Family therapy is based on the concept that all members of a family form a social system that has developed a unique structure and manner of communication. There are many things that enter into the formation of this system; the values and beliefs of the adults, the personalities of everyone involved in the social system and the influence that other extended family members have. When these unique variables are all taken into account it is easy to see how every family is unique with its own aspirations and problems. Family therapy in Minneapolis is based on:
