Brief Strategic Family Therapy

Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT) is a therapeutic approach designed to address and resolve conflicts within families, particularly those involving youth. It focuses on understanding the family's dynamics and communication patterns to identify problems and create solutions. BSFT is typically short-term, aiming to produce quick, positive changes in relationships and behaviors. The therapist guides family members to work together, enhancing their problem-solving skills and strengthening connections. This method is especially effective for issues like substance abuse or behavioral problems in children and adolescents, promoting healthier family interactions and support systems.
