This paper re‐examines the theory of logical types as it relates to family therapy. It examines the problems of Russell and Whitehead's original theory and the way in which it can provide an understanding of the nature of psychotherapy. Recent theoretical advances are discussed and some techniques specifically informed by the theory of logical types are discussed with reference to case material.
