| Outline | Assessing Family Dynamics (AFD) Structural Family Therapy, developed in the 1970s, has become one of the most widely used models in the field. The theory is popular because it is simple, inclusive and practical. The basic structural concepts – hierarchy, boundaries and subsystems – are easily understood and applied. They take into account the individual, family and social context, and provide a clear organising framework for understanding and treating families. This workshop provides a theoretical framework for understanding family functioning, how behaviour problems develop in children, and how children’s emotional development can be facilitated. |
| Target group | For people who: Provide counselling or work with children and families. Assist parents (or others) to understand and manage children’s behaviour. Assess family functioning, for example: court reporting, foster placement. Provide education – for parents and health/welfare/education professionals. |
| Facilitator | Peter Marrington is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with a special interest in anxiety and trauma. He has more than 35 years’ experience working as a child and family therapist in government and not-for-profit organisations, and in private practice – providing counselling to children and adults, consultancy and training to health and welfare professionals, managing clinical services, and in the research and development of treatment programs for abused children and adults.
