Family therapy is usually provided by clinical social workers or licensed therapists known as marriage and family therapists.
Family therapy may include all family members or just those most able to participate.
The specific treatment plan will depend on a particular family's situation.
You can use family therapy to address many specific issues, such as marital and financial problems, conflict between parents and children, and the effects of substance abuse and depression on the entire family.

Obsessions are intrusive, irrational thoughts that drive a person to certain behaviors.
For example, a person may become obsessed with hand hygiene and may, therefore, be driven to wash their hands continuously.
While the individual may sense that this is irrational, they cannot control their desire to address the situation.
Compulsions drive an individual to perform actions over and over and over again.
Specific examples include hand washing, counting, checking, hoarding, or arranging.
While completing these actions may give the individual a sense of relief, they provide no satisfaction.
