Purpose

The purpose of this discussion is to describe techniques of the Human Validation therapy model, and its application to Hispanic families.

Instructions

After having watched the Human Validation Family Therapy Video at right, answer/address the following:

• What goes into Jean's ability to make contact with members of the family?


• How do you evaluate the family interactions (in terms of placating, blaming, being irrelevant, and being super-reasonable)?


• How could one transform these dysfunctional/incongruent communication styles to congruent communications? Give at least one example.


• Are the techniques and principles of the Satir's communication model compatible with the communication styles of Hispanic families?
