Structural Family Therapy
Structural Family Therapy is a therapeutic approach developed by Salvador Minuchin that focuses on the organization and interactions within a family. It emphasizes the importance of understanding family structures, roles, and boundaries to identify and address issues. The therapist works to restructure these dynamics, helping families communicate more effectively and resolve conflicts.
In this therapy, the therapist often observes family interactions and may engage in role-playing to highlight dysfunctional patterns. By modifying these interactions, families can develop healthier relationships and improve overall functioning. The goal is to create a more balanced family system that supports individual and collective well-being.
