Strategic Family Therapy

Strategic Family Therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and changing patterns of interaction within families that contribute to dysfunction. It emphasizes practical strategies and interventions to resolve specific problems, often by altering dysfunctional communication and behavior patterns. Therapists work with families to set clear goals and create solutions, sometimes using paradoxical interventions that may seem counterintuitive but aim to shift perspectives. This approach values the family's strengths and resources, fostering collaboration to achieve positive change in relationships and family dynamics.
