"In this training video, Harry J. Aponte demonstrates his unique approach to Structural Family Therapy. Adrian and Judy have been to several therapists to try to understand their daughter Pam's anger, and are frustrated with the lack of improvement in Pam's behavior. Aponte demonstrates key principles of Structural Therapy by focusing on concrete day-to-day issues and engaging actively with all three family members to help them understand the underlying conflicts beneath Pam's anger. Aponte strikes a delicate balance of meeting the family on their terms, and yet confidently making observations as well as asserting what they need to do to make the changes they so desperately desire. Aponte's responses to questions from an audience of therapists further elucidate the rationale behind his interventions. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions."
