The family therapist views family relationships as an important factor of psychological wellness. The goal of family therapy is to achieve balance within the family system of of interactions. The family therapist is a relational therapist who focuses on what takes place between individuals and how this constitutes their interactive patterns. By analyzing specific patterns of interactions and challenging the individuals to implement alternative ways of responding to one another, positive change and ultimately balance occurs within the family system via a domino effect. Blame is of no concern. Rather, the objective is that any singular change will trigger successive changes within the system.
