Q

family theory - closed versus open boundaries

A

closed: tight restrictions on where family members can go and who may be brought into the system; rules regulate what information may be discussed and with whom
open: members and others are allowed to freely come and go without much restriction; info flows freely

Q

family theory - interdependence

A

individuals family members and subsystems are mutually influenced and are mutually dependent upon each other (i.e. what happens to one family member, or what one family member does, influences others)

Q

family therapy approaches - Bowenian family therapy (8 concepts)

A

differentiation - if more, family member can be individual while in emotional contact with family. ct can think through situation without being drawn to act by internal/external emotional pressure

emotional fusion - counterpart of differentiation, tendency of family members to share emotional response. because of diffuse interpersonal boundaries. little room for emotional autonomy (moves towards autonomy seen as abandonment by others)

multigenerational transmission - connection of current generation to past generations, natural. gives present a context in history

emotional triangle - network of relationships among 3 people. a relationship stable until anxiety introduced in dyad, then third party recruited into triangle to reduce overall anxiety

nuclear family - basic unit of family relationship. tend to form relationships with others outside of family unit with similar level of differentiation

family projection process

sibling position - factor in determining personality, influence on how individual relates to parents, siblings; determines triangles

societal regression - Bowen viewed society as a family system, problems such as depletion of natural resource (leading to societal anxiety)

Q

family therapy approaches - structural family therapy

A

social worker “joins” family in effort to restructure it

interpersonal boundaries - define individual family members and promote differentiation and autonomous, yet interdependent functioning. rigid enmeshment disengagement

boundaries with the outside world - define family unit, must be permeable enough to maintain well-functioning open system, allowing contact and reciprocal exchanges with social world

hierarchical organization - in families of all cultures, maintained by generational boundaries, rules of differentiating parent/child roles, rights, obligations

Q

causes of groupthink (8)

A
  1. illusion of vulnerability - creates excessive optimism that encourages extreme risk-taking
  2. collective rationalization - members discount warnings and do not reconsider assumptions
  3. belief in inherent morality - members believe in rightness of their cause, ignore ethical/moral consequences of decisions
  4. stereotyped views of those “on the out” - negative views of “enemy”
  5. direct pressure on dissenters - members put under pressure not to express arguments against group’s views
  6. self-censorship - doubts and deviations from perceived consensus are not expressed
  7. illusion of unanimity - majority view and judgments assumed to be unanimous
  8. self-appointed “mindguards” - members protect group and leader from contradictory information

