Couples and Family Therapy
Current research has shown that couple and family based therapies, such as, Family Psychoeducation, Multi-Family Group Therapy, Behavioral Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy, are as effective and in some cases the most effective treatment approaches for severe mental illness and persons with medical conditions.
These approaches are particularly effective for clients struggling with Depression, Substance Abuse, Alcoholism, Marital Problems, Schizophrenia, Diabetes, Asthma, Cystic Fibrosis, Cancer, and other chronic conditions.
"Treating complex psychiatric conditions within the context of the family system is an essential part of the healing process."
These approaches address the systemic nature of the problem by addressing dysfunctional interactions and communication patterns, attachment injuries, issues of enabling and codependency, and the transmission of problems across generations. Clients and their family experience improved well-being, fewer medical illnesses, decreased medical care, increased self-efficacy, and overall improved social support among others.
