Systemic Family Therapy
What is Systemic Family Therapy?
When family members are faced with difficulties communicating with each other, it can affect happiness and wellbeing. Sometimes the communication difficulties can be caused by a health problem affecting a family member. Adjusting to the changes can prove difficult and sometimes, without realising, a member can be easily either scapegoated or relieved from any responsibilities, which tends to affect the family equilibrium.
Systemic Family therapy is a therapy approach aimed at working on the family unit as a whole and not just the individuals. Systemic therapy views problems of the individual in the context of which they live in along with the larger socio-economic context. We are now delighted to offer this innovative service to a unique standard in Middle East.
