Family therapy is specifically designed for the family as a unit, to help its members learn how specific issues affect the dynamic and functioning of the family as a whole and how to navigate situations that bring imbalance to the relationship between members of that family. The family becomes our patient, the family as a larger unit.
Family therapy teaches you skills to address conflict with other members of the family. It also serves as a mediation tool when communication between the parties involved has become impossible. This is achieved by exploring underlying concerns that exist within the family and creating and establishing a plan that meets the needs of each and every family member.
Family System
Problem resolution is a collective approach - what happens to one member of a family happens to everyone
in the family. Each family member must learn to better understand other members of the family and see
how their own actions affect the family unit.
