Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Change will come from within the family and while individuals can certainly contribute to how much they are willing to change, the family will need to change from the inside out when bringing about necessary change to the system. The exerting control isn't so much about what the therapist can do, so much as how the individual may choose to change.
