Family therapy is a type of psychological counseling that helps families work through issues and improve their relationships. It is a form of group therapy or talk therapy. It focuses on addressing problems within the family unit and enhancing communication and understanding among family members. 

Types of approaches: 

• Structural Family Therapy: explores the interactions between family members and works on restructuring roles and relationships to address dysfunctions. 
• Strategic Family Therapy: focuses on solving specific problems by implementing strategies and changing patterns of behavior. 
• Systemic Family Therapy: examines the patterns and context in which interactions within the family system occur and looks at how they may contribute to issues. 
• Narrative Therapy: encourages family members to reframe their stories and perceptions about their problems and relationships.
