For this Assignment, as you compare structural and strategic family therapy, consider which therapeutic approach you might use with your own client families

Assignment 1: Structural Versus Strategic Family Therapies Although structural therapy and strategic therapy are both used in family therapy, these therapeutic approaches have many differences in theory and application. As you assess families and develop treatment plans, you must consider these differences and their potential impact on clients. For this Assignment, as you compare structural and strategic family therapy, consider which therapeutic approach you might use with your own client families. Learning Objectives Students will: • Compare structural family therapy to strategic family therapy • Create structural family maps • Justify recommendations for family therapy To prepare: • Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide on structural and strategic family therapies. • Refer to Gerlach (2015) in this week’s Learning Resources for guidance on creating a structural family map. The Assignment In a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following: • Summarize the key points of both structural family therapy and strategic family therapy. • Compare structural family therapy to strategic family therapy, noting the strengths and weaknesses of each. • Provide an example of a family in your practicum using a structural family map. Note: Be sure to maintain HIPAA regulations. • Recommend a specific therapy for the family, and justify your choice using the Learning Resources. Note: The School of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references. The sample paper provided by the Walden Writing Center provides examples of those required elements (available at http://writingcenter.waldenu.edu/57.htm). All papers submitted must use this formatting. By Day 7 Rubric Detail Select Grid View or List View to change the rubric’s layout.

Total Points: 100 Name: NURS_6650_Week4_Assignment1_Rubric Week 4: Structural and Strategic Family Therapy Individuals are born into families, grow and develop in families, and live most of their lives in families. Therefore, it makes sense that clients are best understood within the context of the family system. ——Dr. Candice Knight, Psychotherapy for the Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurse The family system is a social unit that is based on unique relationships and roles. Structural and strategic therapies are important, because they offer unique insights to the theoretical underpinnings of this system. As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, a strong theoretical foundation will help you better understand the family unit and family therapy; this understanding will, in turn, improve the effectiveness of your work with clients. This week, as you continue exploring family therapy, you examine structural and strategic family therapies and their appropriateness for client families. You also consider your own practicum experiences involving family therapy sessions. Learning Resources Required Readings Nichols, M., & Davis, S. D. (2020).
