- What's Anya Mind?
Today, we're diving into one of the most significant Marriage and Family Therapy models-- Strategic Family Therapy which was pioneered by Jay Haley. We'll be covering main concepts such as second order change, view of the problem, and main techniques such as directives and paradoxical interventions. Everything that you want to know should be in this video, and if you have other questions feel free to write them in the comments below!
I have to credit AATBS for providing the anchor for these videos, I have a link to their study materials below. They helped me pass the national exam!

I learned more from you than from the book. Thanks for explaining it so well.
Aw thank you! I’m so glad that you found it helpful.
I love it. Thank you. Could you do MRI PLEASE??
I completely agree.. this is how I ended up here on this channel. My course textbook is not helpful at the moment 😢😢😪😪
Your not telling a lie
Me too! This channel is very informative!
This is an amazing video, I really needed to watch this. I’ve been stuck in the pain of losing my husband. I used to think breakups were easy, but now that my husband has left me, I feel completely broken. I can’t even eat or take care of our kids! I need him back so much. I’ve tried everything to get him back, but he doesn’t want our marriage anymore.
I feel your pain, dear. I don’t think anyone can truly understand the pain I went through when my partner left me. I couldn’t have children, and I thought I would never get through it. But then, a friend of mine introduced me to a spiritual counselor, and he helped me reconnect with my partner. Now, I’m happy with my husband, and we have two beautiful kids.
Wow, that’s incredible! Please, who is this counselor, and how can I reach him? I don’t think I can bear this pain any longer.
His name is Father Akabu. You can look him up I’m certain he can help you. No one should have to go through this kind of pain.
Thank you so much, you are an angel sent by God. I’m definitely reaching out to him.
What most people don't know is that almost of them were students of Milton Erickson. Shall mention some of them: Hayley, Weakland, Minuchin, Watzlawick, Including Bateson and Steve deShazer and Insoo Kim Berg, Rossi and so on . How did the name Double Bind came from? It came from Erickson as he had been using bind and double binds for couple of decades. Strategic and Solution focused brief therapy are both extentions of Milton Erickson work. For those that don't know. Erickson is the most studied and written about psychotherapist of all time. He is also the most effective and efficient therapist of all time. Also has more documented case studies than anyone else. To this day no other therapist has contributed in so many areas of psychiatry and psychotherapy in the past century. I recommend Erickson and want you that no matter how skilled and educated you are studying Erickson would be the challenge of your career. Objectively speaking.
P.s also Cloe Madanes.
It's overwhelming, isn't it. Erickson also had deep and profound relationship with Aldus Huxley
Currently studying for the licensure exam and ive struggled so much to keep the structural, strategic, and system family models seperate, so this morning I found your videos and they are helping me SO much. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I'm currently a MFT student in grad school, I'm having the same issue keeping them separated with so much overlap. I wish you well on the licensure exam!
Would love to see you cover Psychodynamic Theory (Object Relations). LOVE your videos!
Studying for the NCE and this video just saved me, thank you for your relatable and clear instructions
I absolutely love your videos. They are extremely helpful when it comes to assimilating these theories. As tech evolves so does the way people learn. Sometimes reading information does not get processed the same way as a lecture does especially for newer generations. I am so happy that you are providing this information. An excellent use of TH-cam!
I'm studying for the LMHC licensing exam and I've been really struggling to understand the difference between structural and strategic family therapy. Your teaching is really helping me to finally understand and retain the theories - I'm so grateful! Thank you for sharing your work and improving our field.
I found you today and have a feeling your videos will help me get through this first year at NU/NCU. Your voice is like a friend saying, "Here, let me help" as I read and reread all the technical words. Thanks for making it interesting, and helping better understand. Liked and Subscribed.
I’ve been panicking daily about remembering theories and desperately searched for a way to understand and your video is finally giving me the knowledge I need! This is the first time I’m feeling peace in days, thank you!!
That means so much to me. I’m glad that this helped you find peace. You’ve got this, Sienna ♥️
i like how clear and short you summarize these!!
