Assignment 2: Clinical Paper (Instructions)

Compare and contrast the viewpoints of two schools of family/couples therapy, with comparative application of each to the following case:

Lisa, a 39-year-old white heterosexual married woman, who works as a nurse, calls you for an initial appointment. She states that she has been feeling depressed and overwhelmed because Jimmy, her 14-year-old son, has been having trouble in school. He has been missing homework assignments, he is failing two of his classes as a result, he has occasionally been skipping classes, and last week he was suspended for punching another student. There is another child in the family, an 8-year-old girl named Emma. She is quiet, and does not seem to have any obvious behavioral difficulties at the moment; however, she does not seem very happy when you meet her during the initial interview of the family. She does not speak up spontaneously, and only responds to questions with one-word answers. In the initial interview, it also becomes apparent that there are marital tensions between the wife and her husband, Tam, a 42-year-old Vietnamese Canadian heterosexual man, who works as a software programmer. In the conjoint intake session, the couple does not elaborate upon these difficulties; however, in the second session – an individual session with each family member – you discover that the husband has been spending 2-4 hours per day playing online poker games. He feels that he has a right to do what he wishes in his free time. His wife feels that it is an addiction, that it is an emotional betrayal of her, and that it is occasionally a financial drain on the family. They never argue in front of the children, but they are both finding their son’s troubles very stressful. The wife feels that their son’s acting-out is related to the husband spending less time with the family (“he is always in his study, on the computer, mindlessly playing that stupid poker game”). However, the husband feels that it is his wife’s high stress level, and her short temper, that are causing stress in the rest of the family members.

In the first section, describe the couple or family in question, and the presenting problem. What do you think brought this family/couple in for therapy? As you assess the family (perhaps utilizing Circular Questioning) in the intake session that you imagine, what further information emerges?

In the second section, discuss two different models of family therapy, and how you would apply each to the case — what is your conceptualization and treatment plan? Conceptualization refers to how a therapist working within that model would define the problem in the family – using that model’s concepts, what would the therapist say is “the problem,” or the reason things aren’t working well currently? Treatment planning refers to what a therapist working within that model would therefore believe should be done. Thus, conceptualization and treatment planning are logically related. Within each model, also discuss how you will manage the limited number of sessions the family has committed to attend.

In the third section, address the following questions:

How are the models similar and how do they differ, in theory and/or in practice?
Which model (or which aspects of the models) do you think would be most effective for treating this case? Why?
This paper should be prepared in APA format and supplemented by references that discuss each model.

Some of these references can come from the Goldenberg & Goldenberg textbook, but at least four relevant research articles should be included from outside the textbook as well. It’s especially useful to be able to back up your clinical claims about one model or another with published research findings (e.g. specific studies on the use of that model with that diagnosis, or studies showing the general efficacy of that model of family therapy).

In addition to APA format, writing quality (including grammar and spelling) will count toward the final grade. Therefore, proofreading is strongly encouraged.

The typed paper is to be submitted via drop box in APA format with at least 1,700 words of text excluding titles, citations, etc. APA has 12 point Times font, double spacing, normal margins.

This must be your writing. No cutting and pasting from the internet or any other source. No quotes other than statistics are allowed.

ANY violation of these procedures will result in a very dramatic reduction in grade.

Grading

Your paper will be returned to you with an explanation of the grading on the back side of the front cover. Please understand that it is only a summary of the grading. I do not attempt to write a justification for each grading point. This is due to the limitations of time. The number of comments on each paper is NOT reflective of the grade. Sometimes, comments are just, well, comments.

You are graded on Organization, Content, and Clarity. Each category will receive either good, average, or weak. This is a highly structured argumentative essay.

Organization

Organization means the presence of a thesis statement, and four labeled discussion points. Each discussion point must relate directly to the thesis statement.

APA format is followed.

Negatives: thesis statement and/or four discussion points are not labeled or are missing, discussion points do not relate to thesis statement.

Good has all of the positives and no negatives, average is missing one positive or has a negative, all else is weak.

Content

Content includes research on the topic chosen. This is an economics course so an intelligent discourse using quantitative data is expected. Given your thesis statement, certain issues are expected to be discussed and, if missing, will lower your grade.

Negatives: misinformation or confusion as to how Social Security works, lack of economic or other data, missing costs or negatives of proposal, material that does not relate to the thesis statement.

Good has all of the positives and no negatives, average is missing one positive or has a negative, all else is weak.

Clarity

Clarity means that I can read it, understand it, and it clearly relates to the paragraph topic. This is from a point of view as an outside reader, not yours.

Negatives: lack of paragraphing, poor paragraph structure, contradictory statements, awkward phrasing, unreadable or poorly written sentences, poor grammar, spelling, etc.

Good has all of the positives and no negatives, average is missing one positive or has a negative, all else is weak.

Note: also considered is the frequency of each problem.
