E.Structural F Thera

Structural Family Therapy by S Minuchin works within the family system

QuestionAnswer
Founder Salvador Minuchin
Assumptions By seeing the family as a System and how Subsystems work within it, the therapist is able to note that the way family members work together is an indication of the degree of flexibility or rigidity that exists within the family Structure.
Goals To Restructure
Boundaries These are the rules of the family system and subsystems that determine who can participate in interactions and how they may proceed. Rigid and nonpermeable boundaries lead to disengaged families. Very permeable boundaries lead to enmeshed families.
Family Mapping This system of diagrams using symbols and lines allows the therapist to describe current ways that families relate, showing organizationally which subsystems contribute most to a problem.
Accommodation and Joining To understand how a family system operates and be in a better position to change it, the therapist will join the system and accommodate its way of interacting. Mimesis means imitating the style and content of a family’s communications.
Restructure The therapist uses several techniques to restructure the family system, including Enactment, Intensity, Changing boundaries, and reframing.
Enactment The therapist instructs the family to act out the conflict in the present rather than as reported to understand coalitions and thus make suggestions for change.
Intensity Changing the length of a family interaction can change the meaning of the message, thereby facilitating change. A family may work to draw out an interaction or repeat it.
Changing Boundaries A therapist may change the boundaries by unbalancing the structure. For instance, he may rearrange seating. Or he may agree with a particularly indecisive husband.
Reframing The therapist may wish to give a different explanation so that a constructive change can occur. An anorexic child is stubborn instead of sick.
