BUENO, Amanda Guedes  and  SILVA, Isabela Machado da. Family therapy with reflecting team: contributions and challenges. Pensando fam. [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.2, pp. 26-42. ISSN 1679-494X.

Through a case study, we sought to describe the use of reflecting team in family therapy. The members of three families that were in family therapy with reflecting team, in a university clinic, responded to individual interviews. We conducted a thematic analysis and built the themes (1) Contributions of the use of reflecting team and (2) Challenges in the use of reflecting team. The participants related the contributions of the reflecting team to the multiplicity of perspectives and to the support offered by it. Among the challenges in the use of the reflecting team, the participants have cited their initial contact, as well as the changes in the team composition. Finally, we discussed the need for flexibility in the use of the reflecting team given the complexity of the issues brought by families to therapy.
