Individual Therapy from a Family Systems Perspective

In Individual Therapy From a Family Systems Perspective, Dr. Florence W. Kaslow demonstrates her integrative approach to therapy. This approach combines techniques from relational-contextual, Bowenian, structural, and cognitive-behavioral therapies, among others, and focuses on the individual within the family context. In this session, Dr. Kaslow focuses on interpersonal conflicts and stresses between the client and members of his family as well as on the client's own internal conflicts. The case concerns a son involved in a family business and some of the issues frequently encountered in such situations when the interpersonal problems within the family are not resolved and spill over into the family business arena. Dr. Kaslow proposes possible resolution strategies to help the son individually and within the business context for the benefit of everyone.