These help immensely to support my EPPP studying!
Seriously watching this was a breath of fresh air. All praises to the Father. 🙌🏾. It's funny because one of my course resources was your video. My school (NCU) had your video linked as a recommendation to watch for my assignment. I am so thankful for that. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain each model!! 😊
I AM SO happy, my professor told me to watch this video,, I am presently working as a therapist, and in school to get my second masters degree. I love the ideas of family therapy,
I started my journey at NCU because of you. Thank you for helping me finally decide on a path. This video helped me with my current studies in my class. The explanations really help me grasp this concept. Please keep posting and Thank you !
I'm attending NCU and I'm enrolled in the MFT program as well. I would love to connect with you.
I attend NCU too!
I love, love, love your videos! I often find them more helpful to my personal understanding of the material than the textbooks and the lesson videos assigned in my classes. Awesome job! Keep 'em coming!
So glad that they’re helpful!
Omg thank you so much for doing this videos. Can you do MRI and Milan as well. Thanks again !!!
I agree those 2 models confuses me
Thank you SO much! Studying for my LCE and you are really helping! Love it!
I am testing for the MFT Exam next month...I am locked completely into your channel!!! Thank you!!!
Very well explained! I watched this before my exam, and it helped a lot! Thanks!
Thank you so much for explaining it so well. I was struggling to differentiate between family therapies for my upcoming LMHC exam but after watching your videos, I am more confident about these topics. Thank you.
wow- 2 weeks into school right now & its an online program and this is SO helpful. I hope to keep coming back to give insight to my reading!
currently studying for my EPPP and these videos have been a game changer! thank you!!
Thank you, Steph Anya. I am in a human services class right now and I am writing a paper with a scenario being a 17-year-old female having problems after her parent's divorce and they remarry. I have to give my initial thoughts and do an assessment of the case providing therapy that I think would work for the given situation. Thank you for explaining this in detail. I FINALLY understand it. The lecture they gave this week was pretty vague as far as what it all means. I will continue to watch your videos and learn more. I want to become an affective chemical dependency counselor. This will help me so much. Have a great weekend.
It's super helpful to do my readings but also then watching the videos. It solidifies the concepts for me. Thank you!
Watching your videos is giving me the courage that I need to think about taking the licensure exam once again. I have worked in the field for over twenty years facilitating groups for domestic violence and other related jobs that do not require a license. I am a person who has worked through many challenges and it is my lifelong to get my LMFT. You are amazing, thank you so much! Rosanne
I look at strategic therapy as reverse psychology it’s just a easier way for me to remember in my brain what it looks like thank you for the video
Thank you for your exceptional way of explaining these models, it takes away the frustration and the guesswork. You are a gifted teacher, so I can only imagine your skills as an LMFT.
Aw! Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for posting these videos. I'm prepping for my (undergrad) MFT end semester exams and these videos make information easily digestible.
i am taking marriage and counseling classes and wow I am blessed to have you (because I don't plan to buy the book due to economic issues)
You are God-sent. Please keep educating us. You have made the MFT theories much easier to understand.
Thank you
So glad to hear that! ♥️ Thank you!
Steph can you cover MRI therapy? I love your videos, I am a current masters degree student and I am so thankful for your videos before and after reading my text books. You make it easy to understand! Thanks for the blessing!

I found your channel studying for my social work licensure exam. So well done! All the videos are clear & helpful.

I’ve got you! I already have one on the communication stances that you may find helpful.
I really enjoy your videos. They are well prepared and explained. Thank you!
Thank you for watching! 🤗
I understood this easy and clear explanation as if it was in my native language. Great Job!
Glad it helped!
Thank you! Yes, could you please do a video on MRI. I get Strategic, MRI, and Milan confused all the time.
This is so extremely helpful in studying for the LMFT exam. So glad I found you.
Such a lovely, realistic explanation.
As a MFT student this was amazing and it helped me out a lot to better understand the content. Thank You. I learned today from your video that I am the Strategic Model
I’m so glad that you found a model that resonates with you!
