Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between self-injurious behavior and family system characteristics. The researchers identified family therapy intervention strategies for a child with self-injurious behavior and examined their process and effectiveness.
Methods: The data, which consisted of recordings and transcripts from 10 sessions of family therapy, were analyzed using constant comparative analysis, Miles & Huberman’s matrix, and network display.
Results: Dysfunctional communication patterns and conflicts with the family of origin were found to be factors influencing the child’s self-injurious behavior. The researchers identified several family therapy intervention strategies for the self-injurious behavior and detailed the changes in the family members’ relationships based on those interventions.
Conclusions: The family therapy interventions enhanced the family members’ functional communication skills and decreased the child’s self-injurious behavior.
