The way families organise their living space is an indicator of family relationships. The physical shape and organisation of houses, flats and dwellings of all kinds are not ‘unchanging natural phenomena’, they are historical, cultural, economic and family constructions. Therapists, like families, ‘do not see that they do not see’ (von Foerster, 1994). They are partly ‘blind’. This becomes apparent when a therapist asks a family to draw the plan of their house. The therapeutic task illuminates the organisation of family bonds, and provides insight into the causes of family suffering. A clinical example is given.
