Therapeutic Approaches For Families
Family Systems Therapy
This approach views the family as a complex system with interconnected parts, emphasizing how each family member's behaviour and emotions can impact the overall family dynamic. Therapists work to identify and address patterns of interaction, facilitating positive changes in the entire family system.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative therapy focuses on the stories families tell about themselves and their experiences. Therapists help families reframe and reconstruct narratives, empowering them to view challenges as separate from their identity and promoting a more constructive understanding of their shared history.
Structural Family Therapy
In this approach, therapists examine and modify the family structure, including roles, boundaries, and hierarchies. The goal is to create a more functional and adaptive family structure by addressing power dynamics and improving communication patterns among family members.
