The paper presented here is quite possibly the first description of family therapy as a method of treatment where the whole family is seen consistently together. It was read at a meeting of the Eastern Psychological Association in Boston, April 24, 1953. At that time Dr. Bell was Associate Professor of Psychology and Director of the Psychological Clinic at Clark University, Worcester, Massachusetts. He is currently Program Director, NIMH, Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare, Region IX, San Francisco, California.
