心理学空间.E8EY;]!b EdJim's death will not end his passionate relationship with the family
therapy field. Jim will continue to be important for new generations of
serious family therapy students not only for how his work provides a
framework and method for families to deeply heal but also as a reminder
of all of our own unfinished business with our own family of origins
which drove many of us to pursue the study of family therapy.心理学空间1l9a"e!Nc;}

;nJ;Y uf'hc0Jim's passion about family therapy not only came from him feeling of
frustration and disappointment at never having had a heart to heart
healing dialog with his father before his father died but also from his
war experiences in the army in World War II. Jim participated in over
300 days of combat with the 88thDivision , 913thField Artillery Battalion in the Italian campaign. He never forgot the
craziness of war and the memories of the men who died in his platoon.
Thus, Jim understood death quite personally at an early age and
continued to have other personal family encounters with death which, I
believe, lit a fire in his heart for people to deal directly with others
in their lives before it was too late. In this way, Jim was an
existentialist who deeply believed in encountering life completely with
meaning and purpose especially with honoring and coming to terms with
our own histories.

y[-y3c0心理学空间gg!|8vDJim was a well respected theoretician in the field of family therapy.
He wrote a classic paper in 1970 entitled, "Symptoms from a
Transactional Viewpoint" which integrates Fairbairn's and Henry Dicks
object relations theory with family systems concepts. This paper has
been used as required reading in many family training programs
throughout the world. All of Jim's theoretical work can be found in his
book (1982),Explorations in Marital and Family Therapy: Selected
