Application of Family Therapy- THE THERAPY BEING USED IN THE ATTACHED CASE STUDY WILL BE NARRATIVE THERAPY. THE OUTLINE ATTACHED SHOULD BE ANSWERED PERCISLEY AND CLEARLY. BELOW ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT

Appendix B

Students will be provided with a selection of case studies involving a number of family structures and complex presenting issues. They will be asked to plan an assessment and delivers intervention strategies that draw on further research on one or more of the family therapy models studied as part of this course.  One of the learning goals of this assignment is to show your familiarity with one or more specific models and your burgeoning skills in applying appropriate family therapy models to a family, albeit hypothetically. In this analysis, provide APA in-text citations and References and use/adhere to the following outline.
