Hello. I’m a bit green to family psychotherapy and need some clarification on what qualifies as family psychotherapy.

So I have a provider who sees a mother and adult son for therapy. The adult son invites his mother to participate in his sessions. However, from the providers notes, the mother interjects only at the prompt of the provider or not at all during the session. Is this still considered family psychotherapy because she was present in the session?

Thanks for any input in advance,
Amanda
