Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that
involved several members of a family. It looks at
the family as a basic unit that can be acting in a
functional or dysfunctional manner. In family
therapy, issues among all of the family members
can be addressed. Issues involving the parental
relationship, the relationship of parents to
children, and among the siblings are all
important issues in family therapy. In general,
Dr. Belkin conducts family therapy in a manner
similar to that of couples therapy. The
individual members of the family will be
generally seen independently, and when
necessary, all family members will be seen in
one extended appointment together.
Dysfunctional relationships and activities are
discussed to turn them into functional
relationships and activities. In the end, the goal
is to improve communication, love, feelings, and
relationships among the family members.
