applying narrative and solution focused therapy
Directions:
For this Assignment, view two of the media resources in this week’s resources (at least one narrative and one solution-focused video). Identify the couple’s or family’s issue(s) and begin to think about short- and long-term goals you might include in treatment plans for them. As you consider techniques or interventions to accomplish these goals, think about how you would measure progress in re-authoring or storytelling.

- Define the problem.
- Formulate a theory-based treatment plan including short- and long-term goals for the couple’s or family’s issues.
- Describe two theory-based interventions you would use and justify your selection.
