Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In structural family therapy, the therapist initially acts like one of the family and participates in family interactions in order to observe and understand the family's structure and dynamics. The therapist then uses this understanding to restructure the family's interactions and relationships. The therapist is not necessarily directive but is active and involved in the therapy process. The focus is on present interactions, rather than solely on past events. The therapy model does not adopt a Rogerian approach, although active listening may be used in sessions.
