Case study, mohr chapter 15, families and family interventions
In order to successfully navigate this period of adjustment, each member of Wanda’s family will need to assume different roles while continuing to provide support for one another. They may find themselves engaging in more problem-focused conversations such as discussing strategies for coping or ways in which they can better assist one another; all while maintaining open lines of communication where feelings can be expressed without fear or judgement. Additionally, effects from outside sources (e.g. therapy) may be utilized to increase understanding and help bridge any gaps between individuals.
Overall, when faced with major upheaval families often have no choice but to come together and work through difficult circumstances—in this way a system can adapt by learning from its mistakes and growing stronger as a result. By recognizing that every person plays an essential role in times like these, Wanda’s family will be better prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead on their journey towards healing and recovery.
