Family Theory: Salvador Minuchin Center Of Family

471 Words2 Pages

There are 3 main points to be addressed; Mrs. Jones loses of independence and inability to take care of herself, her daughter Susie increases of responsibilities and reversal role where she will be now taking care of her mom, and the change to the family structure and dynamic where the rest of the family will need to adjust to their new roles and functions within the unit. This example demonstrate how, as cited by Edelman (2014), “change in one part or member of the family results in changes in the family as a whole” (p.152).
The family structural theory assists the nurse to evaluate the present and current situation of the family. As cited by Grand Canyon University (2011), “Salvador Minuchin designed family structural theory through his work with families in crisis”. According the Minuchin Center of Family (2012), “the family's structure consists of recurrent patterns of interaction that …show more content…

Contrary to the structural theory that evaluates the present family’s situation, the development theory assists to anticipate events or patterns within the family evolution. The nurse can use this theory to analyze the family’s progression and growth through each life cycle (Edelman, 2014). As cited by Grand Canyon University (2011), “Adaptation and new responsibilities come with each developmental stage and the tasks associated with it”. In this case, the family falls under stage 4 (family with children in school age) and also stage 8 (family with older adults). According to Edelman (2014), “specific tasks arise as growth responsibilities during family development. Failure to accomplish a developmental task leads to negative consequences” (p.152). Therefore, the nurse should be able to help the family to overcome this transition, providing them with the necessary tools such as community resources information, social worker consult, family education, strategies to make decisions,

    Introduction I am a 24-year-old Female who is working in the Pediatric Surgical Unit as a Registered Nurse at Hospital Authority. In the Calgary Family Assessment Model (CFAM), I learned about genogram and ecomap, which capture the structures and connections between and around the family (Rempel, Neufeld & Kushner, 2007). Also, the stages of the family life cycle (Carter & McGoldrick, 1988) sketched out how family members emotionally react and interact with the transition to roles and responsibilities. In the Calgary Family Intervention Model (CFIM), I noted the power of using interventive questions to unfold problems and promote behavioral transformation.

    If the family members cannot think through their responses to relationship dilemmas, a state of chronic anxiety may be set in place. According to Brown (1999.), the primary goal of family systems therapy is to reduce constant tension by enabling knowledge and awareness of how the emotional system functions; and by improving levels of differentiation, where the aim is to make changes for the self rather than on trying to change others. As per Richardson, Gilleard, Lieberman, and Peeler (1994), The short-term goal is to foster better relationships between family members of the different generations by understanding the family system with its rules and balances of power and to mobilize the system by reconstruing these rules and having the family observe its own

    lIn the book “The Glass Castle” there are examples of many different Family Developmental periods, however I will discuss one that stuck out to me the most. Family development according to the textbook “Family Theories: Foundations and Application” by Katherine R. Allen and Angela C. Henderson is “a longitudinal process of going through a hierarchical system of age and stage related changes” (Allen & Henderson, 84). This means that as a family there are various stages at different ages that result in different changes. For example, this can be seen within the book The Glass Castle in many ways. One way that stuck out to me the most was when Lori and Jeannette are making plans to transition into adulthood.

    Anybody needs a nurse hence the development of the need theory. Unitary human beings theory by Rogers believes that a person should be harmonized with the environment so that the person may attain maximum health potential. Self-care theory by Orem explains that a healthy person should have wholeness of the human structures, mental and body functioning. Her nursing theory suggested that as much as people seek for nursing attention from the experts, they first start their nursing with themselves and nurse their family members. Neumann’s system model theory looks at the environmental stressors, and the nurses try to retain and maintain the patients’ health through maintaining the patients’ system fit with the environmental system.

    In mapping this communication, the eight principles measured by Brown may become apparent not only to the therapist, but for the first time, the family may be able to see just how their functions are impeding the balance of their family and condoning strong exhibitions of universal traits within particular family members. The Bowen family therapy approach is invested in the intergenerational processes that are prevalent between generations (Bohlinger, 2010). By increasing differentiation between family members and between the generations, if possible, giving each triangle meaning rather than repetitive opportunities at increasing anxiety (Bohlinger, 2010). Focusing on this historical perspective, the origin of the family and environmental factors that surround the progress of this family, the genogram focuses itself on growth and self-actualization as the ultimate goal for the intervention (Nichols,

    It is crucial to acknowledge that each family is unique and different. The third strategy of family centered care is acknowledging that parents provide aptitude to both the individual care-giving level and the systems level. This strategy is the key element to argue the claim made by (Rosenbaum et al. 1998); Parents know their children best and want the best for their children. Health professional should recognize that not all the parents have the same intellectual ability to recognize what the best for the children and not all parents want the best for their children e.g. parents with munchausen syndrome.