25
industry versus inferiority (Erikson)
6yrs - puberty develop pride in accomplishments, initiate projects & follow through to completion successful - encouraged in initiative --> begin to feel industrious, confident in ability to achieve goals unsuccessful - initiative restricted --> begin to feel inferior, doubting abilities, failing to reach potential
26
identity versus role confusion (Erikson)
adolescence children becoming more independent, begin to look @ future in terms of career, relationships, housing, families, etc. successful - explore possibilities, begin to form identity based on outcome of exploration unsuccessful - hindered sense of who they are, confusion about themselves and role in the world
27
intimacy versus isolation (Erikson)
young adulthood share selves intimately with others, explore relationships leading towards long-term commitment with others outside family successful - comfortable relationships with sense of commitment, safety, care unsuccessful - avoiding intimacy/fear of commitment --> isolation, loneliness, even depression
28
generativity versus stagnation (Erikson)
middle adulthood establish careers, settle down with relationships, begin families, develop sense of being part of bigger picture
29
ego integrity versus despair (Erikson)
older adults, seniors
30
Mahler - normal autism
0-1 month infant detached, self-absorbed, spends time sleeping *Mahler later abandoned this phase
31
Mahler - normal symbiotic
1-5 months child aware of mother, doesn't have sense of individuality mother and infant one, barrier between them and rest of world
32
Mahler - separation/individuation
DIFFERENTIATION / HATCHING 5-9 months infant no longer ignorant of differentiation between self and mother increased alertness and interest for outside world mother as point of orientation PRACTICING 9-15 months infant begins to crawl, walk freely explore actively, becomes more distant from mother
33
Mahler - rapprochement
15-24 months infant again becomes close to mother - realizes that physical mobility demonstrates psychic separateness & may become tentative, keep mother in sight while exploring risk that mother will respond with impatience or unavailability - can lead to anxious fear of abandonment by toddler
34
Mahler - object constancy
24-38 months child understands mother has separate identity mental image of mother provides comfort/support unconsciously deficiencies in positive internalization --> insecurity, poor self-esteem, issues in adulthood
35
respondent behavior
involuntary bx (anxiety) that is automatically elicited by certain behavior stimulus elicits response
36
operant behavior
voluntary bx (walking, talking) that is controlled by its consequences in the environment
37
best known applications of bx modification
``` sexual dysfunction phobic disorders compulsive behaviors (overeating, smoking) training individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder or intellectual disabilities ```
38
Respondent or Classical Conditioning
pair previously neutral (conditioned) stimulus with unconditioned (involuntary) stimulus so that the conditioned eventually elicits response normally elicited by the unconditioned unconditioned stimulus --> unconditioned response unconditioned + conditioned stimulus --> unconditioned response conditioned stimulus --> conditioned response
39
Operant Conditioning
enforcing consequences increase occurrence of bx; punishing consequences decrease bx antecedent event --> response bx --> consequence
40
Operant Conditioning - positive reinforcement
^ probability that bx will occur - praising, given tokens, rewarding
41
Operant Conditioning - negative reinforcement
bx increases because negative (aversive) stimulus removed (eg. remove shock)
42
Operant Conditioning - positive punishment
presentation of undesirable stimulus following bx for purpose of decreasing, eliminating bx (eg. hitting, shocking)
43
Operant Conditioning - negative punishment
removal of desirable stimulus following bx for the purpose of decreasing,eliminating bx (eg. take away token, reward, dessert)
44
flooding (behavioral)
tx procedure, ct anxiety extinguished by prolonged real/imagined exposure to high-intensity feared stimuli
45
in vivo desensitization (behavioral)
move through anxiety hierarchy from least to most anxiety provoking situation - occurs in "real" setting
46
modeling (behavioral)
method in which model demonstrates bx to be acquired by ct
47
rational emotive therapy (RET) (behavioral)
cognitively oriented therapy - social worker seeks to change client's irrational beliefs by argument, persuasion, rational reevaluation, by teaching ct to counter self-defeating thinking with new, non-distressing self-statements
48
shaping (behavioral)
method to train new bx by prompting and reinforcing successive approximations of desired bx
49
systematic desensitization (behavioral)
anxiety inhibiting response cannot occur at same time as anxiety response, so pair anxiety-producing stimulus with relaxation-producing response. ct reaction (fear, dread) is overcome by pleasant feelings as new bx reinforced by reward (compliment, gift, relaxation)
50
time out (behavioral)
removal of something desirable (negative punishment technique)
51
token economy (behavioral)
ct receives tokens as reinforcement for performing specific bx. tokens function as currency within environment, can be exchanged for goods, services, privileges
52
sensorimotor (Piaget)
0-2 yrs - retains image of objects - develops primitive logic in manipulating objects - begins intentional actions - play is imitative - signals meaning - infant invests meaning in event - symbol meaning (language) begins in last part of stage
53
preoperational (Piaget)
2-7 yrs - progress from concrete to abstract thinking - comprehends past, present, future - night terrors - acquires words, symbols - magical thinking - thinking NOT generalized - can NOT see other point of view - thinking centered on one detail or event *IMAGINARY FRIENDS - emerge in this stage, most know not real and only pretend that they are. SOCIAL WORKER SHOULD NORMALIZE
54
concrete operations (Piaget)
7-11 yrs - beginnings of abstract thought - plays games with rules - cause and effect relationship understood - logical implications are understood - thinking independent of experience - thinking reversible - rules of logic developed
55
formal operations (Piaget)
11 through maturity - higher level of abstraction - planning for the future - thinks hypothetically - assumes adult roles, responsibilities
56
Piaget (general)
cognitive development, process of acquisition of knowledge children learn through interaction with environment and others moral development (further developed by Kohlberg)
57
6 stages of moral reasoning (Kohlberg)
preconventional - elementary school age (before 9yrs) (1) - child obeys authority, fear of punishment (2) - child acts acceptably because in best interests conventional - early adolescence (3) - person acts to gain approval from others (good boy, good girl orientation) (4) person obeys laws and fulfills obligations, duties to maintain social system, RULES, avoids censure, guilt postconventional - adult (5) - genuine interest in welfare of others, concerned with individual rights (6) - guided by individual principles based on broad, universal ethical principles
58
types of power
coercive - from control of punishment reward - from control of rewards expert - from superior ability or knowledge referent - from having charisma or identification with others who have power legitimate - from having legitimate authority informational - from having info
59
family life cycle
1. family of origin experiences 2. leaving home 3. premarriage stage 4. childless couple stage 5. family with young children 6. family with adolescents 7. launching children 8. later family life
60
Maslow's hierarchy of needs
``` self-actualization (growth need) esteem (deficiency needs) social - love and belonging (deficiency needs) safety (deficiency needs) physiological (deficiency needs) ```
61
racial identity development stages
pre-encounter encounter immersion-emersion internalization and commitment
62
social exchange theory
total potential benefits and losses to determine behavior
63
stages of grief
denial (and isolation) - "this can't be happening to me" anger - "why me," blame bargaining depression acceptance HOPE IS NOT A SEPARATE STAGE - POSSIBLE AT ANY STAGE
