“…Nevertheless they are primarily drawn as passive recipients into family scripts rather than being an active co-author together with their parents, neglecting the full and equal agency of the child in the parent-child relationship. Similar non-agentic and linear ideas can be found in the contextual theory of Boszormenyi-Nagy (Boszormenyi-Nagy & Krasner, 1987). The theory states that if adults were neglected by their parents, they are entitled to be neglectful in relationships with their children because they did not receive care themselves and behaving otherwise would be disloyal to their parents.…”

“…This is in particular true for those family therapists, who are considered to fall into the category of transgenerational family therapy (Carr, 2000), including Bowen family systems therapy (Bowen, 1978), contextual therapy (Boszormenyi-Nagy & Krasner, 1987;Boszormenyi-Nagy & Spark, 1973), and more recently different attachment-based family and couple therapies (Byng-Hall, 1995;Greenberg & Johnson, 1988). Despite some differences, they all highlight the key role of formative early experiences in the family of origin in predisposing people to developing current life problems.…”

“…Despite some differences, they all highlight the key role of formative early experiences in the family of origin in predisposing people to developing current life problems. Problems are seen as multi-generational phenomena caused by, for example, a lack of differentiation in the family of origin (Bowen, 1978), an imbalance of fairness within generations (Boszormenyi-Nagy & Krasner, 1987), unmet attachment needs for safety, security and satisfaction (Greenberg & Johnson, 1988), or being recruited in a specific family script (Byng-Hall, 1995).…”

Traditional approaches to the study of parent-child relationships view intergenerational transmission as a top-down phenomenon in which parents transfer their values, beliefs, and practices to their children. Furthermore, the focus of these unidirectional approaches regarding children's internalisation processes is on continuity or the transmission of similar values, beliefs, and practices from parents to children. Analogous unidirectional perspectives have also influenced the domain of family therapy. In this paper a cognitive-bidirectional and dialectical model of dynamics in parent-child relationships is discussed in which the focus is on continual creation of novel meanings and not just reproduction of old ones in the bidirectional transmission processes between parents and children. Parents and children are addressed as full and equally agents in their interdependent relationship, while these relational dynamics are embedded within culture. This cultural context complicates bidirectional transmission influences in the parent-child relationship as both parents and children are influenced by many other contexts. Further, current research in the domain of parent-child relationships and current concepts of intergenerational transmission in family therapy are reviewed from a bidirectional cognitive-dialectical perspective.

“…In deze theoriee¨n wordt aangenomen dat het gezin het individu beı¨nvloedt en het individu het gezin. Een van de meest invloedrijke gezinssysteemtheoriee¨n waarin dergelijke wederkerige verbanden worden verondersteld is de contextuele theorie van Boszormenyi-Nagy (Boszormenyi-Nagy & Framo, 1985;Boszormenyi-Nagy & Krasner, 1986;Boszormenyi-Nagy & Spark, 1984;Boszormenyi-Nagy & Ulrich, 1981). Volgens Boszormenyi-Nagy is er sprake van een voortdurende dynamische interactie tussen psychopathologie van het individu en stoornissen op het niveau van het gezinssysteem (Boszormenyi-Nagy & Spark, 1984).…”

“…Er zijn verschillende theorieën over de manier waarop kinderen omgaan met een vader en een stiefvader. De loyaliteitstheorie (Boszormenyi-Nagy & Krasner, 1986) stelt dat het voor de ontwikkeling van kinderen van belang is dat kinderen loyaliteit naar de ouders toe kunnen erkennen. Volgens deze theorie kan een kind dat loyaliteitsgevoelens naar de vader moet onderdrukken, bijvoorbeeld door de aanwezigheid van een stiefvader, last krijgen van schuldgevoelens die indirect het welbevinden van het kind negatief beïnvloeden.…”
