This order which integrates theoretical and empirical knowledge and applies it to social work practice with a family. Using the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding starting from the family dynamics in the beginning write about the family.
Please include the following:
• Briefly summarize the family composition in terms of demographic factors (age, gender, race/ethnicity, etc.)
• Briefly describe the types of problems that family members evidence (or present with)
• Briefly describe the strengths that the family presents with
• If assessing a family at an agency, briefly describe the type of agency or institution that is sponsoring the family intervention and how agency policy may help or hinder family intervention (movie critiquers may omit this).
• Assess the external as well as internal family environment, including family resources, boundaries, structure and communication. Include an ecomap and internal structural mapping (sometimes referred to as a genogram, but this is intended to reflect the household, not the historical lineage outside the household) as an appendices to your paper.
• Perform an Evidence-Based Practice literature search for the areas of family intervention that you will propose. State the question(s) you developed for searching, and briefly describe your search procedure and your findings.
• Delineate with specificity the actual intervention procedures that have been used (or are proposed to be used) to attempt change in the family system (for those writing about actual families) OR propose a detailed intervention strategy with specific proposed techniques for movie families. Describe how these have worked, or how you imagine they might if you are writing about a film family
• Give a theoretical rationale underlying the type of intervention (why should this type of family intervention be helpful?)
• Discuss actual or imagined issues of engagement or joining
• Describe the process and progress (or lack of it!) for real families and the anticipated process or progress for film families.
Papers should integrate theory and research that has been uploaded. It is expected that you will use the professional literature to justify all sections of your paper and to formally cite all sources. Multiple references should be drawn upon and integrated into your discussion (Do not just refer to one book or article throughout.). Need a minimum of 6 outside scholarly references for a total of 10 references.
Please follow this following outline
Part I:
1) Summarize family composition
2) Describe types of problems
3) Describe the strengths
4) If assessing a family in an agency, describe the agency
Part II:
1) Assess the external and internal family environment
2) Include an ecomap and genogram (appendices to paper)
Part III:
1) Perform an Evidence-Based Practice literature search for the family intervention you will propose
2) Clearly state the question(s) you developed for searching
3) Briefly describe your search procedures
4) Describe your findings (findings should back up intervention plan)
Part IV:
1) Delineate with specificity the actual intervention procedures that have been used or are proposed to be used
2) Describe how these may have worked, or how you imagine they might work if you are writing about a film family
3) Give a theoretical rationale underlying the type of intervention
4) Discuss actual or imagined issues of engagement or joining
5) Describe the process and progress (or lack of it) for real families and the anticipated process or progress for film families
Organization Presentation Style:
1) Papers should integrate theory and research that has been presented in class and course readings, as well as a minimum of 6 outside references, total of 10 references
2) Papers will be evaluated on the thoroughness of the assignment, depth and complexity of ideas, theoretical justification of content, integration of empirical evidence-based content
3) Ideas should be presented in a logical and coherent manner
4) Papers should be free of spelling and grammatical errors
5) Papers should adhere to APA style
