DEF

Notion introduite par Salvador Minuchin décrivant la facilité et l'intensité des réactions émotives qui lient entre eux les membres d'une même famille. Il en résulte un mode d'interaction très particulier où seules les prises de position et les réactions conformes aux intérêts de l'ensemble du système sont reconnues et même encouragées.
