Incorporating the value of an individual with the Systemic Approach and the Multi-generational
Perspective, Böszörményi-Nagy's Contextual Theory offers a unique explanation for the disturbing
phenomena of the inter-generational transmission of violence (both in Family and broader societal contexts)
through its main concepts of Trust, Loyalty, Justice, and Entitlement. Perhaps with further research and
development Böszörményi-Nagy's belief in suitability of his Contextual Approach for resolution of
international conflicts will become reality and the everlasting debates on the definition of basic yet crucial
for our wellbeing concepts of Justice and Fairness will come to the successful resolution both on Family and
Societal levels.
