Instructions:
The purpose of this assignment is to consider a piece of clinical work with a couple or family in the context of cultural difference i.e. the family should be from a different culture
to your own. You should use and
reflect on the systemic concepts and theories introduced to you on the course so far and focus on culture. The family must be described anonymously. Key tasks are to
demonstrate your reflexive abilities and to
consider ethical and anti-discriminatory practice.
Please see what the paper should include:
The written summary should include the following:
Statement of confidentiality (done)
Context of the work (done)
Introduction to the context of the work (i.e. agency context, your role) and details of the number of sessions ( done)

hypotheses including any prior assumptions you may have held. (done)
Systemic account of the family within a cultural context (done might need work)
A brief account of the family, including brief information about e.g. family structure and patterns in relationships and over time, family life cycle and family scripts (done might need work)
– note you can make things up…
i have tried to write the ending, as you will see it needs help and needs connecting to systemic theapeutic conecpts such as but not limited to, burnhams social graces, not knowing position (goolishian), etc. you will see notes on the documdnt.
• Reflexive account of the work This is where i need help…
When describing the course of the therapeutic work , you should consider the interactions between the
family /couple and the therapist/practitioner.
*You should also include information on therapeutic relationship and pay attention to how the similarities
and differences between you and the family help or constrain the work.
*If applicable, the influence of the therapeutic team (if a team approach was used) and your position in the system.
*You will also need to demonstrate the ways in which you have thought about and attended to issues of power the impact of your own power, values, assumptions and ethics
Reflections and learning points (need help here too)
– This section should include your reflections of this piece of work has influenced your systemic practice including how your initial assumptions were challenged and how your hypotheses have changed.
– Students should note that this should be a descriptive account that should avoid pathologising the family.
