Once upon a time, therapy involved lying
on a couch before a bearded fellow who sighed and said, "I wonder
why you said that." Therapy today is a viable option for constructing
real solutions to real problems.
What is family therapy?
Unlike other approaches to mental health and psychology, family
therapy focuses on the interpersonal relationship of the members
of a system called a family. Changing the system involves bringing the
whole family together at times and attempting to make changes to reduce
misery and distress.
Participation in family therapy does not suggest that something serious
is wrong with a family. The family therapist serves as an agent to deal
with simple adjustments or a system in misery. The therapy that is
interpersonal is different from the therapy that is individual.
Hundreds if not thousands of researchers and therapists are clarifying
the cause of family distress and what to do about it.
In his work on families and the family
life cycle, Dr Fadel has written about the dynamics between husbands
and wives. "Husbands & Wives +++," In Khalil Fadels Clinic
you will discover how family therapy can help couples, younger children
and teenagers. Learn about the ideas and theory behind family therapy,
and read about how the family life cycle affects therapy.
