Session Length: 2 hr. 00 min. Event: 2009 Networker Annual Symposium Date: March 26-29, 2009
In the 1960s, structural family therapy, pioneered by Salvador Minuchin, became known for its tough and ruthless assault on old-style therapy. Today, its innovative therapeutic principles, such as doing enactments and looking beyond the individual to the system, remain components of the approach and have been integrated with contemporary clinical methods. In this workshop, four current practitioners taught or influenced by Minuchin will show videos of their cases to explore how they've refined structural methods. Salvador Minuchin will comment on his students' work and discuss the genesis of structural family therapy and the pros and cons of how it's practiced today. (This session will continue with Workshop 502.)
