C. G. Jung, founder of Analytical Psychology, has had a major influence on 20th century thinking and on psychotherapists in particular. Gregory Bateson's ideas have similarly found a wide and influential application, but family therapists in particular have made use of his concepts to begin the construction of a theory of family therapy. The relationship between the individual and the system does not surprise us, but the interface between individual psychotherapy and family therapy is seldom addressed.
