Home-Based Family Therapy: A Misunderstanding of the Role and a New Challenge for Therapists

Liliana Cortes

University of British Columbia

The family therapy field has hesitantly incorporated the home-based family therapy modality. Today, there are a number of agencies offering home-based family therapy in response to the increasing need to reach out to multifaceted problem families and to ensure the continuity and effectiveness of treatments. Nonetheless, there is little research and literature supporting this approach, and no clear guidelines for home-based therapy practice have been developed to date. Many academic institutes fail to train therapists in this area, despite the fact that it is a growing market trend. This article examines the literature describing home-based therapy, provides an analysis of its weaknesses and strengths, and formulates some considerations for therapists interested in its practice.

Key Words: family therapy • home-based therapy • in-home services • family intervention • therapeutic alliance
