Family theory

Week 14 Discussion
 
This week, we will explore family theory.  Of the many different family systems therapy approaches, this week, we will focus on four: inter-generational, structural, strategic, and experiential. Because many family therapists use more than one of these four approaches, learning to integrate them is critical.
This week’s discussion has two distinct parts:

1. Select one of the four approaches listed above and provide a brief (1-2 paragraph) summary.
2. Access Psychotherapy.net from the MBU library.  Select the “Counseling & Psychotherapy Theories in Context & Practice” videos.  Once you open these videos, select Family Systems Therapy and watch the video in its entirety.  After you have watched the video, construct 1-2 paragraphs that specifically details your thought, feelings, and insights into the counselors use of family sculpting and prompting congruent family communication.

In order to adequately complete this discussion assignment, you will need to watch the Family Systems theory video in full and properly cite it in your discussion post.  You will also need to include citations from the course text in this week’s post.  There are no peer-reviewed citations required this week,
