The article describes a process of couple consultation conducted in co-therapy according to a relational systemic approach.
The presented intervention allows proposing some broad considerations regarding the peculiar characteristics of clinical work addressed to the marital couple.
The relationship of the couple protagonist of the clinical process, consisting of Julia and John, has lasted for about thirty years. When they come to the consultation, they are the bearers of a couple's suffering that suggests that, having reached the current stage of the family life cycle, they confront with the need to give up the old version of their bond, which has now become a difficult place to inhabit. Opening up to this possibility, will mean for them to try to untie those knots that have kept them entangled over the years and find new and more satisfying relational positions for each other.
