You are sitting in a case staffing meeting at your agency while several other social workers are discussing their new cases and receiving feedback and suggestions. Of the four following situations, which one WOULD NOT lend itself to Family Therapy?
a. A 17 year-old son who needs to separate psychologically from his family
b. A couple with two children that has decided to divorce
c. A separated couple with two children, one child in the family has an eating disorder
d. An enmeshed family, where improvement in one member is likely to cause distress in the other members
Ans: A. A 17 year-old son who needs to separate psychologically from his family
This is a situation where one member of structural unit needs to leave (or be pushed out) of the structural unit. Individual therapy and crisis intervention during the separation are the best possible therapy choices. Family therapy may be appropriate after the separation and after a set period of time has passed, in order to explore the new role.
