Marriage and Family Therapy: Health and Illness Class
Paragraph 1: List 5-7 key points from the reading that could serve as a reference for a session working with the family of a child with an illness. Use bullet points and complete sentences.
Paragraph 2: Zubatsky and Mendenhall (2018) discuss MedFT’s need to remain sensitive to the myriad of emotions and mentalities that diabetic patients and their families express when approaching family collaboration. They also note the influence of diversity on conceptualization of illness and ‘habitudes,’ including traditional foods that may be harmful to the patient’s health. How can a family be guided to form ‘habitudes’ that benefit their relative with diabetes, themselves, and future children, while honoring their cultural values?
Paragraph 3: The review of family relational stress and pediatric asthma article introduces the Biobehavioral Family Model as a multilevel systemic biopsychosocial model. One of the concepts of this model is the family emotional climate which refers to the “intensity and valence of emotional exchange” within families. In addition, Rolland describes the potential for high levels of emotional reactivity of family members to illness. Knowing that individuals and cultures express emotions differently, how would you assess and address emotional reactivity and emotional climate in a family in a culturally sensitive way?
