Consider how you might assess and treat the client family.
Assignment : Hernandez Family Assessment
Assessment is as essential to family therapy as it is to individual therapy. Although families often present with one person identified as the “problem,” the assessment process will help you better understand family roles and determine whether the identified problem client is in fact the root of the family’s issues. As you examine the Hernandez Family: Sessions 1-6 videos in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat the client family.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
•Assess client families presenting for psychotherapy
To prepare:
•Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide on family assessment.
•View the Hernandez Family: Sessions 1-6 videos, and consider how you might assess the family in the case study.
