Creating Order in Under-Organized Families through the Four Pillars of ESFT
Trainer
Miranda Stickler, LMFT AS
Description
This training is the last in a four-part series on Addressing Dysfunctional Family Patterns through the Four Pillars of Ecosystemic Structural Family Therapy.
Eco Systemic Structural Family Therapy believes all maladaptive family patterns of interaction can be classified in four dysfunctional family types: Embattled, Enmeshed, Authoritarian, and Under-Organized. This training series will look at how therapists can help shift those family pattern through practical use of the Four Pillars of ESFT. This particular training in the series will teach ways clinician can help create structure and predictability in an under-organized system. In ESFT, under-organized systems are characterized by role ambiguity, a lack of rules for the structure, and oriented to the crisis of the day. In these family system's child's emotion needs are missed due to a flood of chronic stressors in the systems- people are functioning in survival mode. In this training, therapist will learn to identify under-organized systems, create specific goals in each pillar of ESFT (emotion regulation, parent child relationship, executive functioning, and co-caregiver relationships), and apply practical interventions to help facilitate change in these four areas to move the family closer to a pattern of interacting that better meets the child’s needs.
