Probable Sustainance

Probable dominance is a helpful piece of information that the therapist might use in order to understand the dynamics and interactions amongst the family members. The therapist needs to be aware that whoever member is sees as more dominant needs to be managed in a way in which he or she doesn’t feel excluded or undermined but also ensuring that everybody else in the family is able to participate in the sessions. For example, the therapist might say to the dominant person that his contribution is welcome and that in just a moment the therapist will come back to the person after the other family member is able to contribute to the
conversation.
