Therapist confidences: Marc D'Hondt

I had the immense pleasure of meeting Marc D’Hondt at his home in Belgium. A systemic family therapist, trainer and founder of the Village Systémique, Marc lets us benefit from all his experience, his sensitivity and his finesse.

He talks in particular about his path and his inspirations, from Jacques Pluymaekers to Mony Elkaïm, by way of Guy Hardy and Geneviève Platteau.

He also discusses his practice, coloured by the intelligent use of the floating objects he knows so well, and offers his advice to the young generations of therapists, with humility and humanity.

Morphogenesis describes how new forms emerge. Applied to families and organisations, it invites us to create the conditions for reorganisation rather than correct a symptom.
