Family Therapy
Family therapy can occur in several different permutations. Meeting with the whole family together can be particularly useful (sometimes as an adjunct to individual therapy) when there is an issue that affects the whole family as a group. Common examples of these kind of situations include blended families, where family therapy can be very useful in helping the new sibling group to coalesce as a unit, establishing the legitimacy of the non-biological parents(s), and beginning to form a new family culture while appreciating the existence of other families (such as the other biological parent and possible half- or step-siblings in the case of divorce).
