Structural Therapy

Structure: The focus of structural therapy is to coordinate and strengthen home systems to ensure parental control, with appropriate boundaries for both children and adults. With this form of treatment, therapists "join" families to observe, learn and improve their ability to help strengthen relationships with their families. Systematic: The system model refers to the type of treatment focused on unintentional communication and the meaning behind family behavior. As therapists of such treatments are neutral and far away, families can deepen their understanding of problems as members of the family.

Structural family therapy (SFT) is a psychotherapeutic approach that addresses the problem of home-based functions developed by Salvador Minotin. A structured family therapist should enter or "join" family system treatment, understand intangible rules to manage its function, map relationships between families or family subsets, and ultimately within families We try to weaken the irregularity of. Stabilize in a healthier mode. Minuchin believes that the pathology is in the family system, not the individual.

Structural family therapy designed by Salvador Minuchin has studied family relations, behavior and patterns shown during treatment to evaluate the structure of the family. The therapist uses role playing activities in the conversation and checks subsystems within family structures such as parents and sibling subsystems. Strategic family therapy developed by Jay Haley, Milton Erickson, and Cloe Madanes examines families processes and functions such as communication patterns and problem solving by evaluating family behavior outside the treatment period. Treatment may include reconstructing or redefining the scenario in question or using conflicting interventions (eg suggesting that the family act against the therapeutic goal) I will. A strategic family therapist thinks that change may occur quickly without thoroughly analyzing the root cause of the problem
