Family therapy views a person's symptoms as taking place in the larger context of the family. Just as a particular department in a business organization may suffer because of the problems in another department, a person with depression may be responding to larger family issues. For example, a depressed adolescent's symptoms may be related to her parents' marital problems.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
Negative aspects of the product (cons):	creates more tension, cant be fully honest

My brief stint with family therapy was utterly useless and very stressful. The only thing that came from it was heightened tempers.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Let's family members know what's going on.
Negative aspects of the product (cons):	I can't speak honestly in front of my parents.

It seems to take personal issues and make them the problem of the whole family. I don't like that, but maybe it works for some people.

It does not much good and just adds more confusion to the problem. Some good was becasue of more experiences were added to help the person.
