Dr. Hawkins and Classmates,
The therapist’s responsibility for a change when using a strategic family therapy model must stay joined with the parents and connected to the child. According to Goldenberg, Stanton and Goldenberg (2016) “Strategic therapies offers active and straightforward therapeutic interventions aimed at reducing or eliminating the presenting family problems or behavioral symptoms.” Therefore, the therapist will offer intervention to the family to aimed any presenting problems that they are experiencing. The therapist aims to change the conflict without the help of the family. MRI is a brief therapy principle process that helps individuals very fast with a positive outcome.

The Bateson Project was definitely one of the biggest influences in Family Therapy to date, because of the incredible ideas that the brilliant minds at Palo Alto came up with. In 1952, Gregory Bateson assembled a young research team in Palo Alto, California, to study human and animal interaction. Each member ended up years later becoming key figures in family therapy: John Weakland, Jay Haley, Virginia Satir, Don Jackson and later Paul Watzlawick. They started studying hypnosis, films, dogs and psychotherapy. In 1956, a major contribution to family therapy today occurred with the paper that provided the initial examination of interaction in families.

MSWI concluded that she doesn’t have the skills to build a healthy relationship with her son; therefore, MSWI believes that play therapy would be good for the client and bm. Play therapy will help bm increase attunement with her son, help Adam with his self-control, and help Adam improve his ability to take direction from someone else (Lowenstein, 2011). MSWI chose play therapy because it is good to use with solution-focused therapy. Also play therapy is good to use with families for interacting purposes and in this case, family play therapy is good because it will give a meaningful way for bm to interact with her son for the short time they are together. Family play therapy will be ongoing until family reunification occurs; it will help the mother increase her skills of how to interact her

If the family members cannot think through their responses to relationship dilemmas, a state of chronic anxiety may be set in place. According to Brown (1999.), the primary goal of family systems therapy is to reduce constant tension by enabling knowledge and awareness of how the emotional system functions; and by improving levels of differentiation, where the aim is to make changes for the self rather than on trying to change others. As per Richardson, Gilleard, Lieberman, and Peeler (1994), The short-term goal is to foster better relationships between family members of the different generations by understanding the family system with its rules and balances of power and to mobilize the system by reconstruing these rules and having the family observe its own

Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) is a strengths-based, future-focused therapeutic model that was developed under the leadership of two social workers, Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg, and a team of interdisciplinary colleagues at the Brief Family Therapy Center in Milwaukee (de Shazer, 1985; de Shazer et al., 1986). The SFBT approach to helping clients provides a set of therapeutic techniques for building client competencies and helps clients discover workable solutions to their mental health problems (Berg & De Jong, 2008). An emphasis of SFBT is on the process of developing a future solution rather than the

Introduction I am a 24-year-old Female who is working in the Pediatric Surgical Unit as a Registered Nurse at Hospital Authority. In the Calgary Family Assessment Model (CFAM), I learned about genogram and ecomap, which capture the structures and connections between and around the family (Rempel, Neufeld & Kushner, 2007). Also, the stages of the family life cycle (Carter & McGoldrick, 1988) sketched out how family members emotionally react and interact with the transition to roles and responsibilities. In the Calgary Family Intervention Model (CFIM), I noted the power of using interventive questions to unfold problems and promote behavioral transformation.

After engaging with the readings and videos about transgenerational family therapy, I learned of the benefits of using techniques such as process questioning and genograms during counseling sessions. Although I have created a genogram in some of my other courses throughout my academic career, I have never practiced explaining the purpose of a genogram to a client family. During the planning phase of completing my genogram role-play script, one challenge I encountered was determining how in-depth my approach to explaining the purpose of a genogram would be due to the word count limit. After taking on a client’s perspective and reviewing the assigned materials, I was better prepared to create my genogram role-play script. In particular, reading the case study in the Ballard et al.

Families are said to constitute realities in which most of one’s attributes are constructed, based on the family interactions, beliefs, values as well as the behaviours that are seen in the specific families one is brought up into (Archer & McCarthy, 2007). However, even though most of one’s personal characteristics may be heavily influenced by their families; people do have a sense of individuality that makes them unique from any other person in the family (Becvar & Becvar, 2013). Therefore, one may argue that it is these differences that may cause misunderstandings in families.

Family systems therapy is basically evaluating the family system functioning as a unit and there are a few types of family therapy that uses this approach such as “structural family therapy, intergenerational family therapy and strategic family therapy” (Family Solutions Institute MFT Study Guide).

According to Family Therapy Concepts and Methods, the power of family therapy is the result of bringing parents and children together to change the way they interact (Nichols & Davis, 2017), instead of separating individuals from the emotional conflict, issues are addressed at the source of the problem, such as the approach taken by John Bell on group therapy which he analyzes in three stages. The first stage, the child-centered phase, he encouraged children 's involvement by getting them to express their opinions and feelings (Nichols & Davis, 2017). In the parent-centered stage, parents take into consideration the concerns of their children and disapprove of their child’s actions (Nichols & Davis, 2017). The final stage, the family-centered stage, encourages communication between family members to solve existing family problems (Nichols & Davis, 2017). The

[11] Therapists avoid pathologising these members or any other member for that matter, they rather seek to hypothesise how an individual's "symptoms" or challenges might be connected to the dynamics within the family. What most families and mine included tend to forget is that symptoms are not signs of inherent illness, but rather survival strategies within the family context. While these strategies might provide temporary relief, they can lead to chaos in the long term.

The power struggle does not involve who controls but who defines the relationship. Strategic family therapy blends a strategic approach to discovering a positive form of change for individuals within the individual’s family. The strategic therapists are active problem-solvers and solution-finders directly involved like a coach or referee. They are normally not worried about where or how the issue started, only how to address and solve the problem at the present point in time. Strategic family therapy reproduces family exchanges and communications, encouraging and engaging family members with provoking questions and discussions.
