Summary

Therapy indeed serves as a mirror for family dynamics rather than a repair shop for one member. The statement is true. Effective therapeutic work involves acknowledging collective responsibility and transforming relational patterns decisively.

Recommendation

Recognize therapy as a reflective system for families. It is essential to move beyond the notion of 'repairing' one member and instead focus on shared understanding and systemic change. Engage the entire family for strongest outcomes.
