Family Systems Therapy Techniques
When the family dynamic has issues, each member of the family can suffer. Getting to the root of the problems means helping each member of the family realize how their actions affect the dynamic of the group as a whole. Therapy techniques to improve family systems begin with exploring family history, personalities, emotions, behaviors, and coping mechanisms but end with addressing the patterns of interaction within the family system. With therapy, families can begin to fortify their relationships and learn to be supportive of one another.
Family Systems Therapy Theory
The family systems therapy techniques were first developed in the 1950s, and this approach to therapy provides effective treatment in family counseling today. To understand the thoughts, feelings, and behavior of individual family members, the family dynamic is examined as a whole system. Therapists use this modality to identify dysfunctional behavior patterns, issues in communication, and power struggles. Together, your family and therapist can work to replace problematic patterns of behavior with positive ones.
