What Are Some Common Therapeutic Approaches Used by MFTs?
MFTs utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches to address the unique needs of cancer patients and their families. These may include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and systemic family therapy. CBT helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns, while narrative therapy allows patients and families to reframe their experiences and find meaning in their journey. Systemic family therapy focuses on the interactions between family members and how these relationships can be strengthened.
