PREFACE PHILOSOPHY Therapeutic work with families is a recent scientific phenomenon but an ancient art. Throughout human history, designated persons in all cultures have helped couples and families cope, adjust, and grow. In the United States, the interest in assisting families within a healing context began in the 20th century and continues into the 21st. Family life has always been of interest, but because of economic, social, political, and spiritual val- ues, outsiders made little direct intervention, except for social work, into ways of helping family functioning until the 1950s. Now, there are literally thousands of professionals who focus their attention and skills on improving family dynamics and relationships. In examining how professionals work to assist families, the reader should keep in mind that there are as many ways of offering help as there are kinds of families. How- ever, the most widely recognized methods are counseling, therapy, educational enrich- ment, and prevention. The general umbrella term for remediation work with families is family therapy . This concept includes the type of work done by family professionals who identify themselves by different titles, including marriage and family therapists, licensed professional counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, psychiatric nurses, pastoral counselors, and clergy. Family therapy is not a perfect term; it is bandied about by a number of professional associations, such as the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), the American Counseling Association (ACA), the American Psychological Association (APA), and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW).

  • Structural Family Therapy
    CHAPTER 12 Structural Family Therapy She flips through a magazine on the blue-striped couch sometimes entertained but often bored, while he gulps down popcorn and televised football, feeling occasionally excited yet often empty. At midnight when the lights go off and the news of the day and the games are decided, She lays in anticipation, but without hope, of his touch while he tackles fullbacks in his sleep and ignores his needs and hers. Alone, they together form a couple, together, all alone, they long for a relationship. Gladding, 1991c CHAPTER OVERVIEW From reading this chapter, you will learn about ■ Why structural family therapy was created and the importance of boundaries and hierarchies in this approach. ■ The major theorists, premises, techniques, roles of the therapist, processes, and outcomes of structural family therapy. ■ The uniqueness of the structural family therapy approach. As you read, consider ■ What type of family boundaries and subsystems were most prevalent in your family of origin. ■ The feminist argument that structural family therapy promotes sexual stereotypes. ■ How comfortable you would be acting like a theater director if you were a structural family therapist. 297 298 Part 2 • Therapeutic Approaches to Working with Families tructural family therapy was initially based on the experiences of Salvador Minuchin and his colleagues at the Wiltwyck School, a residential facility in Esopus, New SYork, for inner-city delinquents. The treatment was created out of necessity. Long- term, passive, and historically based approaches to working with the families of these children proved unsuccessful ( Piercy, Sprenkle, & Wetchler, 1997 ). The active and often aggressive nature of family members at the Wiltwyck School and their tendencies to blame others and react immediately meant therapists had to be powerful and quick.

  • The Spiritual Approach to Systemic Family Therapies
    SPIRITUAL PSYCHOLOGY AND COUNSELING spiritualpc.net / 2020 Volume: 5 Number: 1 Original Article The Spiritual Approach to Systemic Family Therapies Hasan Kütük1 Ph.D. Candidate 1 Ph.D. Candidate, Marmara University, İstanbul, 34722, Turkey. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The concept of spirituality has started being included in therapy settings due to the new paradigms showing developments in the world of psychology in the late 20th century and in the 21st century. When examining the literature, many articles and books are seen to have been published related to the topic, and most of the studies have been carried out abroad. These performed studies have contributed new concepts and information to the literature by revealing how the concept of spirituality can be integrated with family therapies. This study has been prepared for the purposes of drawing the attention of researchers who conduct studies in Turkey based on systemic family therapy and of specialists who plan therapy sessions based the relevant theory to the topic and to provide the literature with a topic that finds no examples in the literature of Turkey. How the concept of spirituality can be used in harmony with the systemic family therapy approach and what the techniques of the spirituality-based systemic family therapy are have been prepared by being based on the many studies that have been published abroad. Before beginning the study, theoretical information and basic concepts primarily about systemic family therapies are provided, and then it moves on to spirituality-oriented systemic family therapy by briefly mentioning the concept of spirituality. How the concept of spirituality can be applied to systemic family therapy and the points and ethical situations to which counselors need to pay attention are also mentioned.
