Family therapy may involve a whole family or several family members, all meeting with a Therapist.  Family therapy can be helpful if a family is having problems getting along.  It can also be used with one family member who has a a problem and family relationships may be contributing to or maintaining that problem.  In many cases the problem may be exhibited by a child, but this is not always the case.
Family therapy is often recommended if a child has a behavior problem.  Some family therapists see the child with the problem as the "scapegoat" and view the problems as actually residing within the family system.  Eating disorders in adolescents are often treated with family therapy.  Family therapists avoid blaming any family member for the problem, rather they help the family interact in different ways that may solve the problem.
