Family Systems Theory

You are rewriting this paper as if you are the therapist and the family from “Crazy Rich Asians” the movie is coming to see you. They need help because of the cultural differences and the relationship between the Rachel (the professor) and her mother in law. here are the instructions:  ·       Title Page ·       Abstract ·       Introduction ·       Application of a modern MFT model and systems theory terms and concepts to the family characters in the movie of your choice 1.    Brief description of movie plot and characters 2.    Brief SUMMARY OF THE PRESENTING PROBLEM ·       Discuss any relevant or possible DSM-V diagnosis and any biopsychosocial, spiritual, and or relational stressors. Also, highlight any risk issues (IPV, suicidality, child abuse, etc.) 1.    A SYSTEMIC CLINICAL ASSESSMENT: The systemic evaluation should focus on identifying systemic and communication patterns relevant to the presenting problem. Use the language and concepts from the readings and class discussion. The clinical assessment should address why the problem developed and/or is maintained and should reflect the theoretical assumptions of the chosen model and systems theory. Support your position(s) with citations. 1.    Discussion of the influence of CULTURAL AND/OR CONTEXTUAL FACTORS. How are issues of race, ethnicity, SES, sexual orientation, etc. relevant in the case? 1.    A MODEL SPECIFIC DIAGRAM is to be included with each assessment. Diagrams are to be computer generated (or neatly drawn) and presented on a separate page. o o   For Structural Family Therapy: At least two structural maps detailing significant structural arrangements in the family. The structural maps should reflect your clinical assessment. ·       Identify THERAPEUTIC GOALS for treatment. Discuss the therapeutic goals you would seek to achieve in order to help the family address the presenting problem. The therapeutic goals should be consistent with the assigned therapy model. Include brief justification for your choice of therapeutic goals and include literature support (citations). Approximately 1 – 2 pages. o   Specific model-based steps you will take to bring about the change identified by the therapeutic goals. The steps should be consistent with the assigned model and represent a well thought out, rational approach to achieving the goals. o   Identify two specific model-based interventions you will use to achieve the therapeutic goals and describe how you will implement them in session(s). ·       Conclusion ·       References
