This article introduces the formation of the ideology and theory of systemic therapy by the German systemic family therapist Stierlin. He believes that human relations are a complex dialectical relationship between separation and reconciliation. Family therapy stresses on viewing things from a systemic perspective, that places people and their symptoms in the context of a big system in the surroundings to observe and treat. In addition, this article reviews the development and influence of the family delegation theory, as well as the relationship between Stierlin and the Chinese-German Advanced Continuous Training Project for Psychotherapy. Respect for intergenerational inheritance in family and family culture and customs not only brings family changes but also balances the beauty of art.
