Abstract (English): The worldwide coronavirus (COVID‐19) has had profound effects on all aspects of life: physical health, the ability to travel locally or to more distant destinations, material and financial resources, and psychosocial wellbeing. Couples, families, and communities and individual persons in those relationships have struggled to cope with emerging depression, anxiety, and trauma, and the rise of relational conflict. In this article, we suggest that the existential nature of the pandemic's challenges requires more than just the usual psychosocial interventions. We propose a taxonomy of responses to foster coping and resilience—"Reaching Up, Down, In, and Around." "Reaching Up" includes accessing spiritual, religious, and ethical values. "Reaching Down" includes ideas and practices that foster a revised relationship with the Earth and its resources, and that engage families to participate in activities that aid the Earth's recovery from decades of human‐caused damage. "Reaching In" represents a turn towards experiences available in the mind and in shared minds in relationships that provide pleasure, excitement, joy, and peace, given that external sources of these emotions are of limited availability due to quarantine. "Reaching Around" involves reframing the mandate for "social distancing" as fostering social connection and support while maintaining physical distancing. The challenges for family therapists, whose practices are confined largely to online therapy, and who are struggling with the same fears and constraints as those persons they are attempting to help, are also discussed.

Abstract (Spanish): RESUMEN: El coronavirus (la COVID‐19) mundial ha tenido efectos profundos en todos los aspectos de la vida: en la salud física, en la posibilidad de viajar a nivel local o a destinos más distantes, en los recursos materiales y económicos y en el bienestar psicosocial. Las parejas, las familias, las comunidades y las personas individuales de esas relaciones se han esforzado para hacer frente a la depresión, la ansiedad y el trauma emergentes, y al aumento del conflicto relacional. En este artículo, sugerimos que la índole existencial de las dificultades de la pandemia necesita más que solo las intervenciones psicosociales habituales. Proponemos una taxonomía de respuestas para fomentar el afrontamiento y la resiliencia: "Llegar arriba, abajo, adentro y alrededor". "Llegar arriba" implica acceder a valores espirituales, religiosos y éticos. "Llegar abajo" implica ideas y prácticas que fomenten una relación revisada con la Tierra y sus recursos, y que capten la atención de las familias para participar en actividades que ayuden a la recuperación de la Tierra de décadas de daño causado por los humanos. "Llegar adentro" representa un giro hacia experiencias que hay en la mente y entre mentes por relaciones que brindan placer, entusiasmo, alegría y paz, dado que la disponibilidad de las fuentes externas de estas emociones es limitada debido a la cuarentena. "Llegar alrededor" implica replantear la orden de "distanciamiento social" como fomento de la conexión social y el apoyo mientras se mantiene la distancia física. También se explican las dificultades para los terapeutas familiares, cuyas prácticas están limitadas en gran medida a la terapia en línea, y quienes están luchando contra los mismos miedos y limitaciones que esas personas a quienes intentan ayudar.

Abstract (Chinese): 摘要: 全球范围内冠状病毒(COVID‐19)对生活的所有方面都产生了深远影响:身体健康、当地的旅行或去往更遥远目的地的旅行能力、物质和财政资源以及心理社会方面的福祉。夫妻、家庭、社区和个人等各种关系中的人们都在努力应对较之以前有所增加的新出现的抑郁、焦虑、创伤和关系冲突。在这篇文章中,我们提出与大流行病随之而来的挑战其存在的本质要求的不再仅仅是平常的心理社会干预。我们提出了一种培养应对能力和复原力的分类应对措施——"向上、向下、向内和向周围求助"。"向上"包括获得精神、宗教和伦理价值。"向下"包括促进与地球及其资源的一种新型关系的思想和实践,以及让家庭参与帮助地球从几十年人为破坏中恢复的活动中来。"向内"代表着一种转向,转向在内心上和在人际关系中给大家提供快乐、兴奋、快乐和平静的经验,因为这些情绪其外部来源由于隔离变得有限。"向周围求助"包括重新定义"社会距离"的禁足令,即在保持身体距离的同时,培养社会联系和支持。家庭治疗师的实践大多局限于在线治疗,他们与那些他们试图帮助的人一样,也在与同样的恐惧和约束作斗争,本文也讨论了他们面临的挑战。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
