Asian Academy of Family Therapy 亞洲家庭治療學院 A non-profit organization of leading family therapy educators, clinicians, policy makers, researcher

People live in a circuitry of relationships, and family relationship has great impact on the manifestation and healing of individual problems. However, human service practitioners have traditionally focused on treating the individual and are unprepared to deal with the complex family issues of contemporary society. Our work has proven that many behavioral and emotional problems in adults and children are merely reactions to interpersonal issues in the family and the larger society. Getting the family to resolve their conflicts is a far more useful and cost effective approach in relieving family members from their distresses. Having established the HKU Family Institute (HKUFI), the same group of visionaries deems it timely to form the AFT in their continuous effort to lead such a paradigm shift. In 2015, AFT has become AAFT, in order to expand its work to include other Asian family therapists. The AAFT is an independent organization that aims to raise the family therapy profession to a higher profile, set the standard, and enhance the professional development of family therapy practitioners in the region.

【三代同堂各享千秋】
三代同堂,是很讓人羨慕的一回事。一家大小一同上酒樓,也是中國家庭的一大特色。但是怎樣才能做到代代有愛,而不是互相糾纏?
這個家庭來我們的跨代家庭中心時,是因為孩子出了問題。兩個孩子,一個五歲,一個七歲。父母因為工作關係,把孩子交給外公外婆看管。兩代人因為管教方式不同,尤其母親與外婆,不停碰撞。不只是婆媳容易產生矛盾,母女爭持起來,有時吵得更利害,針針見血。
雖說問題是孩子難教。但是當我們探討這三代六口的關係時,發現兩個孩子都是很安詳地坐在一旁畫畫,一點兒也沒有不聽教的跡象。倒是母親對外婆有很大控訴,嫌她太寵孩子,沒有跟從母親的指引,嫌她不夠警覺,讓孩子亂吃東西。反正就是怪她沒有把孩子管好,讓孩子變得情緒化,行為失控......

Don't miss the chance to join Dr. Wai Yung Lee and her clinical team in case formulation and live family interviews.
Our Live Case Demonstration is an important feature of AAFT, providing a platform for clinical and intellectual exchange among professionals from different cultures. It provides a rare opportunity for participants to take part in the case formulation and live family interviews conducted by Wai Yung Lee, Ph.D. and other experienced family therapy trainers. The cases cover a spectrum of developmental issues and are referred by professionals from various disciplines. Our approach is trans-disciplinary-oriented, including the fields of psychiatry, psychology, social work, pediatrics, and family medicine.
