Describe How Family Systems Oriented Models of Therapy Assess Relational Processes

Modern and post-modern family therapy models were examined in previous coursework. Each model focuses on different dynamics as they assess a family’s functioning through its unique theoretical lens. For this week’s assignment, you will have the opportunity to apply a family therapy model to your own personal experience. Begin by reflecting on a recent situation in your own life and write a brief vignette. It is important that the vignette reflect relational dynamics that would benefit from family therapy.

Next, access the Theory/ Therapy Resources in the MFT Clinical Support course and select one of the theory-specific Case Conceptualization outlines. Using the outline, complete the case conceptualization based on your personal vignette. As you complete the outline, reflect on how the theory guides your assessment. Further, reflect on how the theory also guides clinical recommendations based on the assessment results.

Your submission will include your vignette (1-2 paragraphs), the completed theory specific case conceptualization outline, a summary of the case conceptualization (1-2 paragraphs), and responses to the following questions (this may be submitted in two documents if needed):

1. How does your chosen theory assess relational processes? What processes are important to assess, and how are they deemed functional or dysfunctional?
2. Reflecting on the summary of your case conceptualization, how does the theory guide your clinical recommendations?

Length: 3-4 pages

References: Include a minimum of 3 scholarly resources.

The completed assignment should address all of the assignment requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course. The writing should integrate scholarly resources, reflect academic expectations and current APA standards
