Part 1: Read the entire “Vargas Family Case Study” (all eight sections). Consider the progress (or lack thereof) over the past eight sessions. Using the “Discharge Summary Outline” template; include the following in your outline:
- A brief summary of what was going on with the family
- A review of the initial treatment goals
- Theories and interventions used
- A brief discharge summary for the family treatment
- Clinical recommendations for sustained improvement or referrals for additional services
Part 2: Review the “Vargas Family Case Study” and the provided literature regarding current trends and integrative models of family therapy. Identify two potential evidence-based or integrative models to which you would consider referring the Vargas family if problems persist. Compose a 6-12-slide PowerPoint presentation to be shared with your class. Be sure to include the following elements for each of the two models:
- A brief overview of the model
- The target demographic and presenting concerns the model addresses
- The research supporting the model
- Please note: Online students need to include detailed speaker notes of what would be said if giving the presentation in person.
