Family consultation

Among the leaders for reasons of treatment are psychological problems in the family and child-parent relations. Family psychotherapy is the work of a psychotherapist with the whole family or some of its members in order to identify and eliminate existing psychological problems. It is worth mentioning at once that it is not just about interpersonal conflicts (quarrels between spouses, misunderstandings between parents and teenagers, difficulties in raising adopted children). It is often necessary to call for sessions and consultations of close relatives of a person suffering from a serious disorder in order to help him overcome the disease.
The main goal of family psychotherapy is to correct interpersonal relationships within the family, aimed at eliminating emotional disorders that are pronounced in one of its members or several at once.

Main directions and tasks:

​

•  identify the conflict and its participants;

•  change the family's perception of the current conflict situation;

•  the transformation of the views from the individual to the system-collective;

•  establish relationships between different groups of relatives and in General;

•  create alternative conflict resolution models to give everyone a choice;

• increase tolerance, especially in relation to a sick or simply problematic relative;

• build new hierarchical relationships;

•  teach the family to independently find resources for resolving conflict situations and successfully solve them on their own, without attracting help from outside;

• eliminate dysfunctional behavioral patterns that stretch back to childhood;

• reveal secrets, establish trusting relationships.

​

If the conflict concerns only two members of the family, the work is usually carried out only in this pair and the task is to normalize their relations with each other. In this case, we recommend that you contact a pair psychologist. If you think that a few consultations are not enough, then you can take a course of family therapy.
