Family psychotherapy

The family, on the one hand, is a constantly changing cell of society (new members of the family are born, children grow up, the older generation grow old and die), and on the other hand, it is a functional organism that tries to keep the invariance all the time. These two contradictions, development and the desire for immutability, can cause an acute conflict , and, accordingly, problems in family relations. It is with the problems generated by this contradiction that family psychotherapy works.

Periods when conflicts and clashes are inevitable

Family behavioral psychotherapy has created a certain gradation, the division of family life of a person, into periods most prone to domestic crises. They look like this:

1. Young people decided to live together - both have their own ideas about everyday life, relationships, and since these ideas rarely coincide, the task of the crisis is to teach them to introduce home "rules of the game."
2. The birth of children - parents have their own views on upbringing, the concepts of responsibility and a sense of duty.
3. "Average age" is a notorious topic in the cabinets of psychotherapy of family relations. People realize that life is not infinite, which means it's time to sum up the preliminary results. Forces fade, and to prolong youth, the couple often get themselves young lovers.
4. The children grew up-the grown-up scions bring their spouses to the house. The connection between parents and children is weakening, mothers are jealous of sons to their daughters-in-law, and the family again has to revise its "rules of the game."
5. The death of one of the spouses is the last crisis of this family. Life and order are drastically changing, neuroses, conflicts, depression , breakdowns, mental illness are possible.

Communicative psychotherapy

With family communication psychotherapy (a direction that has arisen relatively recently) is associated with a very interesting study. In the 1970s, a study was conducted on hereditary schizophrenia. It turned out that the disease manifests itself in most cases in families with undeveloped communication skills, with misunderstandings of each other, with frequent inconsistencies.

The first problem to be solved in the psychotherapist's office is the development of communication skills. It is because of their lack, underdevelopment and there are family crises.

Sexual Crises

And as for the most painful and intimate topic in the matrimonial bedrooms, the psychotherapy of family sexual disharmony distinguishes only four reasons for their occurrence. Moreover, whatever the sexual relations between the spouses, they are considered harmonious, if both partners are satisfied with them.

List of sexual disharmony:

1. Impotence.
2. Premature ejaculation.
3. Frigidity (lack of sexual desire in a woman).
4. Anorgasmia (woman's inability to experience orgasm).

In addition, all these problems often grow from the psyche of people, not their sexual organs.
