Homework: Major Theories of a Family
Instructions
The purpose of this homework is to apply one of the major theories of Family Therapy to a "sample family" from popular culture. In addition, this homework will allow you to critically reflect on messages of family that we see in the mass media, and to evaluate popular notions of the "normal family".
Select a film and watch it at least two times. Even if you've seen it before, you'll need to watch the film again to have a solid recollection of the dynamics within the family represented. Then, complete the following:
A. Provide a brief synopsis of the film, giving enough information about the family and plot line to inform someone who has never seen the film (at least 1 page).
B. Choose and describe the theory of family therapy that you apply to the family depicted in the film. Provide enough description and historical background on the theory to inform someone who is unfamiliar with family therapy (at least 1 page).
C. Apply the theory to the family depicted in the film. How would you apply this model of family therapy to the family in the film? What would therapy "look like"?
a. What would occur in the first session? Who would likely be present?
b. How would you structure future sessions with the family? Get the instant assignment help.
c. What is the likely course of treatment? How many sessions would you have? Who would attend them? What would happen in them?
d. Write out a dialogue for solving one particular problem within the family.
