Clinical must review Flashcards
Communication theory (family and group)
Contributes to family therapy, repetitive patterns of communication and interactions that cause problem behavior (how we interact with schizophrenics)
General Systems Theory (family and group)
inteactions come from rules and have homeostic mechanisms that maintain stability and equailbrium
Double-bind communication (family and group)
- Schizophrenia -person gets 2 messages from family that contradicts and cannot comment
- Symmetrical interactions-equality, similar as the other, 1-upmanship
- Complementary interaction-inequality and behavior one person complements the behavior of the other. dominate and subordinate role
Socratic Dialogue
- Beck client asks questions to
- define problem
- identify thoughts
- evaluate consequences of bad behavior
Collaborative Empieism
Beck therapist and client co investigate accept support reevaluate or reject assumption, intention or belief
Symmetrical Interactions (communications theory)
one upmanship equality elicits similar behavior in someone else
Complementary interactions (f & g) (communications theory)
dominant and subordinate role inequality (polar opposites attract) behavior of one complements behavior of other (messy and neat person attract)
Extended Family Systems (EFS)
Bowen -aka Intergenerational and transgenerational family therapy -goal is differentiation (think of a bow and the D in the bow for differentiation) 2 people try to rope in a 3rd -origination of therapy with schizophrenic families and children -therapist is the coach -family will speak to therapist not each other
Extended Family Systems (EFS) -Differentiation -Intrapersonal -Interpersonal
- Differentiation- both intra and interpersonal
- Intra-personal distinguish between own feelings/thoughts
- Inter-personal differentiation decrease can be emotionally fused with other family members
EFS Emotional Triangle
dyed 3rd family member (mom-dad, kid or mom-kid, dad)q
EFS-Family Projection
Process-project emotional immaturity on to family
EFS- Multigenerational Transmission Process
extension from one generation to the next
EFS therapy
therapist sees client and family at the same time increase family differentiation ask questions to diffuse emotion teach family how to engage and interact support family while being neutral and avoid family emotional process *talk directly to therapist vs each other
Structural Family therapy-Minuchin
goal is to unbalance family structure (alter hierarchal relationships) create boundaries/restructure the family
Structural Family therapy Subsystems Boundaries
- Subsystem-similar units for specific tasks (nursing mom)
- Boundaries-implicit and explicit rules of contact oververly
- diffiused-enmeshed relationship clear boundaries-
- close relationship overly ridged-disengaged relationship
