Family Therapy
As a new social worker, after learning the dos and don’ts in the line of duty, I have several ways I can apply what I have learned. I will take time to understand the family that I’m supposed to help. How the family identifies itself and how close or distant they are to each other. Their culture, race, religious beliefs, family rituals, external support, and socio-economic status. I will respect their current chaotic situation with no judgments whatsoever. It will help me speak at the level at which they are functioning, hence helping them heal (Samudio, 2015). Respecting them will make me avoid any unnecessary suggestions which will not allow them to heal. I will strive to develop a therapeutic alliance with the family members to expand their support system. It can help create a safe space for them to open up to me, making it easy to help them. If using my personal experience with my family can help the family, I will gladly use it. I should always have a strategic plan for solving the problems that the family could be facing.
Social workers pass through many challenges when it comes to dealing with families. Lack of communication among family members makes them not express their feelings or thoughts appropriately. It makes some not listen to others’ opinions and react inappropriately in actions and words (Roberts et al., 2014). In some families, there is mistrust, anger, and resentment because of communication breakdown. Any family member who is a drug addict will think that the other family members are attacking them when they question their behavior. There is so much pain hidden in the anger, which is hard to surface. Some family dynamics are unhealthy. Trusting and believing the best about the family can enable some very bad habits like taking drugs because they are given money, have their bills paid, and their loved ones are creating excuses for them.
