Part 1: Read the entire "Vargas Family Case Study" (all eight sections). Consider the progress (or lack thereof) over the past eight sessions.
Using the "Discharge Summary Outline" template; include the following in your outline:
A brief summary of what was going on with the family
A review of the initial treatment goals
Theories and interventions used
A brief discharge summary for the family treatment
Clinical recommendations for sustained improvement or referrals for additional services
Part 2: Review the "Vargas Family Case Study" and the provided literature regarding current trends and integrative models of family therapy.
Identify two potential evidence-based or integrative models to which you would consider referring the Vargas family if problems persist.
Compose a 6-12-slide PowerPoint presentation to be shared with your class. Be sure to include the following elements for each of the two models:
A brief overview of the model
The target demographic and presenting concerns the model addresses
The research supporting the model
Please note: Online students need to include detailed speaker notes of what would be said if giving the presentation in person.
