Give an example of a family from your field site and how you might apply two or three components of family systems therapy to the situation, taking care to disguise client identities. Be specific, describing what techniques and skills you could use based on the readings and video. The family systems approach is a strengths-based approach that emphasizes the importance of communication and relationships within the family. The family systems approach can be helpful in a hospice field setting because it can help social workers understand the family as a unit, and all the members that make up the family.
