Family Therapy: A Boon To Modern Stressed Women
Journal Title: Nepal Journal of Neuroscience - Year 2007, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Women are integral to all aspects of society. However, the multiple roles that they fulfill in society render them at greater risk of experiencing mental problems than others in the community. In recent years, Family Therapy has been identified and used as an important tool for the management of most of the mental health problems. A broken family, poverty, natural calamities affecting the family structure, death of the dear ones, entry of new member in the family, attitude towards sex is considered to be some of the significant causes which challenge the integrity of the family and affect the mental health of the individual family members. Women suffer twice as often as men by adverse mental health. For the past few years family therapy has been fast replacing the pharmacological, psychotherapeutic approaches to ensure enduring mental health rehabilitation outcomes. In this article we try to relate the influence of family therapy on mental health with special reference to women.
