A
family's patterns of behavior influence each individual and the family members
who live within the home therefore your family may need to be a part of the
treatment plan if negative issues arise. In marriage and family therapy, the
unit of treatment is not just with one person - even if only a single person is
interviewed - it is the set of relationships in which the person is embedded.
Marriage
and family therapy is – brief, solution-focused, specific, with attainable
therapeutic goals, and designed with the "end in mind."
Marriage and family therapist Los Feliz treats a wide range of serious clinical
problems including depression, marital problems, anxiety, individual
psychological problems, and child-parenting problems.
Research
indicates that marriage and family therapy is as effective and, in some cases,
more effective than standard and/or individual treatments for many mental
health problems such as adult schizophrenia, affective (mood) disorders, adult
alcoholism, and drug abuse, children's conduct disorders, adolescent drug
abuse, anorexia, childhood autism, chronic physical illness in adults and
children, and marital distress and conflict.
Marriage
and family counseling Los Feliz regularly practice
short-term therapy; 12 sessions on average. Nearly 65.6% of the cases are
completed within 20 sessions, 87.9% within 50 sessions. Marital/couples therapy
(11.5 sessions) and family therapy (9 sessions) both require less time than the
average individual treatment (13 sessions). About half of the treatment
provided by marriage and family therapists is one-on-one with the other half
divided between marital/couple and family therapy, or a combination of
treatments.
