Family Functioning Video Analysis
Family Functioning & Well-being Analysis
using video observation
Every child deserves the freedom and support to develop according to their natural, intrinsic motivations. Every parent deserves to learn the behaviors that contribute to a healthy family dynamic, as well as those that may be harmful, even if those behaviors are done unintentionally. And every family deserves to learn the psychological and behavioral information that will set your family life and household up for connection, positive interactions, and the tools to manage conflict and communication in healthy and respectful ways.
If a child—or adult—is supported in the way of learning and implementing behaviors and ways of communicating that are healthy, then this is one of the most significant contributors to long-term well-being, positive health, self-esteem, and success in school and life. However, the education system is not set up to teach most people, including parents, what may be some of the most valuable information and education humans need to know so their family life thrives, and their own inner selves are fulfilled.
In addition to teaching courses at UCLA, the #1 school in the United States, on Human Motivation, Conflict and Communication in Couples and Families, and Happiness: The Science of Well-being, my research work at the University of California, Los Angeles Relationship Institute, I was trained in and analyzed hundreds of families on the largest study ever conducted in the United States on family functioning. In this research, my colleagues and I identified and coded behaviors that contribute to both the deterioration and the building of communication, behaviors, conflict, and well-being for children, parents, the entire family, and for couples in their marriage.
I offer video analysis and psychological and behavioral consulting sessions for entire families—to help your family function optimally. In 1-on-1 psychology/therapy sessions, it can be challenging to get an accurate picture of a relationship or family life because only one person is reporting to the therapist, and this reporting is, by nature, biased, even if one does their best to remain unbiased. However, video analysis is an optimal method used to receive help that is accurate and tends to every member of your family. And, evidence-based positive interventions, along with training in communication, can support positive psychological and behavioral changes that last.
There are numerous variables that contribute to a loving home versus a conflicted, chaotic, high-intensity home. I am dedicated to helping families stay together, find connection with each other, and learn knowledge for how to communicate, heal and grow based on scientific research and interventions.
