Our Philosophy

The Center for Family Enrichment’ philosophy of change comes from the theoretical influences that have had an impact on the development of Clinical Director, Frances Bernfeld’s approach to working with people:

Theoretical Influences


Some of the theories that provide the foundation for many of CFE’s courses include those of Structural Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral and Gestalt Therapies and Humanistic and Existential Psychology. Additional influences have come from the theories of Alfred Adler, Virginia Satir, Murray Bowen and others.
  

Theory of Change


Change can be difficult to accomplish! It takes hard work which you will find produces great rewards. It can also be frustrating when we take 2 steps forward and 1 step backward. The change process that moves from unconscious incompetence to unconscious competence takes time and patience.
  

Philosophy of Change


We believe that change can only take place when a person decides to behave, act, think, feel or interact in a different way. This is a personal decision which each of us must make for ourselves. However, we can choose people to help and guide us in our quest to create change in our lives. CFE provides a nurturing environment that is safe and secure, allowing you to achieve desired changes.
