| Abstract: | Cotherapy has become an accepted albeit sometimes controversial approach to group and family therapy. Though many differing views of cotherapy have been expressed, most authors have emphasized the need for a cooperative, open and flexible relationship between cotherapists as being essential to facilitating growth for clients. In this paper, a model for the understanding of the development of the cotherapy relationship is proposed. Both developmental fixations and modes for enhancement of this relationship are discussed with particular reference to family therapy. |
