Why is it important for a good social worker to understand the ways in which different families interact amongst themselves? To connect this question to the chapter. Ask: Does this chapter provide the ultimate guide to understanding different types of families? Why or why not? 2. What do the following words mean: “interpret the world for the child and interpret the child for the world”? Consider how this statement reflects the relationship between parents and children. Give examples of how this interpretative process works. Consider what this means in situations that do not involve cognitive or physical challenges. 3. In what ways do families communicate? Consider how communication can reinforce, or challenge, family roles and rules. 4. What are the different ways in which families can be defined? Consider the ways in which family definitions overlap. Do you think that these ways of defining families are mutually exclusive from one another? If these definitions are not mutually exclusive, how do you think that they are related to one another? 5. Why is it important for effective social workers to both listen and look when working with families from different cultural backgrounds? Consider what it means to look. How do you think that the information presented in this chapter can help you listen to and look at individuals more effectively?
