At INTRA-TP, therapeutic work is organised by distinguishing between the patient’s space and the family’s space. In this way, each party has its own environment, which encourages free expression and communication regarding relevant aspects of the therapeutic process. The family is regarded as a key factor in the patient’s recovery.
The approach with families focuses primarily on:
Psychoeducation: providing information about the difficulties the patient is experiencing, their potential needs, and how to address them.
Family counselling: offering guidance on practical strategies to improve family dynamics, communication and the management of complex situations.
Support and guidance: fostering attitudes that contribute to the patient’s well-being and independence.
FAMILY THERAPY
Why focus on families?
Based on many years of clinical experience, we believe that involving family members is important in many therapeutic processes, including those where the reason for seeking help appears to be personal.
For a long time, families have felt sidelined, blamed, overwhelmed and alone in the process of supporting their loved ones; it is therefore important to provide them with a dedicated space where they can find specialist support.
The family is also a key pillar in our patients’ recovery and well-being, and their support is of great help to us. Family members are our partners in this process.
Why do we need family involvement?
The family may be exhausted and may not fully understand the patient’s problems, so having a space for emotional support can be useful and a great help to them.
Information from family members is essential for gaining a better understanding of the problems and difficulties patients may face, helping us to support them more effectively.
Support for relatives
Our approach to working with families provides separate spaces for the patient and the family, thereby ensuring confidentiality and the stability of the therapeutic relationship, and avoiding bias and subjectivity.
At our centre, we have psychologists who specialise in family support and intervention, ensuring that our patients’ loved ones receive specialist support.
