Progressive Psychological Healthcare views family as a unique social system, with its own unique structures, boundaries, rules, communication styles, beliefs, values, and personality. All these variables along with outside factors such as environmental stressors, influence of the extended family and individual differences may cause a lot conflict within the family system. Family therapy is a form of therapy that is designed specifically to address issues within the family circle, improve communication among family members and resolve conflicts. Family therapy may involve all family members or just members that are available and willing to participate. From a family systems model, any change in one member of the family affects both the family as a system as well as all other family members individually.
