Systemic Family Therapy

Systemic family therapy views problems as arising from dysfunctional family interactions rather than pathologies within individuals. Therapists intervene by joining and restructuring family relationships to change patterns of communication and problem-solving. The goal is to help families develop new ways of interacting that promote well-being for all family members.
