FAMILY REUNION: NETWORKS AND TREATMENT IN A NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITY

Abstract

An overview of the differences between traditional group psychotherapy and social network approaches provides an opportunity for clinicians to consider the context within which they work. A comparison of the beliefs inherent in each treatment approach and a discussion of the practical differences for both clients and therapists as they experience the alternatives offers a framework for therapists to consider both their current models as well as new areas to explore.
