Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves identifying the issues within a family and figuring out realistic ways to manage them with the help of a professional. This is beneficial for all types of family-like nuclear, joint, extended, and many more.
The family therapist acts as a moderator between the family members and helps them identify & reflect upon the dysfunctional patterns prevailing within the family. The therapist also explores the nature of issues, how each person views them, and how the family has coped with them so far. It aids in better communication, provides new conflict-resolution methods, and provides the family with adequate resources to get through challenging times even after therapy.
