Case Study – Del Sol Family The Del Sol Family consists of Rosa, Miguel, and their three children. Rosa and Miguel have been fighting excessively (Thomlison, 2016). Rosa feels Miguel is verbally abusing her and counseling is the only way to work out their problems (Thomlison, 2016). Miguel does not believe counseling is needed and thinks they can solve their problems on their own (Thomlison, 2016). The two approaches the Rosa and Miguel will be practicing are emotionally focused therapy and integrative behavioral couple therapy.
Emotionally Focused Therapy Emotionally focused therapy has been selected to help Rosa and Miguel, since it is a couple’s therapy, but integrates the family system as well (Wetchler & Hecker, 2015). Rosa and Miguel …show more content…
There are behaviors Rosa and Miguel encounter that they desire to change, such as Miguel making Rosa feel bad and Rosa yelling at Miguel (Thomlison, 2016). It is critical for Rosa and Miguel to identify their negative behaviors and limit their occurrences (Wetchler & Hecker, 2015). In integrative behavioral couples therapy, they will learn how to encounter each other with more positive interactions and less negative interactions (Wetchler & Hecker, 2015). Not only is behavior an important part in this therapy, but communication as well. It is essential for couples to learn how to openly communicate and express what they desire (Wetchler & Hecker, 2015). Rosa and Miguel will work together what they want out of each other. The counselor will use this integrative model to help fix the problems they are facing now and give them the proper tools to handle the problems in the future (Wetchler & Hecker, 2015). I believe it is important for Rosa and Miguel to experience this type of therapy as a couple. They will learn how to emotionally accept each other and change their perception of their behaviors (Wetchler & Hecker, 2015). As a couple, Rosa and Miguel need to working on their behavior and communication, in order to keep their marriage and have a good family
