marriage and family systems

marriage and family systems

In your project for this course, which spans the Units 5, 7, and 10 assignments, you will take a look at a family subsystem within the movie Parenthood. You will provide an assessment of the relationship patterns in the family, consider two family therapy models for use with the family, choose one therapeutic model to guide a brief treatment plan, and reflect on the impact of your own perspective and how it affects your perceptions of and approach to the family. The purpose of the project is to provide an opportunity for you to analyze family issues from a systems perspective, apply an assessment tool, and develop a plan of treatment for a particular family subsystem.

The following pieces should be included in your project:

Genogram – A genogram of a family subsystem from the Buckman family in Parenthood, developed in the Unit 5 assignment. It should include visual depictions of relationships among family members, and identifying information like ethnicity, class, sexual orientation, mental or physical illnesses, addictions, and other relevant information.
Analysis of Family Subsystem – A clinical conceptualization of one subsystem contained within the Buckman family (for example, one of the couples or parent(s) and their child(ren)). You will apply family systems concepts from the course, looking at patterns of relationships, themes in the family, and issues with life cycle transitions. This is also developed in the Unit 5 assignment.
Literature Review – You will choose two family systems therapy models in the Unit 5 assignment. In the Unit 7 assignment, using supporting research, compare and contrast these two systemic therapeutic models and consider how they might be applied to the family subsystem you chose in the Unit 5 assignment. Discuss the interventions associated with each model, and how each model would affect treatment with this family.
Treatment Plan – In the Unit 10 assignment, you will choose one of the two models you researched. You will create a brief plan of treatment for the family subsystem, incorporating short-, medium-, and long-term goals, and selecting model-specific interventions for use at each stage of therapy. Include a diagnosis using a relational diagnostic code.
Reflection – A reflection on the process of developing this conceptualization and treatment plan. What was the effect of your personal experiences, beliefs, and values upon your assessment of this family, and your ideas about how to work with them?
To successfully complete this project, you will be expected to:
Create a genogram of a family subsystem from the Buckman family.
Analyze a family subset in relation to the larger family system in terms of intergenerational themes, relationship patterns, and life-cycle transitions.
Compare and contrast two systemic therapeutic models.
Evaluate how different interventions would affect treatment.
Develop a systemically based diagnosis and treatment plan.
Reflect on the effect of your personal experiences, beliefs, and values upon a particular situation.
