Abstract
Family Constellations is a therapeutic approach used to reveal and resolve family dynamics that may influence individual health. This chapter explores its application within healthcare, examining both its potential benefits and the ethical challenges it presents. Specifically, it focuses on issues related to patient consent, privacy, the role of cultural sensitivity, and the need for professional boundaries in clinical practice. Drawing on case studies and evidence-based practice, the chapter outlines best practices for incorporating Family Constellations responsibly and effectively into patient care. Strategies for practitioner training, safeguarding vulnerable populations, and aligning therapeutic goals with patient-centred care are discussed. The chapter concludes by proposing guidelines for ethical implementation, emphasising collaborative care models and continued professional reflection.
