In this video a 12 year old girl, Briana, is struggling with morbid obesity. She weighs over 300 pounds. She has been told that being this overweight will affect her health. She also feels very self-conscious about her weight and is bullied by her classmates. Briana's parents express concern about her health as well. When her mother is interviewed about what food she serves the family she appears to be very interested in making any necessary changes. A trip to the market to find out what she purchases for family meals reveals that she does not seem to know what would be best to prepare for Briana so she can lose weight. Briana's mother appears to be "stuck" on buying what she thinks are healthy foods which includes canned vegetables and very little fresh fruit and vegetables.Here is the link to the video, "A 12 Year Old's Struggle with Morbid Obesity"Describe how Briana's mother should change meal preparations to be healthier.

Assignment: Applying Humanistic/Experiential and Emotionally-Focused Theories The theories you studied last week target patterns of behaviors, but they also incorporate thoughts and feelings in the moment and over time. You continue your application of theories to couple and family counseling by examining the systemic-emotional aspects of relationships, the patterns of interaction between couples and families, and the meaning associated with those interactions. For this Assignment, you again watch media of counselors demonstrating counseling, this time using humanistic/experiential and emotionally-focused theories. As you develop treatment plans based on this week’s theories, ask yourself how you recognize emotion in the relational dynamics of the couple or family. Also, consider how you might know emotional changes have occurred and how you would measure progress. The Assignment (3–4 pages) Based on the theory demonstrated in one of the humanistic/experiential media resources: Define the problem. Formulate a theory-based treatment plan including short-term and long- term goals for the couple or family. Describe two theory-based interventions you would use and justify your selection. Explain one anticipated outcome of each. Based on the theory demonstrated in the emotionally-focused media: Define the problem. Design a theory-based treatment plan including short- and long-term goals for the couple or family. Describe two theory-based interventions you would use and justify your selection. Explain one anticipated outcome of each. http://www.psychotherapy.net/video/sa...
