Abstract
- This paper presents an analysis of Euripides' Iphigenia in Aulis from an integrative perspective that examines both the systemic relationships within the royal family and the individual psychodynamics of each member. The play has special relevance to the father-daughter dynamic in contemporary family-owned businesses. Two case studies illustrate modern day examples of the sacrifice of the daughter for the "good" of the family business. The second case study describes the healing of the daughter's wound through the use of Comprehensive Family Therapy, which involves the synergistic use of individual, marital, and family therapy principles and techniques. In the approach, the practitioner utilizes a theoretical model of optimal family process in the family- owned business, which is useful for assessment and goal-setting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
