Salvador Minuchin’s structural family theory is a systems theory upholding that therapy must address the person as a part of the family‚ versus just looking at the individual. We better understand Minuchin’s theory when it is framed within the principles of Ludwig von Bertalanffy’s general systems theory‚ the premise on which all other systems theories are based.

He proposed that a system is characterized by the interactions of its
