Several good books exist about systemic understanding in therapy
and a few about dialogic understanding. However, none exist that
try to bridge the gap between these two world views, which have
some similarities, but also a whole array of differences. The most
striking difference between these two world views is the very
vantage point for observation each of them holds. According to
systemic theory, we exist only in and because of the network of
relationships we are embedded in. In dialogic theory, we inhabit
different worlds, and we need dialogue in order to make them
communicate with each other. Putting these different views together
poses problems but is a good dialogic exercise as well. The author
found it increasingly necessary to undertake this exercise as he
felt more and more uncomfortable with the more conventional
versions of Batesonian systemic wisdom he had adopted in previous
years, while at the same time he could not feel convinced by some
of the new ideas about dialogue.
