Breaking the Pattern of Interruption in Family Therapy

Frank M. Dattilio

Harvard Medical School, frankdattilio{at}cs.com

Family therapists almost invariably will encounter family members who aggressively interrupt other members in an attempt to communicate their version of a particular story or express their emotions. This article presents a technique that I have found effective for helping couples and family members contain their impulsive urge to interrupt other members' self-expressions.

Key Words: family therapy • verbal aggression • family roles • interruption of self-expression • cognitive therapy
