One of the issues that the family is encountering will be financially since they are a lot of members living in the same house. Another family member is Alejandro living with them who works and goes to college. Alejandro is fully bilingual and is trying to help his parents, but dislikes his job and has been feeling emotionally unstable. There is also Carmen who is hearing impaired due to Celia contracting rubella while pregnant. Carmen needs help figuring out what college she wants to attend and how to get scholarships and this will possibly put the family at a financial hardship. There’s also the other daughter Emilia who had Joey and he’s been with parents’ in

Within the film A Better Life there are many examples of situations that are seen as subjects which many people do not openly talk about. Circumstances such as illegal immigration and how people who do chose to enter the United States through backdoor channels can actually be a benefit to society and raise productive members of society. Furthermore, the movie depicts an illegal, Carlos Galindo and his struggles of maintaining a job, being a single parent, and at the same time evading detection from United States immigration officers. This struggle of trying to provide for his son Luis and make sure he maintains the correct direction which he is following to be a successful member of society is plagued by Luis’s friend, Facundo and his girlfriend, Ruthie Valdez. Both of Luis’s friends are on the track of being stuck inside of a Hispanic gang. This rips Luis in half due to his proper upbringing by his father Carlos. This paper will document multiple occurrences from the film and analyze the cultural significance for each event.

Chicano written by Richard Vasquez is a novel that shows how the American culture affects the Mexican society as well as many other societies in our community. The Sandoval family migrates into California knowing that they have a chance to start their lives over and they want more than what Old Mexico had to offer. America is into consumption, and the Sandoval family was bombarded by it. They were aware of the fact when they arrived in America, but in Mexico they were not aware of the other cultures and traditions out there. The Sandoval family was content with what they had in Mexico. But upon arrival they realized that the more they step into the American culture, the more they want. One can see the detrimental effects of American

Enrique has consistently lived with extended family members along with nonrelatives people in the home. The family had many issues with Enrique such as his anger and alcohol usage, and although they attempted to help him, he was asked to leave several homes because they had to protects their sanity and other members of the family. Enrique’s family illustrated a blend of both codependency as well as connectedness which aligns with the idea of familismo (Falicov, 2016). Even though many of the members were experiencing poverty and could not afford to take care of their own children, they cared for Enrique and her sister which demonstrates the idea that family closeness is paramount. The process of therapy would illustrate to Enrique the amount of support he had from his family and realize that although he was unable to maintain all connections, many members were there for him when needed.

In Representation of Mexican American Migrant the author writes, “both Rivera and Viramontes do not shy away from presenting the multiple forms of oppression experienced by migrant families, such as:… lack of access to medical and social services” (Rangl). The authors have both concluded that the family in La Tierra did not have access to medical services. As mentioned earlier in this article, In La Tierra the father gets sick and never gets to go to the hospital. The father stayed outside the house relying on his wife who was not a physician for the medical help he needed. The father could not get proper professional medical help because they lack access to medical help as mentioned in Rangel and Beck’s

Client Sanchez has a very close bond with her family, and uses them as her support system. She will be going through the assessment process and interventions with the assistance of her daughter.

In the Rivera family by their lonesome all they think to do is stay quiet and that causes things to unintentionally grow worse. They do so because they believe in the things they have going right in their lives that they don't jeprodaize themselves. There lies a disconnect in receiving these “Unknown Americans” troubles. Immigrants don't often seek help, in Alma’s case she isn't even seeking to tell her husband of the assault on their daughter. Yet Alma goes to consult the law enforcement after the assault of her daughter Maribel it wasn't effective enough to cause change in their home. “You don’t understand” Says Alma as she deal with the officer…“I had the

As expressed by Professor Waldinger, there are two factors that influence citizenship decision; cognitive and affective. Cognitive refers to does decisions that require critical thinking, it requires individuals to process things and making decisions based on the costs and benefits (Topic 8, Slide 34). The affective factor refers to those decisions made based on emotional costs and benefits and identity (Topic 8, Slide 34). Reflecting on these two concepts, Greta Gilbertson and Audrey Singer (2010) examines the reasons behind the Castillo family’s citizenship decision. With that in mind, this essay will seek to examine how cognitive and affective factors influence the citizenship decision of the Castillo Family.

Introduction The approach of psychoanalytic theory is vastly different than the approach of cognitive-behavioral theory in regards to understanding presenting problems and developing appropriate interventions. This paper will discuss and apply both the psychoanalytic perspective and cognitive-behavioral perspective to the Vargas family vignette to identify how problems are maintained in each theory and what the appropriate interventions are. Presenting Problems While it is important to acknowledge the families’ crisis of the week, it is critical that the therapist remains focused on how the crisis of the week is contributing to the bigger picture and how it is being sustained.

From family to family, generation to generation, and from parent to child. While most bequeath stories, land, maybe even heirlooms - my family, imparts generosity and valiance.

The theoretical framework, which was used to explain the situation that was going on with this family, is the Solution-focused. Just to clarify what this framework can offer, Bitter (2015), stated that clients have the inherent strength and resources to help themselves, every client is unique, nothing is all negative, and you cannot change clients, they can only change themselves. This was enough evidence to give reason for this selection of framework to study with my clients.

A long time ago, in a village beside the broad sea, there lived a family owning a pet snake named Orro. Orro’s family loved him very much and gave him goods that a normal snake could only dream of. He was taken care of well. At first, Orro just wanted food and a place to sleep and live. That’s what the family gave him. After, he decided that he wanted more food for he was growing bigger, and that’s what the family gave him. Finally, he decided he wanted a bigger place to himself, and so the family gave him the freedom of roaming the backyard. For Orro, he decided that he could have everything he wanted and grew a little arrogant. The family was okay with it for a while. But one day, Orro requested to extend his living quarters, but the
