Review the Jamison Family Scenario that describes the initial intake session. Then, watch this third simulated session 2 video (https://mymedia.ou.edu/media/Social+Work+SimulationA+Narrative+FT+Session+Simulation+3/1_19soedms) that demonstrates another family therapy approach. Review the following readings. Then reflect the responses to the following:
1. For Session 2 using the Narrative Family Therapy approach:
What thick descriptions of the family members’ subjective experiences were revealed in this family therapy session?
How might the son’s problematic self-narrative story be contributing to his adolescent development How might the mother’s self-narrative story be contributing to her role & reactions?
Describe how the therapist utilizes externalizing and collaborating techniques with the mother & son to ally with them against their “problem” during the family session.
How does the therapist personify the problem and what characteristics of it are identified? Does this seem to be an effective with this family? Why or why not?
