About
Mara Selvini Palazzoli (1916–1999) was an Italian psychiatrist and founder in 1971, with Gianfranco Cecchin, Luigi Boscolo and Giuliana Prata, of the systemic and constructivist approach to family therapy which became known as the Milan family systems approach and more generally, the school of systemic family therapy. They were variously called the Milan Team or the Milan Associates. Mara Selvini Palazzoli and the Milan Team worked with serious psychiatric disorders in families with anorexic (see her book on Self-Starvation: From Individual to Family Therapy in the Treatment of Anorexia Nervosa, 1978) and schizophrenic members (see the original Milan Team's volume, Paradox and Counterparadox: A New Model in the Therapy of the Family in Schizophrenic Transaction, 1978; and a later team's work called, Family Games: General Models of Psychotic Processes in the Family, 1989).
