Model Comparison
During this quarter, you have learned about many important models of family therapy. These family therapy models, or schools, represent lenses through which we view and make meaning of clients’ lives and the challenges that they are experiencing within the context of their relationships. You have also learned a little about modernism and postmodernism and how these philosophical approaches impact our understandings of how therapeutic change happens and the stance and role of family therapists in the therapy room.

For this assignment, write an 8–10 page paper that summarizes the major concepts, the theory of change, and the stance and role of the therapist for one modernist and one postmodernist family therapy model. You should compare and contrast their theories of change and how the therapist positions herself or himself in relation to the clients, and summarize the significant differences between the modernist and postmodernist theories you chose in your conclusion.

Modernist family therapy theories to choose from: structural, strategic, Bowenian or intergenerational, Virginia Satir’s experiential family therapy, and Carl Whitaker’s symbolic experiential therapy.
Postmodernist family therapy theories to choose from: Narrative therapy (Michael White, David Epston, Stephen Madigan), solution-focused therapy (Steve de Shazer, Insoo Kim Berg, Bill O’Hanlon), Harlene Anderson’s collaborative language therapy.

Case Study Analysis: Early Childhood

Overview
As you have been reading, there are multiple aspects of development in the early years, including cognitive, emotional, social, and the development of a sense of self. What are the risk factors in a baby's life that prevent healthy emotional development? How do different parenting styles affect a child's development of a sense of self? For this assignment, you will apply the concepts you've learned in order to complete an analysis of a case study that deals with the early childhood stage of development.

Case Study that I picked:

Terry and Bill, married for 5 years, are a Black couple who live in a small suburban community. Terry graduated from high school and worked as a receptionist before her marriage to Bill, a communications company manager. Because both of them believed that mothers should stay at home with young children, Terry quit her job when she had her first child, who is now an intense and active 4-year-old daughter named Dawn. Both parents were very attentive to their daughter and enjoyed caring for and playing with her when she was a baby. As Dawn got older, she became more active and assertive. When Dawn fussed, resisted, or showed frustration, Terry was patient and affectionate with her. She was able to coax Dawn out of her bad temper by making up little games that Dawn enjoyed. Both Terry and Bill liked Dawn’s spirited personality. Because her parents wanted her to have access to playmates. Dawn attended a church-related program for toddlers and preschoolers three mornings a week. 

When Dawn was 3 years old, Terry gave birth to the couple’s second child, a son named Darren. Soon after the baby’s birth, the family learned that Darren had a congenital heart problem that would require ongoing medical treatment and a specific regimen of care at home. Darren was an irritable baby. He fussed for long periods and was very difficult for Terry to soothe. Because of Darren’s need for medical care and the limitations of Bill’s medical insurance, the couple soon found themselves in financial difficulty. Bill began to take on overtime work at the company to subsidize some of the bills and was away from the home several nights a week and part of each weekend.

Terry found the care of two demanding young children and the worries about money to be increasingly more stressful. She was always tired and seemed to have less patience with her family. Although she once had the leisure time to read to Dawn, to take her for walks, and to help her master tasks that proved frustrating, Terry now had to shift her attention to the care of her medically fragile infant. Because Dawn looked so grown-up compared to the vulnerable newborn, Terry began to perceive her daughter as able to do many things for herself. When Dawn demonstrated her neediness by clinging or whining, Terry became abrupt and demanded that Dawn stop. Many battles revolved around Terry’s new rule that Dawn have a nap or “quiet time” each afternoon so that mother and baby could get some rest.

One day, Dawn’s preschool teacher, Mrs. Adams, asked to speak with Terry. Mrs. Adams noted  that Dawn’s behavior was becoming a problem in the morning preschool sessions. Dawn had begun throwing toys when she became upset and often refused to cooperate in group activities. Terry was greatly embarrassed to hear about her daughter’s misbehavior. Dawn was the only Black child in the small class, and her mother wondered if this was part of the problem. When Terry got home, she put her tearful, clinging daughter in her room for time-out for being bad at school. She loved Dawn, but she could not tolerate this kind of behavior, especially when Darren needed so much of her time. She began to wonder if she and Bill had spoiled their daughter. Terry feared that Dawn would have problems when it came time for her to enter kindergarten if they didn’t take a strong stand with her now.

Discussion questions
1.    Explain Dawn’s behavior from an attachment point of view. How would you describe Dawn’s attachment history?
2.    Describe Terry’s parenting style. Has thee style changed? What suggestions would you make to Terry and Bill handling this problem?
3.    What are some of the contextual influences on Dawn’s behavior?

back    at    all    the    works    of    art    that    have    been    produced    over    the    course    of    history,    why    is    it    
important that people remember and learn about this one? What did it mean at the time,
and    what    does    its    preservation    stand to    add to    future    human existence?
There    are    three stages    for each TCP assignment:
1.    writing    and    posting    your    proposal as    instructed    below,    
2.    posting    “challenge questions” under your fellow classmates’ TCPs, and
3.    responding to    the “challenge questions” that your classmates    have    asked    you    
about    your    TCP,    and    defending    your    choice.

Each TCP should start with the following basic information:
1. The name of the work.
2.    Creator    of    work (if    known).
3.    Date    or    approximate date of work.
4. A    detailed description of the work (limit summary to one paragraph maximum,
then limit further description to those aspects of the work that help you best make
your arguments for its preservation)
5. A    general discussion of the historical context of its time (what were some of the
major events that shaped life at the time the work was created?).
The    following    questions    should    then    be    addressed    for    each    work:
6.    How is    this    work typical of    its    era? (Be    specific as to    what    was    typical    of    its    era,    
and    how    the    work    fits    into    the    cultural    context    of    the    era.    This    section    should
specifically discuss form    and content trends of the art styles at the time, that is, what
typical art forms looked like or sounded like, and what subject matter was typical
for that art form.)                                                        
7. How is the work innovative or unusual for its time? (Be specific as to why this
piece stands out from    its peers.)
8. How was the work received in its time, and why? (Give evidence.)
9.    What do    people    today    think    about    the    work?    (Give    evidence.)    How    do    you    account    
for    any    differences    between    reception    then    and    today?
10.    What is    your    personal reaction    to    the    work? What about it do    you find    
particularly meaningful? (Be specific.)
11.    How does    this    work compare specifically to    one    other    work    of    its    type    and/or
time? (Prepare at least a couple paragraphs of discussion, devoted to comparing and
contrasting this work to another in specific terms. This analysis may be
incorporated    into    your    answers    for    questions #1 and #2 above, or may be its own
section    depending    on    your    style.    Just be    sure    to    address    all of    these    questions    in    
some detail.)
12. What about this work is most significant for future generations to be aware of?
