Healing psychosis with family constellations

As a medical doctor I can say that psychosis cannot be cured by medicines or psychotherapy. Medicines are widely prescribed but they no inquiry has showed that they help and they even harm the possibility of healing.

With family constellations we see that the issue in psychosis is a family secret, often several generations back. It may have been a child that has another father as the official husband. Or a murder in the family. Or a child who has been abandoned.

If the secret is kept hidden, it remains in the family and is transferred to the next generations in a twisted form. Eventually someone becomes psychotic. It is not easy to access the family secret, not even in a family constellation, because the secret is carefully covered, to prevent people to be thrown out of the family. Shame and guilt are around it.

I see family constellations as necessary for the psychotic person and his or her family, as something which can eventually give healing, by bringing out the secret into the open. As Franz Ruppert describes it in his book: (English translation of the Dutch title:) 'the truth heals the delusion'.

I myself have experienced during the family constellations I have facilitated, how large the relief is for the psychotic person when things become clear and the family secret is revealed.
