What do we mean by family?
Family may be Crucial resource for helping a child Family events may predispose or
precipitate a problem Families may inadvertently maintain a
problem important source of information Affected by a child’s problem. Supporter of other interventions
Working with families essential part of CAMHS but not always done by trained professionals.
Systemic Family Practice in CYP-IAPT Has joined CBT, parent training and IPT
as evidence based approaches supported by training.
Specific focus on SFP for conduct disorder, depression and self harm, and eating disorders
Aim to improve services by “skilling up” CAMHS professionals to work more effectively with Families.
Systemic Family Practice and Systemic Family Therapy SFP is based on the same theoretical
and evidence base as SFT but denotes an intermediate level of training. Systemic Family Therapists will have another 2 years of training and be equipped to deal with the most challenging work and to move more flexibly across age range and presentations.

practitioners in the field especially those connected with the main sources of evidence.
Eia Asen, Paula Boston. Charlotte Burke, David Cotterell, Ivan Eisler, Judith Lask, Barbara Mackay, Mark Rivett, Tom Sexton From the beginning supported by the

Availability of family focused, evidence based interventions which have specific applicability to presenting problem
Pathway to further training The Systemic Family practice curriculum
has been designed so that successful candidates should be able to enter the final 2 years of family therapy training leading to registration with UKCP.
Supervised practice There is a strong emphasis well
supervised practice by supervisors who are ideally registered with AFT as systemic supervisors as well as completing the CYP-IAPT supervision training.
Practice will be undertaken with a general caseload as well as specialist caseload (a minimum of 60 hours of supervised practice)
Some wider reverberations
Recursive process CYP IAPT developments have influenced AFT in
revising training standards Systemic Practitioners and therapist are becoming
more familiar and comfortable with ROMS The flexibility and adaptation which is a strength
of systemic work is being complemented by a greater understanding of the need for more specificity when working with particular presentations
Impact of learning from other modalities, working together, supervision, common factors, difference
The inclusion of Systemic Family Practice will hopefully bring More understanding of the importance of family and wider
context Understanding of the importance of a good, collaborative
therapeutic relationship with family Understanding of complex ethical issues in working with families More appreciation of culture and working with power in relation
to marginalized groups Need to adapt interventions to fit with presenting families and
be able to work in the here and now, with perceptions and with history
Importance of working with family as a resource and identifying and building on strengths.
The important connections between beliefs, behaviors, emotions and relationships.
