Define and Apply Structural Family Therapy Concepts
After reviewing the resources for this week and watching the video, Unfolding the Laundry, you will explore how the major concepts of the structural model could be applied to the family in the video. You will apply concepts of structural to a video. Here are the steps in completing the paper for your assignment for Week 3:
1. First, review the Minuchin therapy session in Unfolding the Laundry. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeDGOPR7qfTtquBz1z_Obfx7CfBA-JhT3
a. Session Intro: This live therapy session, recorded in 1984 by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and digitally remastered in 2007, features Salvador Minuchin conducting a live, unedited therapy session with a family. The featured family is a large, blended, recently married couple with dual careers and five combined children. The identified patient is the youngest son (age 11), who is acting out. After de-emphasizing attention on the identified patient and relabeling much of the sibling behavior, attention is focused on the couple. Through his use of simplicity and humor to lure the family into desiring the necessary change and in following the familys lead in defining the problem, Minuchin illustrates his expert ability at not being an expert (Unfolding the Laundry, 1984).
Be sure to include the following in your paper:
Offer a brief (a paragraph or two) summary of the structural model.
Present your understanding of how systemic a structural model is
Discuss the family dynamics that you see portrayed in the video, including culture or diversity factors that you observe in the family.
Describe Minuchins role with this family?
Illustrate each of the following concepts using examples from the video. You should briefly summarize some interactions between Minuchin and the clients so that its clear their interaction is showing one of the structural concepts. (Note: A clear way to guide the reader through your description of the concepts is to define and cite the concept, share your example, and describe the example.)
Boundaries
Hierarchies
Subsystems
Coalitions
Strengths
Stages of development
Include a brief summary of what you think Minuchins overall goal was with this family and how he achieved this goal.
Remember to avoid the tendency to provide a synopsis of the video and focus on providing a Structural Family Therapy assessment and a summary of the family dynamics portrayed in the video.
Length: 5-7 pages, not including title and references
References: Include a minimum of 5 scholarly resources.

Film and media Criticism
To do this task, you only need to read the files and watch the film. The Matrix(1999).
You cant use another source of information. You dont need to do References or Work Cited.
As for content, the Journal should respond directly to the film, video, and related readings. However, these are no reviews. I’m not interested in simple “I like/don’t like,” good/bad judgments.
Avoid superlatives like “amazing,” “incredible,” “awesome,” etc. Plot summaries are unnecessary and redundant. Be specific about which scenes relate to your analysis. That shows me how closely you watched the content.
Who is to blame for the downfall of Macbeth?
Write a 150-word introduction and 2 body paragraphs with 2 textual evidence and techniques for each, which equals 4 quotes and techniques, and finally a conclusion with 150 words.
thank you so much.
Lay offs or wage cuts? REPLY
The decision an employer has to make between cutting wages or cutting workers can be very difficult. However, during difficult economic times this can be something a manager has to work through. The decision should be based on what is best for the employees as a whole, and what keeps the business viable so that it can continue to provide jobs. Philippians 2: 3-4 teaches that we should selflessly look out for our fellow man (NASB). In following with this scriptures message, the employer should not look for the single right answer, but rather should assess the full situation in context of their unique environment and community. In this way, the employer can best get a realistic understanding of what will be the least detrimental changes to implement; thus find a solution that is supportive not destructive. If the business is being operated in a community that currently has a low unemployment rate, then perhaps lay offs will be the best option. However, if unemployment is high and the wage decrease is moderate, it may be a better option for employees to accept lower wages than unemployment. An article in the Harvard Business Review journal describes the detrimental effects of workforce layoffs, citing a 20% decrease in job performance in remaining employees that results in either no economic gains for the company or net-negative economic losses (Gupta, 2018). Regardless of the chosen approach to workforce change from the employer, employees should feel supported. In small businesses, the employer can speak directly with staff to hear their thoughts on which is the best of the two bad options. In a large corporation, employers need to be decisive and fair. One approach to gathering employee opinions is through company surveys. A survey of employee preference, and perhaps innovative ideas, would provide the employer with invaluable information upon which to make an optimal, well informed decision (Baye & Prince, 2017). Another clandestine possibility for the company could be to be creative, such as by offering early retirement to employees or by identifying other ways by which to reduce production cost or increase profitability.
