Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on improving the communication and dynamics within a family system. It involves working with the entire family, rather than just one individual, to address emotional and relational issues. The goal of family therapy is to resolve conflicts, improve understanding and empathy among family members, and promote healthy functioning within the family unit. It can be helpful in addressing a wide range of issues, such as marital problems, parent-child conflicts, substance abuse, mental health issues, and behavioral problems in children. Family therapists often use a combination of techniques and approaches, including systems theory, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and experiential techniques to help families achieve their therapeutic goals.
