The phenomena of emotional bonding, role enactment, communication, sexuality, and the broader system that provides the context for a relationship become the focus of couple therapy when conflict occurs. Chisholm, 1996 Copyright © 2012 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
Interest in the family of the psychiatric patient has blended over the years to interest in the family as the psychiatric patient. This conceptual focus on the family as a whole instead of one individual member is the key element of the family therapy approach.
