The clinician leading the family therapy session asks the family members to reenact the problem they are having. What is the primary purpose of this action?
1. To observe the differences in the portrayals among the family members
2. To understand current conflicting interactions among the family members
3. To understand intergenerational patterns of behavior among the family members
4. To observe the types of interactions that occur among the family members
Answer: 4
Explanation: The clinician who utilizes reenactment in family therapy is using a cognitive-behavioral theoretical framework. The purpose of reenactment is to observe the types of communication and interactions that occur among the family members. Bowenian family therapy seeks understand current conflicting interactions among family members, as well as to understand intergenerational patterns of behavior among the family members. Observation of the differences in portrayals among the family members is not the purpose of reenactment.
