- Abstract
The article presents information on Gregory Bateson, founding father of family therapy. Gregory Bateson was one of the initiators of journal "Family Process" and served on board of directors from its launch in 1962 until 1970. His work inspired subsequent family therapy thinkers in postmodern theory, social constructionism, and second-order cybernetics and underpinned models that are used today. In Bateson's terms, a meaningful mentoring relationship begins as complementary and transforms to one that is symmetrical. But rather than an unhappy state of symmetrical escalation, a true relationship born in mentoring, develops ultimately to one of reciprocity, and a paying forward, with former mentee giving anew to yet the next generation.
