Week 10 – Assignment: Develop a Culturally Sensitive Treatment Plan
After completing this week’s readings, you will produce a developmentally and culturally sensitive treatment plan for a mock client. From the assigned chapters in McGoldrick’s text, select one specific context that you would like to address in your treatment plan. It could pertain to sibling relationships, single adulthood, gender socialization, or sexual orientation. Develop a brief (one paragraph) case vignette that addresses an individual, couple, or family who are coming to see you as a therapist with a specific issue. Then, select a model from the list provided below:
Classical Models:
- Structural (Minuchin)
- Strategic (MRI, Jay Haley & Cloé Madanes, Milan)
- Bowen
- Experiential (Satir)
- Symbolic-Experiential (Whitaker)
- EFT (Susan Johnson)
- Internal Family Therapy (Schwartz)
- Contextual (Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy)
- Psychoanalytic (Object relational (Scharff & Scharff))
- CBFT (Behavioral (Falloon); CBFT (Epstein, Dattilio, Gottman)
Postmodern Models:
- Solution-focused (de Shazer & Insoo Kim Berg)
- Solution-oriented (Bill O’Hanlon)
- Ericksonian (Milton Erickson)
- Narrative (Michael White and David Epston)
- Collaborative (Harlene Anderson)
Based on the selected model, provide an outline of a treatment plan for the presented issue. The treatment goals and interventions should be based on the selected model and address development and culturally sensitive ways of discussing the presented issue with the described client(s). If you are not sure how to create the treatment plan, review the Treatment Planning, Mastering Competencies in Family Therapy video on the subject. Length: 3-4 pages
