Family Mapping

You don’t need buy-in from every member of a family for family therapy to work. You need buy-in from the most powerful members of the family. Mastering the process of family mapping can help identify its power structure, leading to clear avenues for intervention to effectively produce change. This course describes the principles and process of family mapping, and walks through multiple case examples to demonstrate the process.
