Both texts addresses the issue of "Family Myth" or "narrative truth", referring to the account which identifies the person as part of the family, and that is an element of cohesion, identity, origin, and hierarchical organization among its members.

around these shared beliefs in whose name the family gets together, arm, according to the systemic framework, the total relational structure. I understand that if one is thinking in systemic terms will always find a larger structure that encompasses the sub-structures that shape it, and think therefore that there is a change in the structure above, will alter the whole order system. And this logic no fault, and is useful for understanding certain dynamics even unconscious.

However we can not, or at least something I can not fail to consider is the reference to "family Freudian Myth." There is a mythical story in the unconscious of each of the members of the family system, and you have to wonder about the relationship that may exist between the original myth and personal myths.

There are patients who give consistency to the weight of its history, making this a novel that closes off any possibility of subjective involvement. It is for those who come to the consultation with the certainty that his story, as the recount, this explains their woes. It is hard for entry into analysis because they displayed no doubts or questions, there is no hesitation on that story as crystallized. This explains its excessively about their past and what they tell, in fact, is not history but myth and the mythic narrative is seamless, without riddles, while the storytelling is full of mystery and ambiguity.

Hence the importance of permeable and flexible of these stories, and limits the fall.
