Marital and Family Therapy

Category - Treatment

In order to determine what brings a family into therapy, the emotionally-focused therapist might be interested in the family’s degree of:
  1. Abstraction
  2. Connectedness
  3. Disbelief
  4. Honesty
Explanation
Answer - B - Connectedness is a definition of how close a family is. That closeness is almost always a positive trait, but can have some negative issues, such as enmeshment or cutoff. The family’s level of honesty with the therapist would not necessarily be of interest, as he would examine this as therapy moved forward. When it comes to any abstraction, the therapist will likely bring it into the present moment before exploring it with the client.
