The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed so many aspects of our lives. For psychotherapists, telehealth is likely a permanent part of the future mental health landscape. For family therapists using a manualized treatment, this brings unique challenges and creative opportunities. In this article, we describe the adaptation of attachment-based family therapy (ABFT) in the context of telehealth and COVID-19. ABFT is an empirically supported treatment model designed for adolescents and young adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and suicide. ABFT is a semi-structured, process-oriented, and trauma-informed family therapy model which presents its own unique challenges and benefits in telehealth environments. We present our adaptations based on years of telehealth clinical experience and address how this model supports the impact of COVID-19 on families.
COVID-19 大流行已经改变了我们生活的许多方面。对于心理治疗师来说，远程医疗很可能是未来心理健康领域的一个永久组成部分。对于使用手册化治疗方法的家庭治疗师来说，这带来了独特的挑战和创造性的机会。在本文中，我们描述了在远程医疗和 COVID-19 背景下，依恋为基础的家庭治疗（ABFT）的适应。ABFT 是一种经过实证支持的治疗模式，专为患有抑郁、焦虑、创伤和自杀的青少年和年轻人设计。ABFT 是一种半结构化、面向过程和创伤知情的家庭治疗模式，在远程医疗环境中具有独特的挑战和优势。我们根据多年的远程医疗临床经验提出了我们的适应，并讨论了该模式如何支持 COVID-19 对家庭的影响。
