Discussion:
Solution-Focused Approaches
Jose comes from a Mexican chauvinist culture where men are the head of the house, and strict, obedient child rearing is the norm. Emily, on the other hand, has an American view that children should be given choices instead of being told what to do. Jose does not feel respected because Emily always argues with what he says the children should do. Emily feels undervalued, as she is a stay at home mom, and believes that she, too, has a say in how her children are raised.
1.) Using a solution-focused approach, what kind of treatment should be set in place for the couple?
2.) Do any axis codes apply to this situation?
