Minuchin Center For The Family
When Minuchin moved to New York in 1981, he established the Minuchin Family Center, a center where he could teach family therapists and interface directly with the foster care system through consultation services (Nichols, 2010). The center is non-profit and offers programs designed for training and consultation with families that are affected by low socioeconomic status, substance abuse, homelessness, and family members with psychological disorders. While Minuchin himself is a structurally oriented family therapist, the Minuchin Center currently has a postmodern orientation towards therapy (Nichols, 2010).
