Systemic therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on understanding and addressing the dynamics within a group, such as a family or a couple. It views problems as arising from interactions and relationships rather than solely from individual issues. By exploring these connections, systemic therapy aims to improve communication and resolve conflicts.
In systemic therapy, therapists often engage with the entire group to identify patterns and behaviors that contribute to distress. Techniques may include role-playing and discussions that highlight how each member influences the others. This approach can lead to healthier relationships and a more supportive environment for all involved.
