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 child

ren 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.

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.

【沉浸「子宮之海」】
說到雙魚座,就不得不提守護星海王星。

本文的探討將會引述英國占星學家及心理學家 Liz Greene 著作 “The Astrological Neptune and the Quest for Redemption” 的中譯版:《海王星:生命是一場追尋救贖的旅程》對海王星象徵意義的描述。

人渴望與他人連結,從孤獨中獲得救贖,占星學中,象徵這份救贖的渴望便是海王星。而人與人第一份連結,便是胎兒與母親的連結,這份連結也正正孕育在「子宮之海」中。海水既是孕育生命的泉源,也是消滅個體的威脅......

【Jockey Club Family Therapy Programme:Public Talk - The Application of the Multiple Self Model (MSM) for Chinese Wives of Problem Gamblers】

In this talk, we will explore how the Chinese Women’s Multiple Selves Model (MSM) illuminates the shifting identities of Chinese wives of problem gamblers in Hong Kong. We will examine how these women embody multiple interconnected selves that are constantly evolving and competing, providing a fresh perspective on their identities within family dynamics.
Additionally, we will discuss the therapeutic technique known as “shift of self” and its application in supporting these wives. We will also explore how MSM can be effectively combined with other family therapy approaches and adapted to various contexts.

This workshop is the second in a series, following the session on June 25, 2025. While it builds on previous discussions, the topics will be presented in a way that is accessible without prior knowledge of the June workshop.

【跨代家庭的前因後果】
為了準備一個有關跨代家庭的工作坊,一直忙着整理這一方面的臨床資料。這個由李錦記家族慈善基金所資助的項目,主要是研討跨代家庭各種人際關係的動力,從而瞭解多代家庭的運作及改善方向。

很多人以為跨代家庭的工作就是探討原身家庭,其實範圍遠不止如此。所有代與代之間的各種因緣和合,關係的衝擊,情緒的起落;愛的喜悅,情的牽掛、失落和無奈,這些經驗都是形成我們個性發展和精神健康的關鍵。

跨代家庭有一個重要的理念:很多無法解釋的問題,都可以追溯到一些數代前沒有解決的矛盾。我特別喜歡由孩子開始,因為從孩子出現的問題,往往都可以追溯到家族的千絲萬縷,老中青三代的代代相連。

有趣的是,近代所見到的跨代家庭,不但涉及三代或三代以上,而且還多了很多重組家庭,這對一脈相承的傳統思想是一個很大的挑戰......

【賽馬會家庭治療計劃:互動工作坊 - 支援夫婦共同面對生育挑戰-從醫學到婚姻關係的全面關懷】
當懷孕計劃遇阻時,夫婦需要醫學與心理的雙重支持。本講座由婦產科醫生與家庭治療師共同主講,從「雙軌角度」切入:本工作坊首先解析難孕常見原因,包括年齡、荷爾蒙與精卵品質等關鍵指標,提供各年齡層懷孕成功率數據,幫助夫婦科學規劃生育時程。內容涵蓋月經周期觀察、小產後恢復評估等自我管理技巧,以及IUI/IVF等輔助生育療程選項的適用情境與流程,並分析高齡妊娠風險管理。
同時工作坊同樣著重伴侶溝通,分享如何解讀診斷報告,避免伴侶間互相指責與愧疚,並探討夫婦在治療過程中的角色調整與情感支持,如何開放討論其他家庭計劃的替代方案。透過專業醫療知識與心理支持技巧,協助夫婦建立有效溝通,強化伴侶關係,共同面對生育挑戰。
本工作坊特別保留問答時間,歡迎帶著您的疑問前來,與講者和其他經歷相似挑戰的夫婦交流。

【阿執司的「我」與「我們」】
《虎毒不》是一套2025年上映的香港電影。它是一個關於新手媽媽患上抑鬱症的故事,也是一套讓我們反思「我」與「我們」的電影。

淑貞與丈夫及奶奶一起居住。她一直渴望生兒育女,做一個媽媽。好不容易終於懷孕並誕下女兒,但初為人母的快樂好像只得那麼一陣子。坐月子後,淑貞想兼顧麵包師傅的工作和育兒。可惜事與願違,諸事不順。工作間沒有一個可以讓她安心衛生地泵取人奶的地方,餵哺母乳又導致乳腺發炎,疼痛不已。繁忙的工作後再要照顧嬰兒,疲憊的程度可想而知,經常兩面不是人。淑貞堅持做一個出色的麵包師傅,同時也希望自己是一個一百分的媽媽。可惜奶奶對她的冷嘲熱諷和丈夫的被動不合作態度,比起身體上的痛楚和疲乏,更叫她難受。身邊所遭遇到的事和別人所說的話,好像都告訴她,她的每一個信念和所堅持的東西,都是徒然的。淑貞的「我」逐漸被吞噬,她的精神一天比一天萎靡⋯⋯
