Which one of the following is NOT a true statement about the role of the counselor within Structural Family Therapy?
a. A primary goal is restructuring the family systems with the aim of developing clear boundaries and dealing with underlying conflicts.
b. While the therapist may invite family members to begin exploring new strategies, ultimately, the family itself activates the alternatives that will lead to lasting (second order) change.
c. The structural therapist is active, motivating, and facilitating family interactions within the session.
d. Therapists take on a passive and directive role within this model.

B. While the therapist may invite family members to begin exploring new strategies, ultimately, the family itself activates the alternatives that will lead to lasting(Second order) change.

Explanation:

I think B will be the only option as Structural family therapy focuses on addressing the issues and patterns which lies in the interaction of families and create problems for them. If family has to do everything on its own than whats the role of counselor here. Hence B is correct.

Good Luck. :)

d. Therapists take on a passive and directive role within this model.

Explanation:

Structural family therapy (SFT) is known to be a method of psychotherapy that was developed by Salvador Minuchin in 1974.

Structural family therapy (SFT) can be described as a type of family therapy that  focuses on direct interactions between the family members (enactment) as the primary method of inducing positive change. In this aspect, the structural therapist focuses on what is taking place among people, rather than on individual psyches.

Structural family therapy makes use of many concepts to organize and understand the family. These include, structure, subsystems, boundaries, enmeshment, disengagement, power, alignment and coalition.

In conclusion, in structural family therapy, it should be understood that the therapist does not take on a passive role within the model.
