Families can find themselves in a situation where they for a time need a place in which they can talk undisturbed about what is difficult and receive help to move on together.  In order to gain something from family therapy, the adults must be agreed that there is something with which the family has need of help.  Often one or more children in the family will be opposed to the idea, because they fear the uncertainty of change

 

 

The things challenging the family can for example be

 

 

Interaction

• locked in dissatisfying ways of being together

• many quarrels

• difficulties about separateness
