Expired Structural Family Therapy

This workshop will present and illustrate the conceptual tenets and therapeutic strategies of Structural Family Therapy (SFT), an approach developed by Dr. Salvador Minuchin. In SFT, a central role is assigned to the family, not just as the context for explaining symptomatic behaviors, but more importantly as an irreplaceable resource for the child.

Jorge Colapinto, LMFT, will teach participants how to assess family organization utilizing tracking, mapping, and the structural family therapy concepts of complementary and competence.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the structural theory of family, problems, and therapeutic change
  • Assess family organization utilizing tracking, mapping, and the structural family therapy concepts of complementarity and competence
  • Implement at a fundamental level the strategy and techniques of Structural Family Therapy
