Family and couple therapy; It is a branch of psychotherapy in which the close relationship between families and couples is studied in order to ensure change and development.
The relationships that individuals establish with other people are very important for their mental health and emotional satisfaction. This role becomes more prominent especially in close relationships with people such as parents, spouses and children. In the marital relationship, which is one of these close relationships, spouses may experience conflicts, difficult and troubled periods from time to time.
The aim of family and couple therapy is to deal with the difficult and troublesome processes experienced within the family and between couples, to resolve conflicts and to ensure the healthy change and development of all family members. It is aimed to regulate both family relations and relations with other people and situations.
In our country, family and couple therapy has an increasing importance in recent years. Individuals need a change that can occur in the entire system in order to get rid of their troublesome and difficult cycles. Therapists help family members find constructive ways to help each other. The distress of each member is evaluated within the family system.
Studies with families and couples have a long-term effect. Individuals participating in therapy learn more about themselves and other family members. The close relationships that individuals establish with each other are supported. With the acquisition of coping skills, it is possible not only to find solutions to the situations experienced at that moment, but also to cope with some difficult situations that may be experienced afterwards.
