Family Therapy |Get Solution

Discussion #1: Personal Reflection Reflect on your personal reasons for entering into the human services profession. How might your own family system (childhood or current) influence your work as a helper with families? Please explain what your personal views are of families and of family therapy. Discussion #2: Ethical Dilemma You are a family therapist working with an immigrant family that includes the father, mother and two teen-aged children, one male and one female. The targeted client is the son. Your work so far has centered on his problems at school including poor academic performance and disciplinary issues. One day, in between therapy sessions, the mother calls you up on the telephone and discloses that the father regularly strikes the children with a switch – a common practice in the family’s culture of origin. After a lengthy discussion, she feels relieved that she was able to “Get that off my chest” but is adamant about not bringing the issue up in family sessions or, “Telling anyone else.” She begs you to keep this issue secret. Given what you have learned about confidentiality and ethics, how will you handle this situation? To address how you will handle this situation please apply each stage of Welfel’s Ethical Decision Making model found on pages 60—66 in: Jungers, C. M., & Gregoire, J. (2013). Counseling Ethics: Philosophical and Professional Foundations. Danvers, MA: Springer Publishing Company.

Your primary task is to evaluate individuals coming into your agency seeking some form of counseling. After you complete your assessment, it is your job to refer the client to one of the many counseling services your agency offers (e.g., individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, or alcohol and drug abuse services). Given what you now know about family therapy (e.g., what it has to offer, how it approaches targeted problems and the theories) what are some of the more important factors you will consider when referring this individual for family therapy versus the other treatment approaches your agency offers ? Please base your response upon the theory-based foundations of family therapy (e.g. Bowen family systems, REBT, CBT, Solution focused brief therapy, etc.) we are reviewing this week.
