Inter-family Therapy is a modern form of therapeutic work, scientifically validated, which is placed half-way between psychotherapy and social intervention. It brings together different therapeutic models such as attachment theory, group analysis, large group work, systemic family therapy and the so-called “Open Dialogue Practice”. It is applicable not only to mental health, but also to dealing with a variety of human problems and in a variety of institutions. It is a model which has proved to be useful for psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, doctors, social workers, occupational therapists, teachers and other professional groups. It is a simple, practical and human treatment which implies a more social, ecological and democratic way of understanding and of acting on the problems of human beings, which could be expanded as a widespread model of intervention in mental health, social services and education, thanks to its efficiency and low cost.
In this seminar Dr Javier Sempere and Dr Claudio Fuenzalida will bring together the theoretical and practical aspects of inter-family therapy. They will introduce some general theoretical concepts for multifamily therapy before more specifically focusing on the “Interfamily Therapy” model. Practical engagement will be encouraged through video revision discussion and role playing.
