Introduction
Divorce-related issues in a couple or family therapy are often complex and challenging as well as increase general to consumers. According to a national review, the rate of divorce remains approximately 50%. Divorce and consequent change and reassociation of the family structure have become an ideological experience. In the U.S, the phrase "divorce" is used to refer to the termination of a legal marriage, although it can be used to dissolve a long-term committed relationship. This is especially important because more couples decide to have sex as a different to marriage rather than as a prelude to marriage. Thus, since the legal factors of divorce are unique to marriage, the conversation presented here is also relevant to the termination of a long-lasting committed relationship involving intercourse. Family therapy is an important element of psychotherapy designed to investigate and promote suitable change in family welfare. Although therapists may use a variety of models in their work, models of structural and strategic therapy have been further emphasized and developed theoretically. Therefore, this paper offers an analysis of the two models, outlines their possible differences and similarities, and finally, provides an instance and argument for the application of the model.

Therefore, the therapist must provide a clear framework in the therapeutic environment when adapting to family changes through the divorce process is allowed.
Structural family therapy
The foundation of structured family therapy is to make better self-esteem between individuals and family networks. According to Nichols and Tafuri (2013), structural models emphasize intervention strategies, primarily aimed at diagnosing the dysfunction of family members as well as changing the concept of treatment. In addition, Williams (2016) argues that when diagnosing fundamental dysfunction, the therapist can use a family map to identify the underlying cause and then initiate a comprehensive approach to treatment. In this regard, structural family therapy requires an analysis of how interactions among family members contribute to particular inactivity and rearrange family perceptions. The underlying principle of the model is to solve problems by balancing structural interactions. Comparing Strategic...
