Answer: Answer:
Bowen family systems theory is a theory of human behavior that views the
family as an emotional unit and uses systems thinking to describe the complex
interactions in the unit.


Often people feel distant or disconnected from their families, but this is more feeling than fact.


It views the family as an emotional unit. When systems thinking-which evaluates
the parts of a system in relation to the whole- is applied to families, it suggests
behavior is both often informed by and inseparable from the functions of ones
family of origin.

Families so profoundly affect their members' thoughts, feelings, and actions that
it often seems as if people are living under the same emotional skin. People solicit
each other's attention, approval, and support and react to each other's needs,
expectations, and upsets.


In this scenario, the PMHNP, demonstrates the Bowen family systems theory by
having the family talk and observe their emotions. The mother projects her
concerns onto the children which one of them conforms to her way of thinking to
gain approval from her.


Her emotions are directly affecting others and causing an issue between the whole
family. This is a complex emotional unit which is the Bowen Family System Theory

arguing frequently. When using a strategic family therapy approach, which of the
following directives might the PMHNP suggest to create a sense of
togetherness?
Selected
Answer: A.

Encourage the family to address concerns by writing letters to each
other

Answer:

The directives that the PMHNP might suggest to create a sense of togetherness is Exaggerate in a
fun family ritual preparing for the event in a specific order

Strategic family therapy focuses on helping family members through the issuance of directives and the
use of carefully planned interventions. Sometimes, strategic family therapy may appear in direct
opposition to the treatment goals. A strategic family therapy utilizes a problem- focused directive and
a practical approach in the treatment of a family issue. Strategic family therapy provides the family
with the essential tools that will help overcome the family risk factors. The therapist's role is to identify
the interactional patterns in the family. After identifying the problem in the family, the therapist assists
the family change the negative patterns in order to improve the family functioning.

In this case, the family is in therapy because they have been unable to resolve conflicts and are arguing
frequently. The PMHNP should exaggerate in a fun family ritual preparing for the event in a specific
order. By so doing, the PMHNP will identify the problems in the family interaction and be able to
design the appropriate interventions that will help the family handle the problems. The PMHNP should
begin by identifying the negative interaction patterns and be able to create a sense of togetherness.
The steps in strategic family therapy include; identification of solvable problems, goals setting,
designing interventions, examining the responses, and examining the outcomes of the therapy. For this
reason, the correct answer is exaggerate in a fun family ritual preparing for the event in a specific
order
