Family psychotherapy
The family is considered a whole, and during family psychotherapy, an individual's problem is examined within the context of the family, as each person is a part of the family system. The family therapist works with the entire family during therapy.
Family psychotherapy is used to assess, understand, diagnose, and correct problems within the family system. Psychotherapy helps family members change their interactions with each other and become more adaptive. It also aids in improving communication among family members and helps release them from psychological and somatic symptoms.
With the help of family psychotherapy, it is possible to change entrenched roles or behavioral patterns, thereby strengthening marital or partner relationships. Family psychotherapy can also assist in overcoming crisis situations.
