FAMILY SYSTEMS THERAPY with Kenneth V. Hardy, PhD - DVD
Watch Kenneth V. Hardy masterfully demonstrate Family Systems Therapy in an actual therapy session in this three-part video. What a treat to see this innovative therapist in action!
For Hardy, it is imperative to move therapy beyond a strict individualistic approach, focusing instead on how clients influence and are influenced by their relationships and larger social contexts. In this video, Hardy works with a client who’s efforts to avoid conflict have the unintended effect of increasing tension and creating a rift in his marriage. He urges the client to express his feelings to his wife directly, bringing to light deep fears of revealing his anger and receiving disapproval. Hosts Jon Carlson and Diane Kjos introduce Dr. Hardy and facilitate an enlightening discussion, highlighting the relational and contextual aspects of the case.
