What is Structural Therapy?

Introduction to Structural Family Therapy (SFT)

Structural Family Therapy (SFT) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the family structure and its organization, aiming to address problems within the family system. Therapists using this approach pay close attention to the interactions, boundaries, and hierarchies within the family unit.

Application in Individual, Couples, and Family Therapy

In individual therapy, SFT helps clients understand how their family dynamics impact their current challenges. Therapists work with clients to identify and modify dysfunctional patterns of interaction, promoting healthier ways of relating and coping.

In couples therapy, SFT explores the relational dynamics between partners, aiming to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen the bond between them. Therapists help couples identify and challenge destructive patterns, fostering a more harmonious and supportive relationship.

In family therapy, SFT examines the family system as a whole, exploring the roles, rules, and power structures that influence behavior and communication. Therapists collaborate with family members to restructure dysfunctional patterns, creating a more balanced and cohesive family dynamic.
