Homework: Personal Family Theory Paper
Length: 8 to 10 pages.
The homework is to submit a personal family theory paper. Choose the family theory or theories (no more than three) you are most drawn to. Examine the theoretical principles and how this or these approach(s) fit with who you are as a developing therapist. Discuss evidence-based outcomes that may exist in the peer-reviewed literature for this or these approach(es). Explore how you think family's change and how this theory or these theories, coincide with your ideas of change. Talk about how your theory, or theories, interacts with your concepts of mental health and wellness. What happens when psychopathology enters the picture and how does this occur? Please comment on how this theory helps you understand, and work with, the multicultural variable you anticipate that you will encounter as a clinician. Finally, discuss any limitations of this theory. What are your areas of growth with regard to integrating this theoretical approach(es) into your clinical style?
