Summary:
Watch integrative family therapy in action as Kenneth Hardy applies his holistic approach in a family therapy session with a single African-American mother and her teenage daughter. Hardy creates a nonjudgmental space for both mother and daughter to tell their stories, while acknowledging the compexity of the situation by bringing the broader social context into the therapy room. The discussions before and after the session provide insight into Hardy's distinctive style as he illuminates key features of the integrative approach, particularly how all behavior is best understood when considered within the context in which it is embedded.
