The use of structured experiences in family therapy

Abstract

Structured experiences such as sculpting, psychodrama, rôle‐play and growth games are frequently used in family therapy. This article puts forward a framework for the use of structured experiences which can be used in the context of a family session to ensure that the family will gain the maximum learning and change. Use of the framework is illustrated with examples from practice. Copyright © 1981, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
