With him, we have lost not only an important fi gure for our association but also a truly admired person. H aving been active in the European Family Therapy Network that gave birth to EFTA, he followed enthusiastically his conviction that family therapy is due to gain an accurate place in the health policies of Europe - his commitment to these values is apparent in his chapter in this volume. His leading role in the fi eld of family therapy was recognised all over Europe and his tireless activity, combined with his radiant personality, aroused the admiration and feelings of friendship in all who knew him. He stays in our hearts and will always be a part of our conjoint memories. W e dedicate the fi rst volume of the EFTA Book Series to Luigi Onnis with all our respect.
