In Individual Therapy From a Family Systems Perspective, Dr. Florence W. Kaslow demonstrates her integrative approach to therapy. This approach combines techniques from relational–contextual, Bowenian, structural, and cognitive–behavioral therapies, among others, and focuses on the individual within the family context. In this session, Dr. Kaslow focuses on interpersonal conflicts and stresses between the client and members of his family as well as on the client's own internal conflicts. The case concerns a son involved in a family business and some of the issues frequently encountered in such situations when the interpersonal problems within the family are not resolved and spill over into the family business arena. Dr. Kaslow proposes possible resolution strategies to help the son individually and within the business context for the benefit of everyone. This video features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material. Read about precipitating events and preceding sessions
A family systems perspective undergirds and encompasses the assessment and analysis of the attitudes and behaviors of patients and of the treatment interventions used. Each person's construction of his or her shared reality is deemed to be important, and it is vital that each individual have an opportunity to tell his or her story on his or her terms. They can then consider how they want to weave the next chapters in the tapestry of their life histories, and which threads are to be separate and which are to be intertwined.
