A concept called Family system Therapy, based on Murray Bowen's family sysyem theory, views a family as an emotional unit, and suggests that an individuals behavior is a result and inseparable from their family.
Family system therapies fall under different categories such as...
- Strategic family therapy, which examines a family's function. For example how they communicate with each other, or how they solve their family problems. It does this by evaluating the family's behavior outside of the therapy session.
- Structural family therapy looks at the relationships, behavior, and trends, inside the therapy session, in order to understand the functioning of the family.
- Intergenerational family therapy focuses its importance on the generational influences on the family and each individual of that family. When identifying these behavioral patterns from generations, it helps people to see that their problems has been intact within the family long before their current problem.
This us a very interesting finding to me and rooting from this I will like to know how a therapist would go about choosing a method to use? Would any of these three aspects be able to help in any situation?
