Document Summary
Systems theory - views psychological and relational problems as arising from within the individual"s present environment and the intergenerational family system. Symptoms are believed to be an expression of dysfunctions within the system, which can be passed along through numerous generations. Professionals who conduct family therapy generally adopt a systemic perspective as the foundation of their practice. Live supervision (p. 411) - can be conducted by a supervisor who watches and guides the session behind a one-way mirror and offers useful feedback and consultation to trainees on how they are working with a family. Co-therapy (p. 411) - provides trainees with opportunities to work closely with a supervisor or a colleague. A great deal of the supervision can take place immediately after and between sessions. Gender-sensitive couples and family therapy - attempts to help both women and men move beyond stereotyped gender roles.
