relationship

Therapists are _______ and ________ bound to protect others from harm.

legally and ethically

Knowledge and application of theoretical models, stages of treatment, the impact of diversity on treatment, collateral, and adjunctive services, issues of termination

Treatment Planning

________ Considerations and Goals: Immediate concerns: risk factors, emergency interventions, stabilize any crisis, fulfill any legal obligations, protect the client or others, discuss confidentiality Create a therapeutic framework: what brought the client to treatment (presenting problem), establish rapport, address issues related to trust, boundaries, human diversity, etc. that might be relevant Management practice issues: client and issue should be within scope of practice, get informed consent, releases of information, no secrets policy, make arrangements for payment, confidentiality agreements Assess and gather information Make preliminary assessment and diagnosis Begin constructing treatment plan and establish treatment goals with client MAPS: measurable, attainable, positive, specific

First Stage of treatment

________ Considerations and Goals: Use specific theoretical orientation Generally: feelings work, release of emotions, separate thoughts and feelings, understand the difference, normalize feelings, empty chair work, letter writing Reduce core symptoms of the condition or disorder, work toward specific behavioral changes, increase, decrease, develop, implement, etc. plan, reinforce behaviors, confront behaviors, restore to previous level of functioning Identify and strengthen coping abilities for the current problem, relapses and future problems; model, guide, rehearse skills, like communication skills, problem solving, conflict resolution (regulation), parenting, assertiveness, anger management, relaxation Decrease isolation, mobilize social support by making appropriate referrals Increase self-esteem, practice tasks, provide positive feedback Address family factors, FOO issues, influences, expectations Interpret client’s defenses and transference reactions Evaluate progress and make adjustments to treatment plan, examine resistance and barriers to change, discuss secondary gains, encourage direct communication with client, reinterpret possible resistance to reduce defenses Be sensitive to countertransference issues

Middle stage goals

________ Considerations and Goals: (P) premature leaving, financial issues? Was client uncomfortable? Too much denial or defenses? (L) losses, look at the losses of leaving, bring up old losses (A) anticipate any future difficulties, coping skills and possible bumps down the road (R) referrals, make referrals for future support (G) goals, were goals met? Are there more to consider at a later time? (O) open door, open door policy that client may leave and return at any time Process loss of therapy → explore feelings, reframe, open door policy Maintain gains and prevent relapse → review goals, plan for obstacles

Final stage (termination)

Process → (1) therapist joins family and defines presenting complaint (2) highlight problem-maintaining interactions (3) explore alternative ways of relating while recognizing and acknowledge family strengths, clarify and improve boundaries and limit-setting among family members (4) therapist reduces role from joiner to observer First 3 sessions → (1) join with and accommodate to family rules, patterns, and structure, acknowledge family members feelings and reflect a sense of empathy, track and maintain family interactional style while acknowledging hierarchy and rules (2) assess family structure and boundaries, observe enactments that reflect negative communication patterns, initiate parental subsystem sessions to address parenting //

Structural Family Therapy

Goals → decrease negative interactional patterns and promote more functional communication styles

Structural Family Therapy

Central Constructs: family structure, coalitions, subsystems, boundaries Family structure → set of rules that determine who talks to whom who plays with whom // when 2 people join together to create a family they are bringing remnants of rules and interactional patterns from their families of origin Coalitions → 2 or more members join together // interactional patterns are critical // repeated patterns of interactions maintain family structure Subsystems → smaller groupings within the family (parental subsystem, sibling subsystem) Boundaries → rules that specify who who participates in the coalitions and subsystems of family // can cause dysfunction in how members relate to one another // disengaged (rigid) boundaries occur due to lack of communication; high sense of individuality encouraged // Enmeshed (unclear, permeable, blurred) boundaries cause intense transmission of stress; conformity and loyalty are expected // Healthy boundaries occur when rules and roles are clearly defined; communication is open but not overly so

Structural Family Therapy

Family Systems Theory includes:

Satir approach Structural Therapy Strategic Therapy Bowen’s Family Systems Theory

________ therapy models approach things practically instead of analytically and focus on identifying the stagnant patterns of behavior within groups or families

Systemic

Role of therapist in _______ therapy → introduce creative nudges to support the changing of the system

Systemic

Process of therapy: Stage 1) Making Contact: family members act in a way that reflects their patterns and beliefs, therapist “makes contact” and creates a space for change, process is emphasized over content Stage 2) Chaos: (disturbing the status quo) explore patterns and dynamics of family and how they result in chaos; explore conflicts, normalize feelings, examine FOO and family rules, uncover unexpressed feelings and thoughts; communicate in the “immediate” or here and now Stage 3) Integration of New Skills: (The new status quo) uncover possibilities for change and more adaptive ways of communicating “moving on”; experiment with changes in family dynamics; explore feelings and thoughts associated with the shift in communication; closure/termination of treatment

