Today’s most popular and most cost-effective talking therapies (i.e., CBT, DBT, psychoanalytic approaches) too often focus on the individual only. However, no man is an island. We live embedded in family systems and broader environments that, to an extent, influence and shape our psyche and physical and mental wellbeing all throughout our lives. As developmental psychologists emphasise, it is the early years in which we are influenced the most by external factors as humans. Indeed, there is very little we can do to influence our environment when we are newborns, infants and toddlers (and onwards).
