Abstract: | While significant contributions have been made in analyzing the efficacy of the systemic approach with individual clients, debate on the subject continues to cast a shadow of doubt on the practice. In this article, the author presents the use of Structural Family Therapy with an individual adult client, diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder. The use of the systemic approach as the foundation for the treatment plan was shown to be effective, as demonstrated by the client’s reduction in hostility and improved overall well-being. The outcomes revealed this approach to be effective in improving the individual client’s functioning, without working directly with the entire relational system. |
