PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING & PSYCHOTHERAPY

Systemic family psychotherapy is a psychotherapeutic approach that views the family as a dynamic, ever-evolving system, where individual behavioral patterns are largely shaped by the system to which a person belongs. The connection between an individual’s psychological state and the state of their family has been recognized since the early days of family therapy in the 1940s. While the field has undergone significant modifications since then, its core focus on the interdependence of family members remains highly relevant today. This approach considers the cultural, socio-economic, and political context of clients, incorporating an analysis of power dynamics both in society and within the family itself.
