When It Is Used
Use it during or immediately after a structural family therapy session when shared meaning is shifting and the practitioner wants to document the old frame, the emerging reframe, and the structural focus.
Reframing for Structural Family Therapy Sessions
Reframing is a live-session structural family therapy tool for practitioners. It helps the practitioner record a family's current blaming or symptom-focused frame, capture a shared less blaming relational formulation, and connect that formulation to a structural focus for continued work.
Try the before/after formulation view with sample session language, then save the tool for your practice.

Important Boundary
The tool does not generate reframing language, assess family members, assign blame, produce scores, or prescribe the next intervention. The practitioner authors the clinical wording.
Does Reframing create the reframe for me?
No. The practitioner writes or revises the reframe based on the live clinical conversation.
Is there a client form to complete?
No. There is no standalone client form; family participation happens in the session conversation.
Can I save an incomplete reframe?
Yes. A draft can remain tentative or incomplete if shared wording has not yet emerged.
What is saved after the demo?
The fixed Reframing tool is saved to the practitioner's account. Fictional sample session content is not saved as real client data.
