[Psychodynamic and family dynamic aspects of puberty crises].

Within the framework of psychotherapy with youth, family therapy occupied a significant part of entire therapy concept. While working with youth one is always confronted with the problem of differential diagnosis i. e. whether it is a "Phase-specific Problem" or an adolescent crisis or one must interpret symptoms as morbid pathological development requiring the help of physician or psychotherapist. However one should be aware of the danger of hastily tabelling a diagnosis on one side and minimising the importance of symptoms on the other side. In our opinion the physician or therapist runs a great risk of failure in therapy when he concentrates only on the problems of child and tries to solve them through medicaments of hospitalisation. The best possible chance of success lies in directing his attention and therapy towards the whole family. When therapist intends helping the parents he should set as a bridge between the generations and convince parents accept the inevitable growing up their children into adulthood.

Chaotic family dynamics.

This article illustrates the basic features of chaotic systems and demonstrates some of the differences between chaotic and nonchaotic systems. To facilitate the explanation of advanced mathematical ideas, this presentation is couched in terms of the interactions within two families: the Limit family and the Scroll family. A nonchaotic model of the Limit family leads to repetitive sequences of affection and hostility between husband and wife. The Scroll family model demonstrates the dynamics of a truly chaotic system; it leads to alternating episodes of mutual endearment and mutual aversion between mother and daughter. Problems of measurement that would accompany the use of these models are mentioned.
