Il pentagramma relazionale. Le forme vitali nella psicoterapia familiare e di coppia

[Machine translation] The encounter between minds in the therapy room is a rich and complex phenomenon. The authors of this book aim to bring out a new way of conceiving the relational clinic, focusing on vital forms, the musical dimension of the therapeutic relationship, the rhythmicity of interpersonal exchanges, the generative and dynamic function of the intersubjective field, the therapist's style. The goal is to connect the paradigm of intersubjectivity to the vital forms theorized by Daniel Stern, a fruitful and innovative concept in its transposition to family and couple settings., In this journey, a fundamental role is given to musical activity and singing, extraordinary accelerators of spaces of intersubjectivity. Through a reflection on the characteristics of music most suited to the psychotherapeutic setting, the authors argue that joint singing represents the royal path to bring out and transform vital forms into therapy. This leads to the Relational Singing Model, a model of ensemble musical activity created to promote relationship and communication and now proposed in family therapy. Through the illustration of the intervention protocol, including the analysis of the musical structures actually used, it will be possible to understand in vivo the transformative potential of an approach centered on vital forms.
