A 15-year-old boy's recent problems with the law have prompted his parents to seek family therapy. In today's session, the nurse–therapist has encouraged the family to consider and describe the unspoken rules, hierarchies,
laws, and expectations that exist within the family. Which of the following approaches to family therapy is the nurse–therapist most likely following?
A) Psychoanalytic approach
B) Structural approach
C) Bowen approach
D) Behaviorist approach
Ans: B
The structural approach to family therapy emphasizes the fact that families develop a set of invisible rules, hierarchies, and laws that evolve over time and are understood by all family members. This emphasis on the salience of family rules, expectations, and hierarchies is not central to psychoanalytic, Bowen, or behaviorist approach to family therapy.
