Family System Approaches

Select any specific family system approach of your choice, such as narrative family therapy, structural family therapy, strategic family therapy, Bowen family therapy, cognitive-behavioral family therapy, etc.

Examine how the family system approach is a strength-based modality and builds family resilience.

Discuss the importance of the therapist’s role (i.e. ethical, cultural competence, self-awareness) while facilitating family healing, during the change process, with a family/couple.

Present a case study and apply the family system model. Include assessments, interventions, and recommendations. When citing symptoms and diagnostic criteria reference the American Psychiatric Association (2013) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5th ed. (DSM-5).
