Boundary Function
TANU CHOKSI
Any family therapist in Mumbai establishes crisp
boundaries between an individual and the family
so that it is easy to divide responsibilities and
understand the problematic patterns that are
causing troubles within that family system. This
function helps the therapist fluctuate from
person to unit easily too.
