Please review the following article: Doing Family Therapy as a New Social Worker: The Do's and Don'ts. While this article mentions family therapy, please consider the skills of a beginning Social Worker/Case Manager as you read this article. After reviewing this article, please consider the following in your discussion post: Please share your thoughts on how you can apply this information as a Social Worker. What do you think are some of the benefits/challenges in working with families? To receive full credit, you will need to post one substantial post. Each discussion post should be a minimum of 250 words or one page. Provide two substantial responses to your classmate’s posts. These responses should also be substantial and provide thoughtful reflection. Your initial discussion post should be posted by Wednesday and your two responses due by Sunday. These are all great tips and information that I can apply in assisting families. What I need to remember is that yes, these individuals come from the same family, but they still will think differently. They each may have a different perspective and outlook on certain issues. So when I treat them I need to keep this in mind. There is no "one size fits all" when it comes to individuals in therapy, even if they are from the same family. So with all that being said, I still need to recognize that the family also will have their own identity and a collective uniqueness. They have their own ways of coping with problems. To understand the innerworkings of the family I will ask the same questions to each family member and analyze the answers. The answers will allow me to interpret if there are differences in perception. It's also a good tip as a new social worker not to let yourself get pulled into the family's chaos. Once you develop the individual treatment plan for each family member you must stick to it. Once those plans are in place and actually helping, "then the family as a whole" treatment plan might be easily implemented. I think the benefits and challenges in working with families can be the same things. Whether the intervention is good or bad, it is affecting several people. It may be challenging to get everyone on the same schedules and getting them to see each other's perspective on things.
