Why the Family Approach in Depression Counseling Works

Apr 06, 2017

Everyone in the family suffers when one of its members has a depressive illness. This is why depression counseling succeeds when the entire family becomes involved. Family therapy allows the entire household to participate in the counseling program. The unit becomes empowered and strengthened so that the depressed individual is more like to succeed in his treatment.

A family therapist explores the social context in which her client operates. Talking with everyone who lives with the client gives the therapist a balanced picture of his home life. Often, depressed individuals reside in families operating in some level of dysfunction. While this situation does not specifically cause the client's depression, residing in home where arguments and tension are the norm can make him feel worse. Also, note living with a depressed person often causes stress and sadness in the other family members.

Through therapy, the family is validated in regard to thoughts and emotions. Each person becomes a valued part of the treatment plan. Understanding this encourages them to be positive and to make changes. They become educated regarding the illness and can reassure the client that he is not alone in his recovery struggle.

Behavior counseling teaches the family how to function better so the depressive works on treatment in a more positive environment. The family learns how to solve problems together; they argue less and communicate more. The client thus enjoys a collaborative effort for success.
