Understanding Family Therapy: Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on improving the relationships and interactions within a family unit. It recognizes the family as an interconnected system, where the behavior of one member impacts the others. Application and Scope of Family Therapy: This approach is often used to address issues such as parent-child conflicts, sibling rivalry, divorce, loss, or challenges related to mental health or substance abuse. Family therapy aims to enhance understanding, create harmony, and resolve conflicts by fostering open communication and mutual support. What to Expect in Family Therapy Sessions: Family therapy sessions involve multiple family members working together with a therapist to explore their relationships and dynamics. Through guided discussions and exercises, families identify patterns that may contribute to tension and work collaboratively to improve them. The goal is to promote healthy interactions, strengthen bonds, and empower each member to contribute positively to the family system.
