Carl Whitaker used experiential family therapy to emphasize the importance of emotional expression and genuine interactions within the family unit. He believed that therapy should be a dynamic and spontaneous process, allowing families to engage in real-time experiences that reveal underlying issues. By encouraging open dialogue and emotional vulnerability, Whitaker aimed to help families confront their conflicts and strengthen their relationships. His approach often included creative techniques, such as role-playing and symbolic play, to foster deeper connections and insights.

Experiential therapy came from humanistic therapy and the experiential therapy I will be addressing here is Carl Whitaker's, Experiential-Symbolic Therapy. Experiential therapy focuses on what is happening right now, the "here and now." Although the past and the present are discussed in therapy, the experiential therapist focuses more on bringing up issues that are affecting the family by emotionally charging the therapeutic session. The therapist does this to agitate the family, challenge roles, family rules and encourage individual growth and authenticity among one another. This becomes a symbolic experience, because the therapeutic session in itself become a group of pivotal moments and experiences; symbolic moments. This is my personal understanding of this theory and should be cross-referenced for accuracy.

I found the following on www.coping.org/write/C6444/Family%20Therapy.ppt, a power point by James Messina, Ph.D. on March 21, 2009 on Carl Whitaker's Experiential Symbolic Therapy: -A freewheeling, intuitive, sometimes outrageous approach aiming to: - Unmask pretense, create new meaning, and liberate family members to be themselves - Techniques are secondary to the therapeutic relationship - Pragmatic and atheoretical - Interventions create turmoil and intensify what is going on here and now in the family - Subjective Focus: subjective needs of the family members - Assumption all family members have a right to be themselves - Needs of family may be suppressing rights of the individual - Goal for authenticity, no right or wrong way to be - Pragmatic stance - Theory can be hindrance to clinical work - Often times theory is way for therapist to create distance from clients and control anxiety of the therapist to hide behind - Intensify present experiencing of family members to reach unconscious to understand what is really going on in the family - Process to help tap into: Family secrets just keeping the secrets keeps the family crazy - Facilitate individual autonomy and a sense of belonging in the family - Help individuals achieve more intimacy by increasing their awareness and their experiencing - Encourage members to be themselves by freely expressing what they are thinking and feeling - Support spontaneity, creativity, the ability to play, and the willingness to be "crazy" - Create family turmoil - Coach family how to get out of the turmoil - Highly involved therapist model: must be transparent, take risks, get involved with family in the sessions - Help family member experience the here and now by therapist "BEING WITH" the family - Three phases: engagement (all powerful), involvement (dominant parent figure, adviser) & disentanglement (more personal, less involved)