Love your videos ! They have been super helpful as I am preparing for my exam! Could you do a video on helpful tips on how to answer ethics questions on the MFT exam?
Confirmed - would love a video detailing the history of the MRI!
Got it!
Thank you for making it so simple, I'm learning more from you than grad school :)
Yes, please do a video explaining MRI, also a video with lots of examples of first, second and third order changes! Not much examples online
Your videos are helping me review for my counselling theories final! thank you so much :)
This is fantastic! I so appreciate your thoroughness. I have a deeper understanding of SFT now. Thank you!
Thanks so much for these videos! I'm prepping for my comp exam for my masters program and I was really struggling to separate strategic and structural family therapy in my head!
I enjoy your theory videos. They are so helpful. I am studying for the MFT exam now.
Steph, you did such a wonderful job explaining this theory. The green book left me confused btwn MRI and Strategic. I love that you provided an intro of Haley and used the same case example all throughout. I liked and subscribed. I will be watching these after doing my readings in preparation for the National MFT Exam. Super glad I found you. -- I did notice that you did not review enactments.
Hi Maria! I’m so glad that you found this helpful! The models have so many similarities. I can’t go into depth about everything, so I usually just highlight what’s in my AATBS book. Maybe I could make a separate video about enactments! Thanks for letting me know ♥️
I was going to note the same. Pretend techniques
PMHMP student here, this is on point. Coincides perfectly with Wheeler 2022
I am studying for my SW exams and these videos are so so helpful! Thank you Steph, I appreciate your time and effort.
I appreciate you for watching!
Thank you for this. This is helping me so much for the NCE!!
You’ve got this!!
This was absolutely wonderful. Well articulated. Thanks.
Thanks! Great job explaining and really well produced.
I'm a newbie to your channel. Great content for me to review leading up to my social work licensing exam and beyond.
your videos have been exceptionally helpful. Thank you!!!
I’m interning right now and was just assigned my first family. I’m so nervous, this video is so helpful because the books are soo dull and makes it hard for me to focus 😭
Thank you for explaining this model in a way that's easier to understand! I'm a current MFCC student, and I find your explanations to be incredibly helpful.
Love your vibe and how your teach us!
Thanks so much for watching!
My professor said that Cloe's name is pronounced "Madonnas" (I was saying the way you say it) :) -- love your info
this is good my group is studying this right now. I would like to request CBT please i really enjoy your style of seeing the models :) once again thank you for all you do .
Well organized and great examples
Thanks for the video. You did a good job of discussing strategic family therapy but maybe a little over-simplified.
seriously, you are amazing!! Loved every video!
Aw thanks so much!

I am in graduate school for social work right now and this video helped me understand and appreciate Strategic Family Therapy in greater detail!! The book was so confusing to me and your use of examples was so very helpful!!! Thank you 🤍
Thank you for making these fabulous videos!! :)
Great content! Very helpful! Thankyou
Please do all the theories. I love your site
Thank you so much for this video. I am starting my first track 1 residency
Congrats!!
I appreciate your examples of the interventions but I have a questions in regards to the paradoxical and positioning intervention. How can we know if the family may be appropriate for this intervention? Is it more intuitive or is there a criteria? You mentioned that this can quickly go amiss with families because it can spark up a lot of tension that can potentially lead to violence so I just want to know what families we can implement this intervention to. I also have a concern when implementing positioning. You also mentioned that with this intervention you are exaggerating the symptoms. With the example that you gave couldn’t it potentially go amiss as well? Lets use your example, you said “ yeah, when you guys are arguing because you hate each other” the goal is to stop and make them realize that their problem is not as big as it seems. My problem with this is well what happens if they get into a huge argument and the statement you mentioned “because you hate each other” come back into mind and they trick themselves into thinking, “wait I think I may actually hate my partner”. We then now have another problem of resolving these new feelings. I only thought of this because I thought of a person who may potentially have BPD who’s feelings are a bit more unregulated if it is not being treated let alone not diagnosed therefore not receiving treatment.
Yes, please make a video on MRI!
This was a really helpful overview.
