Two frameworks that guide the theory, for the case are systems and medical model. In the systems framework the theory chosen to guide the intervention was the family systems theory. For the medical model the theory that best suits the clients problem is pharmapsychology. Systems framework is a series of related assumptions and postulates about all levels of systems (Turner, 1996). The framework is relevant in that it explains the clients current behavior is a result of a series of outside forces that built upon one another in sequence that has ultimately lead to the presenting problems (Turner, 1996). All three presenting problems involve the systems framework. The client's poor performance in school and with homework are partially a result

Murray Bowen (Kerr, 2000b). A core assumption of the theory is that an emotional system that evolved over billions of years governs human relationship systems (Kerr, 2000b). The theory has eight interlocking concepts: triangles, differentiation of self, nuclear family emotional system, family project process, multigenerational transmission process, emotional cutoff, sibling position, societal emotional process (Kerr, 2000a). In Bowen's research he found that a change in one part of a family led to changes in other parts of the family, therefore he was able to deduce the family system could be influenced by one member of the family (Papero, …show more content…
In the context of this treatment the model is being seen through a mental health lens. The medical model in mental health sees mental disorders the same way as a broken bone in that there is a physical cause (Mcleod, 2008). The medical model considers outward signs as symptoms of an inner physical disorder and if the symptoms are classified into a diagnosis the true cause of the problem can be found and appropriate treatment can be administered (Mcleod, 2008). The client has all the outward symptoms of a inner physical problem. In this case attention-deficit/hyperactivity Disorder predominantly inattentive. Because of the severity and impairment the symptoms are impacting the client a medical model with the use of the psychopharmacology approach is appropriate to assist the
