System of a Family

I am a little nervous because I am getting ready to start running a family group therapy session. My supervisor is an LMFT and he is giving me lots of instruction, also the senior therapist at my sight is extremely experienced with family therapy. A lot of times, the families that attend the group are angry and upset and may not be very happy to be there.

Thinking and reading about the postmodern approaches reminds me of the Foucault that I read in college and the idea of relativistic constructions of reality. That calls into question the concepts of normalcy and what constitutes that type of behavior. I think that interventions like solution focused therapy that can be used to help guide patients, without letting go of the theoretical underpinning that I find dear.
