How would you begin to treat an individual within a system designed to treat an entire family?
  1. Make direct requests that would not change the dynamic
  2. Focusing more on the way that the IP contributes to the family
  3. Focusing on how the parents focus on that individual
  4. Disregard whatever dynamic has formed thus far to see the emotions
Explanation
Answer - B - By looking at individual contributions to the family, you are able to connect the individual’s contributions to the family dynamic and to understand the dynamic for the point of view of the IP. You cannot very well disregard the dynamic and focusing on how someone else sees something is usually less effective than knowing how it presents to you. Lastly, do not be afraid to change the dynamic if it could benefit your treatment in some way.
