Abstract

Family Constellations, a therapeutic approach rooted in systemic psychotherapy, offers a novel method for exploring and healing intergenerational trauma and relational dynamics within families. This chapter examines the integration of Family Constellations into mental health care, emphasising its value as a complementary tool alongside conventional intervention. We delve into its relevance for older adults, demonstrating its potential to address issues such as loneliness, unresolved grief, and familial discord. By highlighting connections to nursing practice, emotional intelligence development, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) focused on health, well-being, and social cohesion, we present a holistic model that fosters healing, resilience, and community-centred care. The chapter discusses the evidence base, best practices, and case studies to illustrate practical applications and promote interdisciplinary collaboration.
