가족은 사회라는 구조 속에 존재하는 한 집단으로서 서로의 행동에 영향을 주고받으 며 살아가는 또 하나의 구조를 갖는 조직이 다. 가족은 사회의 존속과 질서유지를 위해 자녀에게 사회의 기본적인 가치관을 심어주고 사회역할을 준비시키고 개인의 생활목표를 사 회가치에 맞도록 조화시켜 나가는 등의 필 수적인 기능을 하는 제도(Olson & DeFrain, 2003)이다.
This study focused on a family therapy case with an IP(11th grade) who had been treated with medications for 5 years ever since IP was diagnosed with ADHD in 3rd grade. The IP was facing school expulsion due to violent behaviors and truancy. The parents were becoming overwhelmed by dysfunctional relationships within the family, improper power hierarchies, cross-generational coalition, and disputes between husband and wife, resulting in victimization of children as scapegoats and destruction of subsystem by unclear boundaries. To restructure the family system, the therapy was conducted to recover family relationships and proper parental authority and composed of 8 sessions ( 90-minutes per session) from September to November of 2015. Therapy was conducted based on the four step model of structural family therapy. Following sessions, IP's truancy and the coalition between mother and daughter were solved, and the family system changed. The relationship between parents and children as well as between spouses recovered when participants were able to recognize that presented problems were in fact parental problems. This case study suggests that the application of structural family therapy model is an effective and useful way to help struggling families by guiding them through change in the family structure and restructuring hierarchy of authority in the family.
