- Summary:
- Brief strategic family therapy is an effective, evidence-based approach to working with families of children and adolescents that are in crisis. Such families often come to therapy unwillingly or as a last resort, after they have exhausted all other options. This therapeutic approach focuses on changing interactional patterns from conflictive to collaborative, and in the process restoring the parents' sense of competence and increasing nurturance and caring within the family.After an introduction from Dr. Donna Baptiste from the Family Institute at Northwestern University, Dr. José Szapocznik answers some questions from a mental health panel. Next, a full psychotherapy demonstration where Dr. Szapocznik uses brief strategic family therapy to work with a blended family that have been experiencing tension and arguments, and whose teenage son has been using substances, skipping school, and associating with delinquent friends is presented . Dr. Szapocznik shows how this approach can change negative interactions into positive and increase each family member's sense of belonging. After, the panel and Dr. Szapocznik review some clips from the session and discuss them in further detail.The clients in this demonstration are portrayed by actors on the basis of a composite of actual cases
