Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on improving communication and resolving conflicts within familial relationships. It operates on the premise that issues within one family member's life often affect the entire family dynamic. By involving all members in the therapeutic process, family therapy aims to foster understanding, empathy, and cohesion among family members. Therapists use various techniques such as role-playing, communication exercises, and systemic analysis to identify and address underlying issues. The goal is to create a supportive environment where each member feels heard and valued, leading to healthier relationships and improved overall family functioning.
