In the family therapy approach, do you see any disadvantages in not meeting with her individually in therapy?

Explanation
Any potential problem arising from attending both family and individual therapy can be addressed through counsellors giving those individuals tips on standing up by themselves in cases where they are dealing with anger or other difficult moods. Counsellors can offer people the opportunity to identify factors that contribute to their difficulties. Family therapy is also affected by disadvantages that are it becomes more challenging when one of the family members decides not to participate in the therapy. Once family therapy begins it is very difficult to see family situations and your perceptions may be altered resulting in negative feelings in denial of unhealthy family patterns.
