Role Play and Case Study

Role Play and Case Study As described in Unit 4, you will work with two partners to role-play a couple’s therapy, using Adobe Connect to record the sessions. Choose one of the following models: Emotionally focused couple therapy (EFT). Bowen family systems coaching. Solution-focused couple therapy. Narrative couple therapy. Structural couple therapy. Brief strategic couple therapy (BSCT). Your group can select a famous couple in a movie, television show, or novel from 2013 until the current day. You will be placed into groups of three, assigned by the instructor. You will each take turns in the role of the therapist and clients. Before the group meeting, you should collaborate with your team to decide which couple/case you will be using, so you are all familiar with the features of that couple on whom you can role-play and base the case study. Conduct the interview with each client, using Adobe Connect. Each segment of the role play should be at least 15 minutes long and should not exceed 20 minutes. This will allow the exercise to be conducted in roughly 1 hour for all involved. Allow time before and after to work out technical difficulties, introduce yourselves, and share any feedback or processing you want after each interview is complete. The role play should proceed as if it were a single session with the same couple, even though you will rotate through the roles of clients and therapist. The role play should be recorded and the recording made available to all team members afterward. You will use the role play to practice using the model. In this role play, you will develop questions based on the model chosen, assessments, and interventions consistent with your group’s chosen model. Before the role play, you will develop a list of questions that are model-specific to use for your role play. You might also want to start thinking about appropriate interventions and assessments according to your model, as well. If you are not the first therapist, you will need to track what has already been said and done in the role play and adapt your questions accordingly. To complete this assignment, you will submit your case study and a reflection paper. Your case study and paper for this assignment should include the following sections: Apply model-specific terminology and concepts to describe the case study. What case study did you select? What is the current life situation of the family? Describe the current couple relationship and if appropriate to your model, its history. Assessment questions and interventions strategies align with selected clinical model. How do your assessment questions and intervention strategies align to the selected model? Analyze how individual diversity affects the dynamics of the couple. What are the specific demographics and sociocultural influences that might impact the family system? (Including, but not limited to, influences of: gender, age, socioeconomic status, cultural background, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, physical ability, religious identity, immigration status.) Analyze both the explicit and implicit issues that are challenging for this couple. What is the identifying issue(s) that led this couple to counseling? What implicit factors might impact the identified issue or problem? What are the transitions that the couple are undergoing or anticipating? Create a plan to address or prevent any potential ethical issues in accordance with professional standards. What are the potential ethical issues? What methods or measures do you plan to put in plan to prevent or mitigate any ethical issues? Evaluate the ability to apply the selected therapy model to the case study. What worked well and what was challenging in using the selected model? What would you do differently next time? Note: Keep in mind that what you focus on in your case study and the language you choose to describe your clients will be contingent on the therapy model you have selected to apply. You should relate your case study to concepts from your model.
