Area of Science:

  • Family Therapy
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Systemic-Relational Theory

Background:

  • Therapists face challenges in gathering and organizing relevant information during initial family therapy sessions.
  • Understanding essential concerns of families and couples is crucial for effective therapeutic intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a clinical interviewing and case conceptualization process for training family therapists.
  • To introduce a method for organizing information into relational hypotheses for understanding presenting problems.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing clinical interviewing techniques to gather information from families and couples.
  • Developing systemic-relational conceptualizations (relational hypotheses) to frame presenting problems.
  • Illustrating the process with case examples.

Main Results:

  • The described approach facilitates the organization of specific information into provisional relational hypotheses.
  • Relational hypotheses provide a systemic-relational framework for therapists and clients.
  • These hypotheses guide the ongoing therapeutic work by offering a conceptual through-line.

Conclusions:

  • The described interviewing and conceptualization process aids therapists in understanding family dynamics.
  • Systemic-relational conceptualizations are essential for contextualizing presenting problems.
  • This approach enhances the effectiveness of family therapy training and practice.
