What is Strategic Family Therapy?

Описание: Strategic family therapy combines two major therapeutic theories – strategic therapy and family therapy. Inside the safety of a therapy setting, strategic family therapists create scenarios in which the family must interact and converse. Each member of the family might have different things they need to work on, such as:
Communication Styles
Anger Management
Cultural Barriers
Emotional Intelligence
Empathy Training

While many different families can benefit from strategic family therapy, there are specific instances where this method is beneficial.

Families struggling with any of the following might consider Family Therapy:
Substance Abuse
Conflict-Driven Communication Patterns
Authoritarian Parenting Styles
Emotional Detachment


The criticized person feels controlled, which causes them to pull away and shut down. The critical partner feels frustrated and steps up the criticism, creating a vicious cycle. Children of alcoholics or drug addicts may be experiencing neglect or inconsistent parenting. Families with conflict-driven communication styles create conflict because they do not know how to resolve problems peacefully. Children who grow up under an authoritarian parenting style of “its my way or the highway” tend to have poor self-esteem or experience aggression or shyness. Children in emotionally detached households bottle up their feelings and have a hard time opening up to others, leading to a series of failed relationships. Strategic Family Therapy empowers a family to work together to encourage dialogs and engagement that uncovers problems inside a family structure.
