[quote=Anonymous]I have three girl friends go to family. For two of them, it sounded like THEY were getting the most out of it. Both adolescents expressed dislike of the process. Neither teens had major problems/ Moms were both what I would call “dramatic” types: They retold stories over the phone. The third friend went to therapy w daughter with a control disorder that impacted her weight and health. That seems like a more functional situation. My take is that it depends on who is in the room and their personality type and temperament. It’s not for everyone. I also believe teens need some outlet that has privacy —and an opportunity to express their feelings, using their own words, without immediate evaluation from another family member. Unfortunately, family and couples therapy has a lot of judgment and argument built into it. [/quote]
