Prompt Post #6: Evaluating Sources

According to the article "marriage and family therapist", marriage and family therapy is a very effective type of treatment in the mental health literature. I agree with this argument because according to research, family therapy has been linked to positive outcomes in individual and family functioning. From my findings, treatment is most effective when combining medication and counseling sessions. When patients are treated with only medication, you are only treating the surface and symptoms of their conditions, not finding the root of the problem. This is ineffective because when their is a lack of medication the patient will repeat their actions until they actually understand the problem. When only having counseling sessions with a patient is time consuming and hard to get quick  results. Marriage and family therapy allows an individual to realize their problem and condition, except it, and then find ways to improve their self. This helps them to abandon their unexpected behavior or habits and improve their overall health and life, making this an affective treatment
