Presenter: Kristina S. Brown, PhD, LMFT  Jay Haley (1923-2007) described strategic family therapy as follows: "it is a therapy where the therapist initiates what happens during therapy, designs a specific approach for each person's presenting problem, and where the therapist takes responsibility for directly influencing people." This workshop will present a history of strategic family therapy including leading figures, theoretical formulations, normal family development, and development of behavior disorders (Nichols, 2013). Therapy from this orientation will be reviewed including setting goals for therapy and what assessments and therapeutic techniques look like. Case studies will be presented for hands-on application and discussion.
At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to: - Describe the three different models of strategic family therapy and the history of their development;
- Review the basic tenets of normal family development and development of behavior disorders through the strategic lens; and
- Demonstrate firsthand experience of the therapeutic techniques of strategic family therapy.
This workshop is approved for 3 credit hours. |
