Family Therapy
Family Therapy is a clinical approach that aims at activating the resources in the family in dealing with their relational difficulties.
Family Therapists are trained in systemic, or relational, therapy and believe that throughout life we live in a number of relationships that directly and indirectly impact our well-being. Our relationships with family, relatives, friends, colleagues, and peers influence and create our individual experience. Research and theory have shown that mental illness and family problems are best treated in the context of relationships.
家庭治療
家庭治療是心理治療的其中一個臨床專業,以探索及處理整個家庭的關係及系統, 去了解許多孩子、青少年以及成年人的行為與情感問題。
婚姻及家庭治療師專注於從人與人之間的互動中,尋找一些線索、去解構千絲萬縷的關係及當中的傷痕。從家庭成員的互動中,看到每個人的情感需要,也看到各人的困難及傷痛。如果能把問題,不集中以個人的問題作出發點,而能顧及到人與人之間的互相影響、關係的變化,對當事人及家庭各成員,可以嘗試從一個新的角度,發掘家庭資源,重新領會及體現大家的關係及需要,以致各人可以互相支持,建立更正面的連結。
事實上,臨床工作及研究證實,家庭治療對精神健康相關問題及關係困擾,有顯著的成效。
