When and How To Use Paradoxical Interventions
from Family Systems In 15 Minutes · host Oliver Drakeford LMFT CGP
Learn when to use paradoxical interventions effectively in your practice. This video breaks down the clinical application of this approach using a real family systems therapy case study.We start with a 15-year-old client presenting with recurring physical symptoms that mimic epilepsy, despite clear medical tests. By examining this clinical case study, we can look at how symptoms function within a family unit rather than just treating the individual. This approach helps therapists identify the underlying dynamics that maintain behaviors.Understanding these therapeutic techniques allows clinicians to move beyond symptom management and address the systemic structure of the family. If you are looking to integrate family systems therapy into your work, this analysis provides a clear framework for application.Join the Family Systems Collective to access the handout and training resources here: https://www.skool.com/family-systems-collective-7929/aboutFind my full course in Family Systems Therapy here : https://www.oliverdrakefordtherapy.com/training/family-therapy-training-online
