Unit 5 Discussion 2

Using Family Theories to Create Treatment Goals

For this discussion, you will practice analyzing a case and using the DSM to develop a differential diagnosis, and then selecting a family systems theory as the framework for establishing treatment goals.

Read Joanne and Reggie’s Case Study below, based on Shaw and Ingoldsby’s “Children of Divorce” (1999). In your initial post:

· Briefly analyze the micro (intra-individual and closest relationships and contexts) and macro (broader context) perspectives of how individual, family, community, societal, and cultural factors are affecting Reggie, Joanne’s son.

· Use the DSM to develop a tentative diagnosis for Reggie, Joanne’s son.

· Identify one of the three family systems approaches examined in this unit that you can apply to the case. Explain why you think it is appropriate for this case.

· Develop one long-term and two short-term treatment goals, based on the family systems theory you chose, with accompanying interventions.

· Explain your rationale for selecting each goal, and describe how the interventions you selected will help create change toward the goal.

Use APA style to cite and reference at least two sources from this Unit’s assigned readings. Your post should be between 250–500 words.
