What is Strategic Family Therapy? | MFT Model Reviews

What's Anya Mind?
Today, we're diving into one of the most significant Marriage and Family Therapy models-- Strategic Family Therapy which was pioneered by Jay Haley. We'll be covering main concepts such as second order change, view of the problem, and main techniques such as directives and paradoxical interventions. Everything that you want to know should be in this video, and if you have other questions feel free to write them in the comments below!

I have to credit AATBS for providing the anchor for these videos, I have a link to their study materials below. They helped me pass the national exam!

I learned more from you than from the book. Thanks for explaining it so well.

Would love to see you cover Psychodynamic Theory (Object Relations). LOVE your videos!

[kharmon]

I'm studying for the LMHC licensing exam and I've been really struggling to understand the difference between structural and strategic family therapy. Your teaching is really helping me to finally understand and retain the theories - I'm so grateful! Thank you for sharing your work and improving our field.

I’ve been panicking daily about remembering theories and desperately searched for a way to understand and your video is finally giving me the knowledge I need! This is the first time I’m feeling peace in days, thank you!!

[dorianbanks]

I absolutely love your videos. They are extremely helpful when it comes to assimilating these theories. As tech evolves so does the way people learn. Sometimes reading information does not get processed the same way as a lecture does especially for newer generations. I am so happy that you are providing this information. An excellent use of Youtube!

I started my journey at NCU because of you. Thank you for helping me finally decide on a path. This video helped me with my current studies in my class. The explanations really help me grasp this concept. Please keep posting and Thank you !

Seriously watching this was a breath of fresh air. All praises to the Father. 🙌🏾. It's funny because one of my course resources was your video. My school (NCU) had your video linked as a recommendation to watch for my assignment. I am so thankful for that. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain each model!! 😊

[mrkdigm]

Thank you SO much! Studying for my LCE and you are really helping! Love it!

Watching your videos is giving me the courage that I need to think about taking the licensure exam once again. I have worked in the field for over twenty years facilitating groups for domestic violence and other related jobs that do not require a license. I am a person who has worked through many challenges and it is my lifelong to get my LMFT. You are amazing, thank you so much! Rosanne

What most people don't know is that almost of them were students of Milton Erickson. Shall mention some of them: Hayley, Weakland, Minuchin, Watzlawick, Including Bateson and Steve deShazer and Insoo Kim Berg, Rossi and so on . How did the name Double Bind came from? It came from Erickson as he had been using bind and double binds for couple of decades. Strategic and Solution focused brief therapy are both extentions of Milton Erickson work. For those that don't know. Erickson is the most studied and written about psychotherapist of all time. He is also the most effective and efficient therapist of all time. Also has more documented case studies than anyone else. To this day no other therapist has contributed in so many areas of psychiatry and psychotherapy in the past century. I recommend Erickson and want you that no matter how skilled and educated you are studying Erickson would be the challenge of your career. Objectively speaking.

P.s also Cloe Madanes.

It's overwhelming, isn't it. Erickson also had deep and profound relationship with Aldus Huxley

I love, love, love your videos! I often find them more helpful to my personal understanding of the material than the textbooks and the lesson videos assigned in my classes. Awesome job! Keep 'em coming!

[Self-helper]

I look at strategic therapy as reverse psychology it’s just a easier way for me to remember in my brain what it looks like thank you for the video

[caroleon]

Omg thank you so much for doing this videos. Can you do MRI and Milan as well. Thanks again !!!

[tamsarlynn]

Thank you, Steph Anya. I am in a human services class right now and I am writing a paper with a scenario being a 17-year-old female having problems after her parent's divorce and they remarry. I have to give my initial thoughts and do an assessment of the case providing therapy that I think would work for the given situation. Thank you for explaining this in detail. I FINALLY understand it. The lecture they gave this week was pretty vague as far as what it all means. I will continue to watch your videos and learn more. I want to become an affective chemical dependency counselor. This will help me so much. Have a great weekend.
