    Part IV – Family Therapy Case Conceptualization and Treatment 6a. I believe there are boundary issues in Julia’s family, specifically with her mother.

Julia’s mother would worry that Julia would not be working to her full potential and would constantly be on top of Julia to complete her homework and would form test schedules. Additionally, her mother would look over Julia’s homework before she submitted it and made sure Julia had planned enough time to study for her exams (p. 274).…

    I really enjoyed your discussion on family systems and was wondering your thoughts on Multi-Dimensional Family Therapy (MDFT). Due to a lack of licensed providers in my current county of residence, the only outpatient level of care for adolescents struggling with substance use disorders is MDFT. MDFT offers both individual sessions with the adolescent themselves and parents, as well as family sessions to target several key areas imperative for sustained recovery, including family interaction, communication styles, and interaction with community resources (Wetchler & Hecker, 2015). Due to the mobile nature of this level of care, I have noticed that it provides practitioners the ability to not only see their primary client (adolescent) one-on-one,…

    A classic case might be providing anger or stress management to an adult in a family where child protection has intervened in some way. This might be a monitoring role where a child is on the ‘children at risk’ register, or a care order may be in force. A child may even have been removed, and an adult may be facing criminal charges or civil court intervention. As a therapist, however, it is important to have some small grasp of the trauma that occurs to all parties, whether guilty or innocent. Generally speaking, assisting in these cases is no different therapeutically to any other case.…

With the Experiential Family Therapy Model, the goal of the therapist is to catalyze the natural drive of the family to reach growth and the full potential of the individual members of the family. Still, the individual practitioners allowed their personality to be instrumental in the success of their unique forms of Experimental Family Therapy, although their focus and goals were similar (Goldberg, 2013). Because of the importance of the individual personality in the success of a model, Whitaker’s Symbolic-Experiential Family Therapy (S-EFT) was selected and will be argued for…
