Family Therapy
The process of creating a treatment plan in family therapy involves meeting with the family at an intake session; observing family dynamics; and listening to the family’s description of the presenting problem. This information would allow me to know how their perception of the problem is shaping their behavior. I would continue to actively listen to the presenting problem of the identified client and gather additional pertinent information. During the course of a three session assessment period additional background data would be gathered. This data would include: social behavior, school or work behavior, current meds, past/present counseling, past hospitalizations, extended family information, religious information, marital history, legal concerns/problems, history of mental illness and substance abuse in client and/or family. I would ask each member what he/she sees as the problem or needs of the family. A benefit of family assessment is the opportunity to observe the interpersonal exchanges of family members directly, and to contrast family members’ subjective appraisals of the presenting problem ( L’Abate, 1998). This information would aide in helping to decide what the family needs.
