Change occurs through action-oriented directives and paradoxical interventions.
Role of the Therapist
• Therapist delivers directives that facilitate change, particularly around patterns of communication.
• Focuses on solving problem/eliminating symptoms
• Designs a specific approach for each person’s presenting problem
Treatment Goals Interventions
• Paradoxical Directives: Maneuvers that are in apparent contradiction to the goals of therapy, yet are actually designed to achieve them; paradoxical interventions help avoid confrontation with therapist’s instructions; undermines resistance by keeping client in charge
• Positioning: Therapist takes a more exaggerated and extreme view of the problem and the family is obligated to rebel. That leads to them seeing the ways in which they have competency.
• Homework: Assignments or directives that take place outside of therapy is essential to the therapy having a successful outcome. The underlying goal of the homework is to try to change the way the family dynamics function around the presenting problem that was identified in session.
• Prescribing the Symptom: A strategy in which the therapist encourages or instructs the client to engage in or practice the symptom.
• Restraining: The therapist will discourage change or changing too quickly in an effort to elicit the desire to change from the client.
• Ordeals: Particular type of symptom prescription in which clients are encouraged to carry out harmless but unpleasant tasks whenever symptoms occur; example: having to get up and clean the basement every time the client cannot sleep.
Phases of Treatment
Beginning: Define the problem; determine how the client understands the problem; assess family’s destructive patterns of relating and communicating the continued problem; state goals – what behaviors need to change and what would be the signs of change
Middle: Review attempted solutions; assign ordeals; prescribe the problem; relabel behavior; instruct client to respond to the problem in a new way
End: Plan for maintenance of new behavior; plan for future challenges; emphasize positive changes made. |
