Print CE Course


Structural Family Therapy
Adrian and Judy are skeptical about therapy. They have been to several therapists to try to understand their daughter Pam’s anger, and are frustrated with the lack of improvement in Pam’s behavior. Finally, in this session with Aponte, they are on their way to making positive changes in the family dynamic. Aponte masterfully forms an alliance with Pam, a difficult-to-reach woman in her thirties with developmental limitations, by connecting with her humanity through curiosity and direct engagement. He demonstrates key principles of Structural Therapy by focusing on concrete day-to-day issues and engaging actively with all three family members to help them understand the underlying conflicts beneath Pam’s anger. Aponte strikes a delicate balance of meeting the family on their terms, and yet confidently making observations as well as asserting what they need to do to make the changes they so desperately desire.

In this three-part video, Aponte discusses his approach to family therapy, conducts a real session with this challenging family, and then offers commentary about the session. Aponte’s responses to questions from an audience of therapists further elucidate the rationale behind his interventions. If you’ve ever struggled with how to engage a hard-to-reach client or are curious about applying a structural approach to therapeutic work with challenging families, this video will prove to be both inspiring and instructive.

Part of the 10-DVD series: Family Therapy with the Experts.
"Like life, like therapy – this thought-provoking video with master therapist, Harry J. Aponte, is more than the sum of its parts. A  seasoned Structural Family Therapist, Aponte brings to life  the roots of the hallowed Philadelphia Child  Guidance Clinic led by Sal Minuchin– a place  where community, poverty,  clinicians,  researchers, the streets and the  families were all held with a respectful diversity for ideas and for  people. What we are treated to in this video is slice of what real growth and self-inquiry looks like. Aponte’s  genuine engagement, his own  honest and deep capacity to connect, to look into his own soul, and to acknowledge the spiritual life in himself and others, is what sets his work and this masterful lesson apart.  A real treat!!"
 - Jay Lappin, LCSW

"I’ve seen this DVD at least 12 times, and have learned something new each time I have watched it! I am planning to continue to view it, as it has greatly enhanced my own work with families. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to learn from a true master."
 - John Turner, LCSW, Lynchburg, VA
