ABSTRACT

Through the exploration of psychological motivation and the integration of family system arrangement content, this study explores the application of psychological motivation in Hellinger's family system arrangement. The common points of family system arrangement and traditional psychodynamic therapy in sexual drive, instinct theory and defense mechanism were found. The family system arrangement provides new insights into traditional psychodynamic therapy and can be used as an auxiliary method of psychotherapy. I hope to improve the public's acceptance and recognition of the family system arrangement. This study aims to develop and enhance the practical applicability of family constellations in practical applications.
