strategic therapy
Strategic therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on solving specific problems by developing practical strategies. It often involves identifying patterns in behavior and communication that contribute to the issue at hand. The therapist works collaboratively with the client to create actionable steps aimed at achieving desired outcomes.
This approach is typically brief and goal-oriented, emphasizing the importance of change in the client's life. Techniques may include reframing thoughts, setting clear goals, and using interventions that encourage new behaviors. Strategic therapy is often associated with the work of Jay Haley and the MRI (Mental Research Institute) model.
