Our team of psychologists in Valencia, specialists in family therapy, helps families resolve the different kinds of problems that can arise within them, from a systemic perspective.
Family therapy starts from the premise that, even if they are not working well and are going through difficulties, all families have enormous potential to change and function better.
The starting point of family therapy
The systemic approach is the theoretical basis of all family therapy. From this perspective, the family is a system, and its members are interconnected like the parts of a working mechanism. When one of them has a problem, the other members of the system also suffer the consequences, and can help with the solution.
It is a relational approach: we work with the family to resolve family and relationship conflicts as well as problems, disorders or conflicts affecting one of its members. Whenever something affects everyone, everyone can help to solve it.
Does the whole family have to attend?
Family therapy does not mean that the whole family has to come to the sessions; involving the entire family group is not always necessary. The family therapy we provide in Valencia focuses mainly on the family members who are most open to change or most eager to change the situation.
The psychologist may therefore decide to work with some family members or with all of them, and will invite them accordingly. At other times they may see one person individually, or see the parents first and then the siblings, but they will always keep in mind the relationships the person has within the family and work on them.
In any case, the therapeutic process in family therapy is similar (in its stages and interventions) to individual therapy, with the difference that we work directly with the family and with the relationships the person has within it.
Common reasons for consulting us in Valencia
Families usually turn to family therapy at our clinic in Valencia because of two kinds of crisis:
- Unexpected or situational crises (an accident, separation, divorce, a death).
- Developmental crises, linked to the passing of time and the normal stages of the life cycle, such as adolescence, retirement or the empty nest when children leave home.
