Structural therapist

 

 

The first part is a self-reflection of the case you will review, and the second part allows you to consider how to apply theory to this case.

For this assignment, revisit the Structural Family Therapy Role Play video located in the resources area for this week. As you watch it, try to erase what you have learned thus far about theory, and then answer these questions based on your own reflections, ideas, understanding of human behavior, etc. For Part One of this week’s assignment, via audio or video, you will reflect on the following questions:

1) From your own perspective, what is the “presenting problem” in this scenario, and why would you label this as the biggest problem in this couple’s relationship?

2) What do you see about the man and the woman in this example that play a role in how the problem became as big as it is?

3) What do you notice or hear as the therapist talks to the couple that you would define as “context” to the problem (e.g., client’s background, race, religion, and other cultural differences)?

4) Using either SPAMO or SMART goals, provide at least two examples of questions you would ask in order to learn more about the client’s goal for therapy.

5) If you were to label a direction for therapy in the future, what would you say is the most important direction for therapy (e.g., what would your perception of one major goal be)?

Record your audio or video using Kaltura Capture. A Kaltura Capture tutorial is provided in the weekly resources.

For the second part of your work, you will reflect on the same questions as above, but rather than focusing on what you thought, you will put on structural “glasses” and consider what a structural therapist might explore. (Note: You may need to review the readings from the week on structural family therapy).

Reflect on the following questions, which will make up Part Two of your work:

1) From a structural perspective, what is a “presenting problem” in this scenario? Why do you think structural therapists would label this as the problem?

2) How would a structural therapist define how this couple’s “system” is working and how the man and the woman in this example that play a role in how the problem got to be as big as it is?

3) What do you think a structural therapist might notice or hear about as the therapist talks to the couple that they might define as “context” to the problem (e.g., client’s background, race, religion, and other cultural differences?)

4) If a structural therapist had to identify one direction for this couple, what might be one goal for future therapeutic work according to the structural model?

5) What is one intervention or “tool” that a structural therapist might use as a guide to help them reach that goal?

Please also provide a brief summary of any notable similarities or differences in these two.