Satir Theory

First 3 sessions → (1) develop working counseling relationship, establish rapport and hope and reflect empathy, explore barriers to and expectations of treatment (2) assess individual, systemic and broader cultural dynamics, obtain detailed description of problem behavioral sequences, encouraging non-blaming descriptions of each person’s actions, identify patterns involving boundaries, subsystems, and triangles that contribute to the family conflict

Satir Theory

Central Constructs: Individual growth and development, communication, self-esteem Individual growth → (a) Genetic Endowment (b) learning acquired over a lifetime (c) Body-Mind connection: primary survival triad (Mother, Father, and child - important in positive or negative self concept); essential interacting parts include physical, intellectual, emotional, interactional contextual, nutritional and spiritual Communication → (a) incongruent communication: discrepancies between verbal and nonverbal cues; double-bind messages - the member receives conflicting messages, each of which negates the other, making it impossible to resolve the conflict (b) survival stances: protecting one’s self worth against perceived threats by others (placater - context and other are acknowledged but self is not; blamer - self and context are acknowledged but other is not; super-reasonable - computer like, only context is acknowledge, self and other are not; congruence - words and feelings match, self context and other are acknowledged) Self-esteem → the degree to which an individual values themselves regardless of the opinions of others // (a) all people possess the resources for positive growth (b) discomfort and pain signal the need for change (c) every person, thing, or situation is impacted by every other person, thing or situation

Satir Theory

Interventions → modeling communication, family sculpting, self-mandala, parts party, transforming rules

Satir Theory

(under family systems umbrella) considered more of an insight approach because it focuses on past familial patterns in order to avoid repeating current ones; model can be used with families or individuals, promotes insight before action, often very time consuming

Bowen Family Systems Theory

Process other therapy → (1) genogram: therapist and family construct genogram (2) assessment: information from genogram is evaluated in terms of family projection process, sibling position, emotional cutoff, etc; history and background of problem issues are explored, including each member’s perspective of what causes and maintains the presenting problem; therapist assesses the broader context of the extended family system (like impact of substance abuse) (3) differentiation: therapist uses process questions, detriangulation techniques and activities to help members successfully differentiate from each other; coaching is used to reinforce gains made during the process

Bowen Family Systems Theory

Central Constructs: family projection process, differentiation of self, triangles, togetherness/individuality, sibling position, emotional cutoff (1) family projection process → a) parents transmit or project their immaturity and lack of differentiation onto their children b) often involves the replication of one’s FOO dynamics and so behavioral patterns may be passed down from generation to generation (2) differentiation of self → a) lifelong process of maintaining balance through movement towards individuation and away from fusion (absence of boundaries) Differentiation is the capacity to better manage one’s own connection to (and independence from) one’s FOO and other close relationships. A higher level of differentiation would make one less apt to get drawn into others’ emotional issues (being triangulated) and to be less emotionally reactive in close relationships. Lower levels of differentiation are generally accompanied by higher levels of anxiety (3) triangles → 3rd person involved to diffuse tension of dyad; the basic building blocks of an emotional system; a) when relationships become distant and our anxiety increases, a third person or thing, is introduced to stabilize the relationship b) triangles reduce immediate anxiety but decrease the chance of resolving the problem within the original dyad (4) togetherness/individuality → a) togetherness - ability to engage in meaningful connection with others b) individuality - a person’s ability to maintain a clear sense of self and identity c) need to balance togetherness and individuality d) if a person within their family system is unable to balance togetherness and individuality, the relationship may become polarized (5) sibling position → a) fixed personality characteristics based on sibling position, which can be helpful in determining a child’s role in the family’s emotional process (first born - tend to be characterized by power, authority, and self-confidence // later born - tend to identify with the oppressed, rebellious explorers and iconoclasts (attacking or ridiculing traditional or venerated institutions)) First - natural leader, high achiever, organized, on-time, know-it-all, bossy, responsible, adult-pleaser, obeys the rules Middle - flexibile, easy-going, social, peacemakers, independent, secretive, may feel life is unfair, strong negotiator, generous Last - risk taker, outgoing, creative, self-centered, financially irresponsible, competitive, bored easily, likes to be pampered, sense of humor Only - close to parents, self control, leader, mature, dependable, demanding, unforgiving, private, sensitive (6) emotional cutoff → a) people cut off from their FOO to reduce the discomfort generated by being in emotional contact with them b) individuals are often undifferentiated and may manage emotional intensity by cutting themselves off from their FOO

Bowen Family Systems Theory

Interventions → genogram, process questions, detriangulation, “going home again” exercise, displacement stories, coaching

Bowen Family Systems Theory

Process of therapy → (3-5 sessions average) (1) first session emphasizes: discourse on change (therapist communicates the importance of change talk from problem talk to solution talk), solution discourse (formation of a collaborative relationship), strategy discourse (identifying strategies to help reach client goals), identify exceptions and what has worked in the past (2) establish goals: solutions evolve out of conversations, language is our reality, adopt the client’s lingo, focus on client’s strengths and use compliments
