Contemporary family dynamics face significant challenges that threaten their integrity and functionality. The article “Perspectivas de la Clínica de Salud del Sistema Familiar” by James Yhon Robles Pinto and Fabiano de Abreu Agrela Rodrigues, published in the journal Cognitiones (2023), offers a detailed analysis of how systemic interventions can promote health and family resilience in in the face of growing psychosocial crises.
Diagnosis and Intervention in the Family System
The Family System Health Clinic was established with the aim of diagnosing and intervening in family structures, understanding their functions and rules. The accurate diagnosis of family dynamics allows the application of specific techniques and strategies for each case, promoting harmony between family subsystems. This systemic-relational method seeks to restructure the family system through intervention programs that include family education, family system health diagnosis and systemic intervention at the individual, couple, family and multifamily levels (Robles Pinto & Rodrigues, 2023).
Levels of Intervention
Intervention programs are implemented at multiple levels, aiming to train teams to replicate training protocols and offer prevention, diagnosis and intervention services. Training professionals is fundamental to the effectiveness of the program, ensuring that they have the skills to carry out accurate diagnoses and effective interventions. These professionals include family educators, psychologists, social workers and other specialists who work directly with families (Robles Pinto & Rodrigues, 2023).
Family Monitoring and Development: This level involves training family advisors to provide ongoing support to families at risk, promoting the integration and development of family subsystems. The methodology used aims to strengthen the economic and emotional capabilities of families, facilitating the transition through family life cycles (Robles Pinto & Rodrigues, 2023).
Family Systemic Education : At this level, family educators work directly with families to improve their parenting skills and promote healthy lifestyles. Interventions include the development of family life projects and the introduction of adaptive techniques to face changes and crises (Robles Pinto & Rodrigues, 2023).
Family System Health Diagnosis : Using specific instruments, such as genograms and echograms, professionals assess the current state of family dynamics. This diagnosis allows the identification of problems and potential, guiding health promotion and disease prevention actions (Robles Pinto & Rodrigues, 2023).
Systemic Intervention in Families : Systemic family therapy addresses problems generated in the context of family relationships, seeking to generate positive changes in interactions . This effective method considers the family system as a whole, intervening in interaction patterns to produce significant changes (Robles Pinto & Rodrigues, 2023).
Supervision Models : Continuous supervision of professionals involved in interventions is crucial to guarantee the quality of care. This reflective and self-care process helps to improve professionals’ skills, allowing adjustments and improvements in the techniques used (Robles Pinto & Rodrigues, 2023).
Conclusion
The systemic and multidisciplinary approach proposed by the Family System Health Clinic proves to be an effective strategy to face contemporary family crises. By training professionals and implementing specific intervention programs, it is possible to promote resilience and harmony in families, contributing to strengthening the fundamental core of society.
