Family
Therapy Workshop
Ms Banu Moloney
Rutherford
Hotel, Nelson
Tuesday
14th September
8.30am
– 4.00pm
Cost - $150
This full day workshop is an opportunity to explore the current
practise of family therapy in New Zealand and Australia, and consider
future pathways for further development in New Zealand CAMH/AOD
services.
The morning will provide a context for the day with a presentation by
Ms Banu Moloney, a lecturer in Family Therapy at the Bouverie Centre,
La Trobe University, Melbourne. The abstract for Banu’s
presentation is as follows:
‘Family Therapy began with the wish to move away from pathologising
problem behaviours. In the effort to be pure to family therapy theories
families and mothers in particular felt blamed. But to what extent did
family therapy simply move from diagnosing the psyche to diagnosing the
family. Looking back, we might argue that early theories were
too normative. “You are not a good family unless …” Feminist
critiques in particular have helped family therapy to become more truly
systemic. With increased cultural sensitivity and with more
humility, family therapy theories now sit more readily alongside other
therapeutic lenses that emphasise important insights arising out of
grief and loss, trauma and attachment theories.
This presentation will address using case examples how a systemic
approach can be used respectfully and collaboratively to engage
individuals and important people in their context’.
In the afternoon there will be an opportunity to hear about family
therapy work being undertaken in New Zealand followed by a facilitated
discussion on the future of family therapy in New Zealand.

This
workshop is for clinicians working in NGO’s, CAMHS and Maternal MHS who
have no/minimal training and experience around observing parent-child
interaction and structuring the observations to usefully describe the
relationships, formulate and plan interventions. In Infant Mental
Health it is essential to assess the infant’s relationship with
parents/carers and the most commonly accepted processes use film of
interaction. This workshop will support clinicians to begin filming
interaction, analyse the film and develop a formulation utilising
the Relationship Problems Checklist [RPCL] and the Parent-Infant
Relationship Global Assessment Scale [PIR-GAS] from Axis II of DC:
0-3R.
The workshop is for a maximum of 20 clinicians.
Participants
will need to do some reading and film a parent and child [0-4 years]

participants as soon as registration is confirmed.
