Minuchin

Salvador Minuchin was a pioneering family therapist who developed structural family therapy. He believed that family problems stem from disrupted or overly rigid or chaotic family structures. Minuchin's approach focuses on understanding the organization of family relationships and boundaries, and actively reshaping them to improve interaction and support healthier functioning. Techniques include family mapping and techniques to realign roles and boundaries. His work emphasizes that modifying family interactions can lead to positive changes in individual members’ behavior and emotional well-being.
