Systemic Psychotherapy

Systemic Psychotherapy emerged in the early 1940s and is inspired by systems and communication theories. It approaches the patient through their family and close interpersonal relationships, considering that psychological difficulties are linked to the roles they adopt in various relationship frameworks they are part of (e.g., as a romantic partner, a family member, a member of a cultural group, etc.). Emotional and behavioral difficulties are resolved through the analysis and reconstruction of the relational patterns adopted and automatically applied in their daily life.

Systemic Psychotherapy Techniques

The frequency of sessions in Systemic Psychotherapy is usually weekly. The psychological difficulty is studied in all its complexity, both psychosomatically and in relation to other people and environments relevant to the patient's life. While the psychotherapeutic process is primarily individual, the therapist may suggest joint sessions with other members of the patient's environment.
