Family Therapy

Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that addresses family dynamics, communication patterns, and relational conflicts, treating the family system as a whole rather than focusing on one individual. Family therapy is based on the premise that individual symptoms often reflect broader family system dysfunction, and changing family patterns can resolve individual problems more effectively than individual therapy alone. Major approaches include Structural Family Therapy (examining family organization, boundaries, and hierarchies), Strategic Family Therapy (identifying repetitive interaction patterns maintaining problems), Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT — attachment-based), Bowenian Theory (multigenerational patterns, differentiation of self), and Functional Family Therapy (evidence-based for at-risk youth).
