Abstract

Bu makale, çiftler ve ailelerle çalışan sosyal hizmet uzmanlarının müdahale süreçlerinde Duygu Odaklı Çift Terapisi (EFT) ve Sorun Odaklı Sistemik Aile Terapisi (McMaster Aile Terapisi Modeli) entegrasyonunun etkilerini incelemektedir. Sistem yaklaşımı temelinde, bireylerin ve çiftlerin ilişkisel dinamiklerinde karşılaşılan işlev bozukluklarının çözümünde bütüncül bir yaklaşım önerilmektedir. EFT’nin duygusal süreçlere odaklanan yapısı, McMaster Modelinin sistemik çerçevesiyle birleşerek çiftlerin içsel ve çevresel uyumunu güçlendirmektedir. Bu entegre model, sosyal hizmet uygulamalarında kalıcı değişimler yaratma amacı taşımaktadır.

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.
