PCN-521 Topic 5: Vargas Case Study

The Vargas family arrives to their 5th session together and on time. As a follow-up to last week’s focus on the family structure, you decide to consider a strategic approach this week. To check in, you invite them to share any feedback from last week’s session. Bob reports that he apologized to Elizabeth for “mishandling the suspension thing” then complains that Elizabeth is still “holding a grudge.” He admits that he often does not understand why she gets so upset and that he wants her to be happy. Elizabeth acknowledges that the apology “is a start” and suggests that the reason Bob doesn’t understand is that he “doesn’t ever listen” to her. Bob tells Elizabeth that he listens, but gets frustrated because he doesn’t know how to “fix it.”

You notice Frank and Heidi sitting together, quietly looking at a book while their parents talk. You inquire about any noticeable changes made during the week. Both parents claim to have made an effort to avoid raising his/her voice and report being pleased with their conduct. When asked about the children, Elizabeth reports noticing improvement. Bob, however, expresses frustration with Frank’s constant need of redirection and numerous reminders to complete his chores. Bob also noted an increase in Heidi’s demands for attention.

a patient lays on a couch to describe the inner thoughts they have and opening out about
experiences from one’s childhood and thus generally contribute to the sense of self hence finding
out how experiences from the past may have caused the issue.
The strategic therapist acts as coaches and not mere spectators who make observations passively
and make actions based on what is before them. As a result, the main characteristic of the
therapy is finding out how to address the issue only (Carr, 2012).
Haley and Chloe Madanes Approach
In Haley’s approach to therapy, the therapist develops the methods for solving problems which
are specific to how the Vargas family is developed or structured. The therapist thus sees the issue
as being a result of the interactions with people within the social circles. The therapist identifies
the symptoms of a specific pat...
