Structural Family Therapy

Structural family therapy focuses on improving the interactions and dynamics between family members by enhancing communication, while also restructuring the family system to address elements that contribute to dysfunction. This restructuring can involve modifying family boundaries, power dynamics, and how family members respond to significant life changes. Structural family therapy is commonly utilized when families experience distress or tension during significant life changes, particularly in cases of parental or adolescent mental health conditions, divorce, blending families or death/illness in the family.
