Present a 5 page summary (complete with citations and references to the professional references utilized) of the theoretical orientation, history of its development, the key theorists, primary assumptions, key terminology, and major interventions utilized from the Solutions Focused Family Therapy approach.
The remainder of the paper should be a hypothetical application of the theoretical approach as though the family system represented in the movie were coming in for therapy. The information presented in the second half of the paper should reflect understanding of the family dynamics from this theoretical perspective. Then developing and interpreting the dynamics present in the family would need to include an accurate genogram consistent with the prior genogram expectations in the class. The second section of the paper should reflect interpretation of the family’s presenting problem, the elements of the presenting problem as considered through the frame of reference of the chosen theory, potential interventions that would be utilized with the family and the expected goals or outcomes sought. Finally, an exploration of how incorporating a Christian worldview, as though the family was seeking incorporation of Christian perspectives, might alter or adjust the work with the family.
