Although living in the same family culture, differences, and in relation to this, disagreements may emerge in the family, among the family members.  Family therapy is a phase during which the conflicts and problems are solved, accompanied by a specialist.  It focuses on how the family system works, and the relationships of the family members with each other.  The main objective is to have the family members understand each other better and strengthen their relationships.  During the therapy, the subject to be worked on is determined by the help of the therapist and a treatment plan is formed.  Family therapy helps to reinforce the relationships of the family members and helps to overcome the difficulties and stresses in hard times.  The skills that are achieved during the therapy, help continue healthy and balanced relationships in the family.

The therapy period could sometimes continue by including all of the family members, some of the family members or only one member of the family.  How often the sessions will take place depends on the intensity of the subject matter or its level of emergency; however, the ideal frequency of the meeting is once a week.  Here are the subjects worked on, in general:

-In family disputes (conflicts) and problem solving

-In family stress management
