Ana Catarina Ribeiro psychologist

When we talk about therapy, we talk about aid , construction, development ... of ties, relations, powers of their own family . Sometimes the skills are there but you need to activate them so that the family can solve your problems ! And the therapist makes it even shows the family their skills , guides , help promote change .

Family therapy is extremely important when there are pathological relationships within a family. And in the case of parental alienation is central to family therapy . If I go to the doctor when I’m sick , I go to the family therapist when my family is with a relational disease, there is no harm in it , quite the contrary is to praise the attitude of seeking help .

Initially the therapist talks to the family in order to understand the history of it, its dynamics , its problems , the phase in which it is ... and if the sale is important to realize the kind of influence that the child exerts on parents and vice versa .

Each family system has certain characteristics , each with its own particularities . Accordingly, family therapy is tailored for each case , each family. And each subsystem ( family member ) is also different , has a personality , a way of thinking and acting differently from others. And how different they are, their views are therefore different , their individual and particular discourse . The therapist’s role will be in the middle of the family web of relationships that particular family find a way to help and guide the family to be reunited network. Nevertheless , family therapy is with family , with their stakeholders , and is therefore contraindicated when some element is opposed to doing it .

Family therapy will help reorganize the interrelationships and discover new rules of fa-

mily functioning. The therapist strives to find someone who is healthy in that particular family. Sometimes , a mother, a father or a brother can hold this position . And all the elements that can help the family regain health are fundamental , so work begins on the therapist but it is the family that must reconstruct the relational building , and sometimes the walls have cracks of time , the frustrations , of “ relational disorders,” but everything is recoverable ... and the will to change the main working tool of all elements . Seek help , change , subjecting yourself to be happy !
