1. family therapy

   Family therapy is a type of psychological counseling (psychotherapy) that helps family members improve communication, resolve conflicts, and deepen family connections. It is often based on the premise that families are a unique social system with their own structure and patterns of communication, which may be defined by parenting style, personalities, and personal or societal issues. This therapy supports families or individuals within a family to better understand how their family functions, identify strengths and weaknesses within the system, and work towards achieving a healthier and more balanced home environment.

1. Family therapy

   Family therapy, also referred to as couple and family therapy, marriage and family therapy, family systems therapy, and family counseling, is a branch of psychotherapy that works with families and couples in intimate relationships to nurture change and development. It tends to view change in terms of the systems of interaction between family members. It emphasizes family relationships as an important factor in psychological health. The different schools of family therapy have in common a belief that, regardless of the origin of the problem, and regardless of whether the clients consider it an "individual" or "family" issue, involving families in solutions often benefits clients. This involvement of families is commonly accomplished by their direct participation in the therapy session. The skills of the family therapist thus include the ability to influence conversations in a way that catalyses the strengths, wisdom, and support of the wider system. In the field's early years, many clinicians defined the family in a narrow, traditional manner usually including parents and children. As the field has evolved, the concept of the family is more commonly defined in terms of strongly supportive, long-term roles and relationships between people who may or may not be related by blood or marriage.

1. Clifford Villanueva Villalon:

   The five vowels of the English language are always present in the three revitalizing words of family therapy: smile, laugh, cry. There’s none in the third word, so we add the missing “o” !
