Week 7 Assignment: The Reflecting Team, sociology homework help

For this assignment, you can choose to watch one of the following videos upon which to base your assignment:

“Reauthoring Lives in the Face of Lost Dreams” (Michael White with Reflecting Team, run time 1 hr. 45 minutes).

“Escape from Bickering” (Michael White with Reflecting Team, run time 1 hr. 33 minutes).

Note: The links for the videos are available in the Week 7
resources area.Depending on your Internet speed you may have to wait up
to 60 seconds for the video to buffer and start playing after clicking
the play button.

Of course, you are encouraged to watch both videos for the learning value you would gain.

After watching the selected video, write a reflection paper. In the
consultation on the video, the specific problems of the client family
are addressed. Michael White and the Reflecting Team focus in on the
issues presented. In your reflection paper, please address each of the
following (use the bolded words as headers to organize your paper):

1. In what ways does Michael White move to shift the meanings and beliefs of the clients?
   Cite three or more examples. Be specific and use the actual words and
   dialogue of the client and therapist to illustrate your examples.
2. In what ways does Michael White seek to restructure client interactions or direct the client to change his or her behavior?
   Cite three or more examples. Be specific and use the actual words and
   dialogue of the client and therapist to illustrate your examples. How
   effective were Michael White’s interventions into the meanings and
   directed behavior change? Were you convinced that these methods were
   working?
3. Comment on your impressions of the use of the Reflecting Team.
   What purpose did the Team serve? Was it effective? Cite examples
   supporting you perceptions. How might you use the idea of a reflecting
   team without necessarily having one (they are a bit too expensive for a
   private or agency practice)?
4. Social constructionist therapists work to stabilize, normalize, and create acceptance in clients as methods of solving the concerns of clients. They also focus on strengths and resiliency. Cite at least two or more examples, in detail, where you witnessed this strategy.
5. How could mental health recovery concepts be applied to the case in the video you selected?
