FOR FAMILIES
Our culture mostly promotes the concept of the unique and autonomous self. But how autonomous and free to truly be ourselves are we? The real reality is that from the time we are born we are influenced by our family of origin, significant others and all that we have experienced through our life span. These past inter-relations live, alive and well, in the here-and-now, and affect our thoughts, feelings, behaviours, attitudes, beliefs and values.
The family unit operates much like a complex machine where one part impacts on the other parts. If all parts operate perfectly then the entire system remains fully operational but if one part struggles there can be breakdown in the rest of the system.

Effective communication, our expectations, the time in our life span, our personality type, trust levels, and internal and external stressors all impact on the functioning of the family organism.
The implementation of family-therapy-strategies help to overcome the obstacles that keeps the family operating at a less than optimum level for parents with
children or adolescents.
