Marital and Family Therapy

Category - Treatment

A therapist can sometimes be an overwhelming authority figure. For those who do not respond well to authority figures, Milan therapy could be an especially appealing choice, since:
  1. Young people tend to present most problems
  2. The clients get to run the show
  3. The therapist maintains absolute neutrality
  4. The therapist promises not to make judgments
Explanation
Answer - C - Absolute neutrality is maintained, even in situations of grave emergency (i.e. self harm or harm to another). The therapist takes on the role of a spokesperson for the social good rather than as an authority figured charged with hospitalizing an individual for any infringement on rules of safety. The neutrality can sometimes cause conflict, but usually results in a family needing to turn inward to solve its problems.
