This article outlines the current research on the treatment of family conflict, structural family theory (SFT), and the application of SFT in the treatment of family conflict. Family therapy is rarely conducted with violent families because of state-mandated programs that focus on the individual perpetrator. Yet, structural family therapy has much potential for addressing power, boundaries, and transactions associated with family violence. The review of utilizing SFT with families experiencing conflict makes the case that early intervention may reduce the rates of violence.
