920 - 2007）的常见误解。此外，它还论证了为何情境疗法应被视为后现代的、协作式的家庭治疗方法之一，这与通常认为它属于早期现代家庭治疗模式的观点相悖。再者，它表明情境疗法能够充分吸收人文科学当前及未来的贡献，并提供独特的治疗资源来应对不公正行为所带来的个体和关系层面的后果，而这些后果在可预见的未来仍将具有现实意义。
