The Function of Family Therapy in Restoring Relationships
What Is Family Therapy and How Does It Work?
Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves two or more family members working with a trained therapist to address issues affecting their relationships. It helps families:
Improve communication
Resolve conflicts
Understand emotional dynamics
Support one another through difficult times
Unlike individual therapy, the focus here is not on one person, but on how the family interacts as a whole. The goal is to create healthier, more functional patterns of behavior that benefit everyone involved.
Common Issues Addressed in Family Therapy
Family therapy can be helpful in a wide range of situations, including:
Parent-child conflicts
Sibling rivalry
Divorce or separation
Substance abuse or addiction
Mental health conditions (e.g., depression, anxiety, trauma)
Grief or loss in the family
By bringing everyone together in a safe and structured space, therapy opens the door for honest expression and mutual understanding.
