One Way Mirror Training in Evolving Structural-Strategic
Family Therapy (ESSFT)
In this training, the team members will be meeting to discuss the plan for each session for the 30 min before the session starts, then will observe the live session (all via Zoom). The team will call in with suggestions during the session, and then after the session, the team will discuss what worked and what didn’t. We will be using Evolving Structural Strategic Family Therapy, which is a four stage, transdiagnostic model for working with children/adolescents and families. For this training, we will be working with a 13 year old boy and his family, where they are struggling with ADHD, OCD, and Oppositional Defiance Disorder. This is a family that will be continuing after working with our mirror team in a different modality during the spring of 2024. ESSFT uses a four stage approach, first with assessment and engagement, then preparing the parents and preparing the adolescent, moving into creating structure, and then once there is containment, strengthening the attachment. We will be integrating evidence based approaches and techniques to help this family stabilize and thrive. If you have not taken the training on ESSFT, you can purchase it on demand here, called Integrating Family Therapy with Children and Adolescents: https://www.sfiap.com/on-demand-workshops.html.
