Example text
In family psychology, the lens is grounded in the specifications of systemic thinking along with the unique theories and models that are built upon it. The profession has a number of somewhat different lenses that emphasize and highlight either research, theory, or the lore of clinical wisdom conveyed through supervision and training. Traditional theories, integrated models, and evidence-based treatment programs are also lenses through which clients, issues, and mechanisms of change are viewed.
Thus, family psychology is as interested in biological bases of behavior and issues of personality development as it is in social factors affecting human behavior. It is a broad specialty area of psychology that is a systems-based discipline offering assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and doctoral-level research (Sexton & Stanton, 2015). Its orientation is biopsychosocial and proceeds from a variety of evidence-based theoretical modalities for individuals, couples, and families (Sexton & Stanton, 2015; Stanton, 2009).
Most of the theories on which family therapy is based, such as structural family therapy, strategic family therapy, or narrative therapy, have received scant attention in the empirical literature, though they have received considerable clinical validation. Family psychology on the other hand utilizes a combination of objective and clinical assessments at multiple ecological levels to achieve individual, couple, and family diagnoses that are the core for effective treatment planning. An informed and accurate diagnosis is seen as vital to the integrity of the treatment plan whether individual or relational.
