Minuchin's Structural Family Therapy

Minuchin's Structural Family Therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on how family members interact and organize their relationships. It views the family as a system with patterns of boundaries, roles, and hierarchies that influence behavior. The therapist works to identify and modify unhealthy interactions and structures, such as rigid or unclear boundaries, to promote healthier functioning. The goal is to strengthen family relationships, improve communication, and resolve conflicts by reshaping the family's underlying structure, creating a supportive environment where each member can thrive.
