Family Assessments Comparison

To complete the assignment, you will need to use the Family Assessment Device (FAD), the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales (FACES), and the Self-Report Family Inventory (SFI). You will complete each of the three measures with respect to your own family of origin. You may use your nuclear family (e.g., partner, children) or your family of origin (you and your parents). If using your family of origin, respond to each item as if you were at the age when you were still living with your family of origin. Alternatively, when possible, you might consider asking one of your siblings to complete at least one of the measures.


Once you have completed each of the assessments use the scoring instructions to score the responses. Then, for each measure, write a Clinical Assessment Report (CAR) using the template in the “Resources” section of the course page. Copy and paste the CARs into one document. Write a brief 1 to 2-page synopsis of your experience of using each of the measures and compare and contrast the usefulness of each with the others. In addition briefly (1 to 2 pages) address the following questions.



  1. The Circumplex, Beavers, and McMaster models all include specific principles that the authors of each suggest are indicative of what is normal in marriage and family life. What are your responses to these chapters and articles and the ideas that are presented about what is "normal"?

  2. Finally, what are the pros and cons of defining "normal" at all?


Submit this document (do not submit the actual results (item by item) of the measures or the actual assessments).


Your final document should be 5 to 10 pages in length:



  1. CAR's for FACES -1 to 2 pages.

  2. CAR's for SFI -1 to 2 pages.

  3. CAR's for FAD -1 to 2 pages.

  4. Synopsis of using the instruments and compare and contrast instruments -1 to 2 pages.

  5. Addressing the 2 activity-specific questions above -1 to 2 pages.

    Results:
    If the score is above 70 then it in the pink zone as confirmed from the table this shows a borderline disorder in the male child.
    Rationale for Assessment:
    Mrs. A. was asked to complete the Self-Report Family Inventory Scale as an exercise for analyzing the amount and intensity of argument after hearing the news that her son was prone to get engaged in bisexual behavior with pervert thinking. There are incidences of constant furious arguments between her and her son. She also has one daughter but she is alright and does not show signs of bisexual behavior.
    
Background Information:
    Mrs. A. is an old white female. She used to work in a marketing firm before retirement. She has one son who works in a manufacturing company. She came to know that her son is a bisexual with abnormal thinking and tends to develop affection and emotions towards other males rather than females.
    Observations:
    Mrs. A was asked a lot of questions as present in the Self-Report Inventory Scale. She was reluctant to answer a few questions and was asked about providing some kind of family behavioral therapy for her son. This is necessary for her son to overcome bad and pervert thinking present in his brain. Therapy is aimed at reducing the bisexual behavior in her son.
    Discussion of Results:
    Individual items scores in different range values from 0-5. Mrs. A’s son’s scores ranged from 0-5, with most of the scores in the range of 1-3. Her son scored 5 only for two questions namely 1) Even when we feel close; our family is embarrassed to admit it. 2) We worry about hurting each other’s feelings. 3) Family members put each other down.
    Clinical Implications and Recommendations:
    Mrs. A’s son's score on the Self-Report Family Inventory Scale was near the borderline personality disorder. She is not suffering from any kind of mental or physical trauma after hearing the news that her son has bisexual interests. She should opt for proper counseling of her son by a psychologist. She should also opt for behavioral therapy sessions for her son.

    Results:
    Based on the FACES-III results the family is enmeshed and chaotic and under ideal conditions the family should be connected and flexible.
    Rationale for Assessment:
    A family was asked to complete the FACES-III analysis for interpreting the cohesiveness, flexibility, and communication pattern between the different members present in the family. There are situations when the family did not agree with the views of their children leading to lesser flexibility in their life but still, the elements of cohesiveness and communication were present among the family members.
    Background Information:
    In the present case study, a family statistical survey was conducted to analyze the different parameters like cohesiveness, flexibility, and communication between the different family members. There are times when the family members are less flexible in views but cohesiveness tends to be maintained with a little bit of communication. The parameters and points mentioned in the questionnaire were used for preparing the statistical analysis reports. The family studied in this statistical survey consists of a father, mother, son, and daughter. Father is a worker in a cooperative office whereas mother works as a clerk in a management business company. This family has an elder son and a younger daughter. The problem is that the children do not feel like going to school and tend to get restless and...
