Editors Introduction

Systemic thinking is a way of understanding our being in the world, from the big questions to the small choices we make together. Therapy and therapeutic processes are also part of our being in the world together. The different chapters will explore how systemic perspectives, as they are presented in the various practice contexts of the authors, can promote hope by giving room for reflections on uncertainty, change, opportunities, interconnections and differences. Furthermore, the chapters will illuminate the ways that systemic theory makes space for a multiplicity of varying approaches that address the needs of all of us in the different settings where we live our lives and maybe seek therapy.
