#1 Structural Family Therapy Intervention

Based on what you learned about the client family from the demonstration video (linked below), imagine you are the therapist who will see them for their next visit. Identify an intervention from the structural family therapy model that you would apply in the session.

In this discussion, briefly describe the intervention, including the following:

Its general purpose and goal.
Who and what is the target of the intervention.
Some questions that would be used to apply this intervention.
The desired outcome of the intervention.
The elements that make this intervention systemic in nature.

#2 Self reflection

Reflect on your reactions to the video demonstration of structural family therapy (linked in below ).

In your post, address the following:

Identify which family member you felt most able to connect with and why.

Identify which family member you felt most reactive to (disconnected from, irritated by, et cetera) and why.

Describe your reactions to the way the therapist interacted with the family.

Note what in particular you liked about the way the therapist engaged with the family. How does this style match how you would like to engage with clients?

Choose one dimension of your culture (gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or other) and discuss how your membership and experiences in this particular group influenced your reactions to the therapeutic interactions addressed in the above questions.

Choose at least two questions to address using this single dimension of culture. For example, as a woman or man, you may examine how your gender influenced to whom you felt most connected in the session and your reactions to the therapist’s style of engagement.

This is an opportunity to demonstrate your willingness to examine how your culture informs your reactions.

Include any insights gained from the unit articles that address various aspects of culture when using the structural model.
