Intergenerational Family Theory and Therapy (IFTT) is a useful model for developing effective therapeutic interventions in pastoral counseling. The theoretical work of Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy concerning dialectic, loyalty and justice is evaluated and criticized. He studies the family system from an existential perspective and integrates obligations to and responsibility for intergenerational loyalty commitments. Case presentations are used to show how one pastoral therapist used IFTT from a Christian perspective. Recognizing loyalty as the backbone of a family system, the pastoral counselor defines a family's understanding of loyalty obligations and constructs a framework which encourages psychological, emotional, and spiritual loyalty commitments to surface and be integrated in a healthy, relational context. Understanding justice can help a pastoral counselor pray for a family's unresolved injustices. Forgiveness and reconciliation can work toward reciprocal accountability and responsibility to guide family growth and health.
