Comment on Structural Family Therapy by Charlton Hall, LMFT

Charlton Hall, LMFT — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 04:38:08 +0000

I like Structural…or at least elements of it. I especially like the idea of helping clients become ‘co-therapists.’ I always tell my clients that my ultimate goal is to work myself out of a job.

I completely agree. The therapist needs to experience the client’s emotions or at least have a good idea what it is like to feel as the client does.

Psychotherapists must always start off trying to meet their patients on an experiential level. Failing to do so leads to objectification and dehumanization of the other person. Whether or not various psychological techniques are used, or physiological interventions such as medication are administered, a therapist’s primary task begins in finding access to the patient’s emotional state. The work of a therapist must involve the experience of the patient in all its nuance and complexity.

For the therapist who works within an experiential framework, a large part of the work must involve finding access to the experiences of his patients in himself. While being a ‘warm and caring’ therapist may be important, it is relatively hollow in contrast to the therapist actually having a sense of how it feels to be you, how it feels to be experiencing the world as you do. A therapist must be comfortable sitting with feelings, both yours and his own, if he is to be helpful. The need to objectify patients and rely primarily on a conceptual or theoretical understanding of their problems, or a categorical diagnosis, often serves as a defense and blocks truly knowing the patient’s suffering and struggles.
