Abstract

In the case that follows, the film The Karate Kid was used to help an eleven year old boy and his family distinguish between aggression and assertion and learn about the related issues of discipline, obedience, control and balance. The film provided a therapeutic metaphor which bypassed the restraints operating within the family system. Presented here is an outline of the steps in therapy including pre‐session information gathering and hypothesis formulation, an analysis of restraints in the family using the cybernetic model, and a description of how these were interwoven with the metaphor of the film to create a powerful therapeutic intervention.
