Techniques and Interventions

The experiential approach requires the clinician to be highly active and can vary between being structured or spontaneous depending on the clinician’s style. Specific techniques that are used for experiential family therapy include family sculpting, family puppet interviews, and family art therapy (Nichols & Davis, 2020). Before briefly describing each technique, it is important to note that the therapist and family work together using personal interaction (including touch from both the therapist and family members), open communication and the creation of experiences to foster growth among the family as a whole.
