What is Family Therapy?
Family therapy is a type of psychotherapy that involves working with families to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. It recognizes that family members are interconnected, and issues affecting one member can impact the entire family system. The goal of family therapy is to create a supportive environment where family members can openly express their feelings and work together toward positive change.
How is Family Therapy Done?
Family therapy sessions typically involve all family members or a subset of them, guided by a trained therapist. Sessions can range from 50 to 90 minutes and may occur weekly or bi-weekly, depending on the family’s needs. The therapist uses various techniques to facilitate discussions, encourage participation, and address underlying issues. By focusing on patterns of behavior and communication, the therapist helps families develop healthier interactions and resolve conflicts constructively.
