This paper will discuss the concepts of therapy utilized within the Structural Family Therapy model and how Sue Johnson utilized many of its methods when constructing Emotionally Focused Therapy model. The history of family therapy will be evaluated and the goals of family therapy.

Author and Princeton history professor Kevin Kruse once said, “Life isn’t about getting and having, it’s about giving and being.” These thoughtful words have continually kept me on the path of caring for others. Having this attitude has helped me to solidify my future goals, and being an active member and president of my school’s Key Club are largely to thank for this as well.

My Theories of Counseling professor explained to the class that our inspirations to be therapists will be harmed if we are unable to unravel and interpret our own feelings.

Satir’s philosophical and humanistic approach regarding family therapy is the antithesis to the divide and rule model utilized throughout history in many political, sociological, and economical endeavors. Whereas the divide and rule model is typically employed to increase or maintain power for ulterior or selfish reasons, Satir’s approach to family therapy seeks the opposite by promoting liberation and enfranchisement through unification and convergence between and among family members (Littlewood, 2009). For this to occur the therapist must be actively involved with his or her clients and to do so in a nonjudgmental, empathic, genuine manner (Rasheed, Rasheed, & Marley, 2011). To achieve this goal the therapist must first succeed at establishing a strong alliance with each member of the family in order to be accepted as “one of their own”.

Psychoeducation does follow some of the techniques used by traditional treatments, such as cooperating with the family, acquiring the trust of its members, remaining unbiased, and figuring out the best methods to have positive conclusions. In summary, the program helps families learn problem-solving approaches that will help them have prosperous marital or parent-child relationships (Goldenberg & Goldenberg, 2013, p.416).
