Samenvatting
This chapter uses Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy’s contextual therapy framework to examine how sociocultural trauma impacts basic trust, relational fairness, and personal and family well-being and how to foster new strengths across generational legacies. The authors use a case example to describe how injustice related to totalitarianism, war, and accompanying hardships lead to violations of fairness in care and trust between family members, with future generations bearing the consequences. They illustrate how accessing relational resources can promote healing and relational fairness. Issues such as immigration, couple dynamics, parenting, interpersonal communication, and abuse are addressed with implications for practice.
