Individual psychological consulting in the context of family psychotherapy
(RESUME)

Situations when it is advisable to work individually with clients of the family consulting service are described. Psychological states when such approach is preferable, and some general and particular problem which may arise in the context of such work are described (among them: the client's responsibility, goals and means of the consultant's work, duration of contact, types of advice, etc.). The concept of the "open-ended consulting" is suggested where goals and means are not pre-determined but correspond, on the one hand, to the present state of the client and, on the other hand, to the degree of his responsibility and to his preparedness for change.
