EXAMINATION OF EMOTION-FOCUSED AND PROBLEM-FOCUSED FAMILY THERAPY WITH SYSTEM APPROACH

Abstract

This article examines the effects of the integration of Emotion Focused Couple Therapy (EFT) and Problem Focused Systemic Family Therapy (McMaster Family Therapy Model) in the intervention processes of social workers working with couples and families. On the basis of the systems approach, a holistic approach is proposed for the solution of dysfunctions encountered in the relational dynamics of individuals and couples. The structure of EFT, which focuses on emotional processes, combines with the systemic framework of the McMaster Model to strengthen the internal and environmental harmony of couples. This integrated model aims to create lasting changes in social work practices.
