Family therapy

Two videos, two families and two theories, where the four required bullets run twice — and where “define the problem” has to be written in each model's own constructs rather than in plain English.

The genogram is not an illustration of the assessment — it is a second instrument, and drawing what the prose already said means one of the two parts went unattempted.

A two-part project submitting a GenoPro genogram of your own family with yourself as the index person across three generations, plus a Microsoft Word narrative, focused on family strengths, resilience, patterns, rules and overall health rather than on problems, using the software's relationship symbols and interpreting the map through categories including life cycle transitions, traumas, gender, secrets and losses.

Both models treat the symptom as belonging to the family rather than the person. Where they part company is what the therapist does about it, and that is the comparison worth writing.

A three to four page analysis paper based on a library search of peer-reviewed articles on counselling considerations for LGBTQ families, summarising two to three potential issues such families may encounter, describing the effects of those issues on the family, and explaining how you would address each of them during a counselling session, with a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources in APA format.

A practicum journal entry documenting a family therapy session with the supplied Group Therapy Progress Note, describing and diagnosing two clients from that session, and choosing between solution-focused and cognitive behavioural therapy for the family.
