Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy involving all members of a family, sometimes including extended family members like grandparents. Through multiple sessions, the therapist aims to address critical issues that impact the family's functioning and home environment.
The therapy's primary objective is to enhance family members' communication skills, facilitate problem-solving, foster understanding, and provide tools to handle challenging family situations. These situations may include coping with death, managing serious physical or mental illnesses, addressing child and adolescent issues, or navigating divorce. Ultimately, family therapy aims to create a healthier and more supportive home environment.
