    Contextual Family Therapy
    Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy

    • Effective family therapy must attend to


    family context especially to those dynamic
    and ethical connections – past, present,
    future – that bind families together
    The Structural Approach
    Salvador Minuchin
    • The individual’s symptoms are best understood
    as rooted in the context of family transaction
    patterns.
    – The family’s hierarchical organization
    – The wholeness of the family system
    – The interdependent functioning of its subsystems
    • The family boundaries are too diffuse to allow for
    individual autonomy.
    Strategic Approach
    Jay Haley
    • The therapist devices a strategy for
    solving the client’s present problems
    • Goals are clearly set
    • Therapy is carefully planned to achieve
    these goals
    Family Systems Theory

    unit, a network of interlocking
    relationships, best understood when

    When Therapy Helps

    • When clients have enough sense of self


    • When clients have enough distress to motivate
    them to change
    • When therapists are warm and empathetic
    • When client and therapist establish a good
    rapport
    • Hostile, negative clients are less likely to benefit
    When Therapy Harms
    • Bias on the therapist’s part because of gender,
    religion, or race
    • Coercion by the therapist to accept his/her
    advice
    • Coercion by the therapist to have sexual
    intimacy.
    Treatment termination

    • When family members:


    – Can complete transaction, check, ask
    – Can interpret hostility
    – Can see how others see them
    – Can see how they see themselves
    – Can disagree
    – Can make choices
    – Can learn through practice
    – Can give clear messages
    (Virginia Satir, 1967)
