In this book we present a comprehensive view of a systemic approach
to working with families, initiated by Karl Tomm more than two
decades ago at the Calgary Family Therapy Centre in Canada. The
contributors of this edited book articulate the IPscope framework
as it was originally designed and its evolution over time. We
invite you, experienced professionals and new family therapists, to
join with us to explore some of the mysteries of human
relationships. While the focus on our explorations revolves around
clinical mental health problems and initiatives towards solutions,
the concepts are applicable in many domains of daily life. They
highlight the ways in which we, as persons, invite each other into
recurrent patterns of interaction that generate and maintain some
stability in our continuously changing relationships. The
stabilities arise when our invitations become coupled and can be
characterized as mutual; yet, they always remain transient. What is
of major significance is that these transient relational
stabilities can have major positive or negative effects in our
lives. Consequently, we could all potentially benefit from greater
awareness of the nature of these patterns, how particular patterns
arise, and how we might be able to influence them.
