Family therapy involves parents meeting with one or more children to help improve their interactions and resolve conflicts and unhealthy patterns of relating. Sometimes one member of the family is struggling with a life controlling problem and the whole family is impacted. Family therapy is a way for parents to regain focus and shift priorities quickly. A family crisis or a major change like becoming a blended family will precipitate a need to address the impact on both a global basis and on an individual basis, which family therapy can accomplish. Family therapy is often short term. Combining family therapy with individual therapy can enhance the results for the family.
