Week #8 Worksheet Name Jamie Maisano-Mays Tradition Model that you are using Major goal of the model (summarized in a sentence or two): Structural family therapy promotes proactive change which is healthy and has a focus on structure within the family, the subsystems, and boundaries. Setting clear boundaries as well as shifting the hierarchical structure. The clinician allows for change to accomplish the restructuring and the reorganization within the family (Minuchin, 1974). Major assumptions of the model: All the family systems will want homeostasis which is a sense of balance and stability Each family has a subsystem, that is which holds onto the different levels of power within the family Enmeshed or rigid boundaries can prevent growth and closeness Families to be known that they are competent and capable in solving their issues The individual systems often may be a result within the entire family Looking at the assumptions you listed above; reflect on each assumption and how you feel it fits/does not fit with a cultural humility lens: Within the cultural humility there are key components such as openness, being “other-oriented” awareness, and being acknowledged through the power imbalances. These concepts have led to the families’ ideas to being more capable and competent within solving their own problems. Enmeshed and rigid boundaries could find to be difficult as operating through h cultural humility is present through boundaries which are within families varying from cultural to cultural where differences are present in terms of what the actual cultural norm is within the cultural boundaries. Homeostasis is a desire that all families want, but within cultural speaking terms it may look different of which is expected through the SFT model. Cultural humility could fit within looking into the whole system as many cultures will encompass multigenerational
living, and the individuals as presented as part of the whole unit either with extended family or with immediate family members. The sub-systems would support the view from the lens of cultural humility. The distinction between the martial/couple subsystem and effective within the parental hierarchy are viewed through the nuclear family lens as well as coalitions severed “Within the traditional extended Mexican American family. Within the Mexican cultural they tend to be more child focused as the parent-child subsystem is greatly emphasized, which then surpasses within the importance of the spousal subsystem. As the parents will expect children to obey without the questioning of any directive given. How has this model been used (according to the research) to address diversity/difference? (list 3-5 observations) Native American Families As clinicians will need to be mindful of their feelings which has been carried out by the Native Americans towards additional cultures which has a strong focus on the white culture. Within conducted research it shows that by the practitioner recognizing as well as being empathetic towards whether the family’s cultural has been considered as contextual within the family subsystems and asked if acculturation is presented as an issue or if there is disengagement within the subsystem or if enmeshment has been presented (Minuchin, 1974). If this has been presented, then how are the interactions and communication being affected? What are the changes that enhance relationships of the family subsystems? Understandings of the family subsystems which are within the family the influences that culture presents on the systems which is essential in the focus of effective therapy. African American Families African American mothers within the United States have been negatively impacted by the macro- and the microsystemic variables (Dickerson, 1995). “Minuchin’s Structural Family Therapy (SFT) serves to restructure the boundaries and the hierarchy for the woman and their children (Minuchin, 1974).” The SFT supports empowering single mothers to be within the top levels of the hierarchy and have presented to open a different approach within the work with ethnic minority woman.
