IntroductionFamily therapy is a form of psychotherapy used to assist family members in improving communication systems, resolving conflicts, and helping the family address certain behavioral problems of the members. In most cases, a family member's deviance is an indication of underlying family dysfunction. This article examines the counseling process that can be applied to help the Kline family resolve their problems. Answers some questions, including questions about expected challenges during therapy and ways to deal with challenges.1. What are your first reactions after reading the hiring interview? What are the topics that interest you most in this case? Why? From the hiring interview, I can already see some budding issues in the Kline family in addition to Gary's. Just looking back at the interview, I can understand that Gary's problems and depression may be a symptom of a larger problem in the family. One cause of Gary's problem may be a lack of adequate father-child time due to his father's busy schedule. His mother's alcohol addiction may also contribute to Gary's behavior. However, the mother's problems could also have their roots in the family. Another obvious theme here is the dysfunctional communication patterns that exist in the family. The family does not seem to have adequate communication methods and resorts to blame games. George blames Gail for most of the family problems while singling out Jessie and Garry and praising Jaimi. There is also an apparent sense of inferiority represented by Gary, who doesn't feel good enough in his father's eyes.2. How would you proceed as a family therapist in an initial session if you saw the whole…half of the paper…believed you had no role in the problems. Jaimi can be persuaded to participate by asking both parents to talk to her. Another major challenge is Gary's apparent involuntariness. Gary only seems to want to attend the hearings because he has received instructions from the court. He sees family therapy and individual counseling as two evils, of which he must choose one. Gary must willingly participate in sessions for the therapy to bear fruit. Conclusion Family therapy is an important way to resolve problems affecting family members. Requires participation of the whole family in some sessions. While working with the Kline family presents its own set of challenges, the challenges are not unique and are an integral part of counseling. Works Cited Corey, G. (2013).
