  • Following this, you will demonstrate your ability to apply this theoretical perspective in practice by providing descriptions and examples of three specific family therapy sessions with the Del Sol family; the opening session, a middle session, and a closing session. Each session description should include the goal for the session, hoped-for outcomes, intervention strategies, sample dialogues and/or activities between the therapist and the family, and a plan for closing the session. Include cultural and ethical considerations that might arise in working with this family from this perspective.
