Structural Family Therapy is a counseling model that emphasizes the role of family structures in the psychological health of its members. According to this approach, 1) a family’s dysfunction is most often related to structural elements rather than the characteristics of individual members and 2) healthier boundaries can lead to a stronger family unit.
