Why this matters here
Salvador Minuchin’s Families and Family Therapy develops structural family therapy: symptomatic patterns are maintained through complementary roles and recursive interactions, so “the same fight” is often a system property rather than a single person’s fixed intent. How Meaning Moves uses that systemic view for intimate archives—each retelling favors some details, drops others, and reorganizes what the next round will treat as the event. Minuchin’s clinic is family structure; the book’s inference is about how meaning solidifies across returns to unfinished talk.
