  • MFT Prep 1

    This assignment focuses on the sociological imagination. Please read chapter 1 in the textbook. Respond to questions below.

    Assignment Questions

    1. According to C. Wright Mills, how does the sociological imagination enable individuals to understand their lives within the context of society?
    2. What is the difference between troubles and issues?
    3. Music and the Sociological Imagination
    • (3a) Choose a song in which the lyrics focus on a social issue. Identify the song title and artist.
    • (3b) Identify the social issue(s) presented in the song.
    • (3c) Briefly discuss how the social issue(s) is/are affecting individual lives.

    Example for Question 3 Only: Stacye Blount’s Responses for this Assignment

    • (3a)The song that I would choose for this assignment is “War,” by Edwin Starr.
    • (3b)The lyrics focus on war and its negative consequences.
    • (3c) War has devastating effects on individual lives . . . death, trauma, grief, possible mental health challenges, family disruption, etc.

  • Explain the Application and Reflection of Case

    From your own perspective, what is the presenting problem in this scenario, and why would you label this as the biggest problem in this couples relationship?

    2) What do you see about the man and the woman in this example that play a role in how the problem became as big as it is?

    3) What do you notice or hear as the therapist talks to the couple that you would define as context to the problem (e.g., clients background, race, religion, and other cultural differences)?

    4) Using either SPAMO or SMART goals, provide at least two examples of questions you would ask in order to learn more about the clients goal for therapy.

    5) If you were to label a direction for therapy in the future, what would you say is the most important direction for therapy (e.g., what would your perception of one major goal be)?

    For the second part of your paper, you will reflect on the same questions as above, but rather than focusing on what you thought, you will put on structural glasses and consider what a structural therapist might explore. (Note: You may need to review the readings from the week on structural family therapy).

    Reflect on the following questions, which will make up Part Two of your paper:

    1) From a structural perspective, what is a presenting problem in this scenario? Why do you think structural therapists would label this as the problem?

    2) How would a structural therapist define how this couples system is working and how the man and the woman in this example that play a role in how the problem got to be as big as it is?

    3) What do you think a structural therapist might notice or hear about as the therapist talks to the couple that they might define as context to the problem (e.g., clients background, race, religion, and other cultural differences?)

    4) If a structural therapist had to identify one direction for this couple, what might be one goal for future therapeutic work according to the structural model?

    5) What is one intervention or tool that a structural therapist might use as a guide to help them reach that goal?

    How do categories impact our lives? What if we don’t neatly fit into the categories? How have people tried to categorize you? Were they always right and what was their reactions when you didn’t fit? How does what you watched/listened to “complicate” the categories (male, female)? In what ways do the categories matter? Is society ready to embraced more than 2 categories?
