Description

Engaging in complex family systems is incredibly taxing and requires the ability to both assess individuals and the family as a unit. The triangular nature of creating attachment to both the family and the identified patient requires juggling competing values that clash when the identified patient, in an attempt to individuate, writes a different script for themselves. Family systems often promote compliance and dependency in an attempt for homeostasis within a rigid and restrictive system and present a binary paradigm of either dependence/dependency or rejection of independence efforts. We will discuss how we, as clinicians, help family systems in terms of moving from avoidance to curiosity, condemning isolation to self-compassion, and promoting authentic connection by accepting differences and accepting a state of interdependence and self-care.
