Theory Integration Post Briefly Describe Your Lens in Treating Couples and The Theory You Selected from The Videos. Treating couples is very complex since it requires one to have an understanding of each person's perspectives and opinions. The theory I selected from the videos is the Bowen family system theory. According to the Bowen family system theory, one family member's behavior may influence another family member's behavior (Psychotherapy, 2010). Therefore, if all the family members behave accordingly, the family will be able to stay in harmony; however, if one family member does not behave accordingly, they may affect the other members, leading to significant challenges in the family. When treating couples, it is essential to assess their situation, actively listen to the couples, and observe body language (Gurman et al., 2015). Through observation, a social worker can develop treatment depending on what they learn, including weaknesses and strengths. According to the video, the central role of a social worker in treating couples using the Bowen family system therapy is to help them make whatever changes they want to improve their relationship. A couple's ability to improve their relationship lies in their connection. Then, Explain One Challenge You May Encounter If You Attempt to Integrate the Theory You Selected with Your Lens of Couples Counseling in Your Professional Practice. Then, Explain How You Might Mitigate This Challenge. Be Specific. One challenge I may encounter when implementing the Bowen family system theory when working with couples is if one individual has a negative perspective; this is because their negativity will affect the other person. When one does not consider other people's feelings and opinions, they may affect the therapy outcome. When dealing with an individual with a negative

perspective, it is essential to establish boundaries and know when to end the session, which is when the client crosses the established boundaries. Moreover, I will provide the couples with a non-judgmental environment, which will help them talk about their problems without worrying about the possibility of being judged.
