Clinical Developments Forward

Just attended a book launch relating the insights towards the habitat of clin psy in Singapore. The panel were discussing about how to improve and engage family therapy. Our concerns bordered on the current climate, the complexes, just for instance, couple therapy. The conflicts and dynamics within a couple session, as identified by my mentors, are already warning turbulence at various "air pockets". If u take on a couple with individual therapists, the mitigation might be less confronting and allows more genuine sharing, reducing the complications in a confrontation.

Imagine the whole family with one mediator, one man can't fly or pilot a plane. What's more, there is lacking synergestic effect as compared to a group therapy of people sharing a common situation and/or sentiments, where they share, support, emphatize, energise and motivate one another. Instead, the whole constellation system is bound to resonate on diffusion of responsibilities.

How do we manoeuvre when we cannot 'plane the journey harmoniously'?

Regardless, we will take care to take into consideration and accommodate our client's needs or requests with regards to couple or family therapy

The key concern is on how to optimise couple and family therapy

balancing time-sensitivity
