From the Paper
"The second phase of treatment occurs through building a trustworthy working relationship between the client and the mental health professional. This relationship is important, as the mental health professional will be recommending lifestyle changes and various psychological coping strategies to the client as the therapy progresses. This means that the client will have to trust the mental health professional in order to accept these recommendations and integrate changes into his or her personal lifestyle."

Abstract
This paper attempts to explore the effect of changing societal mores and philosophies on the traditional "nuclear family" model. The paper begins by describing the prototype of the nuclear family and then describes the circumstances and environments that may cause this model to change. The paper presents examples of family situations from literature to explain this concept.
From the Paper
"The pulse of the world constantly fluctuates. Politics, philosophies, and cultural tendencies may transform through the years, and societal beliefs often evolve with larger patterns of thought. This proves especially true in relation to the so called "nuclear family." Often touted by society as the ideal model, the nuclear family exists as an organized structure revolving around a man and a woman of similar race, ethnicity, and social background, together with their children, living in one household under the auspices of a state and church sanctioned marriage. As an ideal prototype, the nuclear family retains value in our culture; however, shifting moral and ethical values have affected its relevance to society over time."

From the Paper
"Teaching values within the educational system in this country goes back to the days of our Founding Fathers. ?Thomas Jefferson?s ?Bill for the More General Diffusion of Knowledge? argued for an educational system that would fortify citizens with moral probity to resist the schemes of the enemies of liberty? (Bennett 1995). Benjamin Franklin in his ?Proposals Relating to the Education of the Young,? ?prescribed the study of ethics in an instructional program that would seek to instill ?benignity of mind?? (Bennett 1995). Citizenship awareness is as important today as it was in the 18th Century."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at different models and forms of therapy for families that are experiencing problems. The writer notes that natural therapy is a form of psychotherapy that does not allow for medications, but that uses techniques that are aimed at assisting the individual to overcome issues through a natural approach. The writer looks at cognitive behavioral therapy in which the problem is seen to exist through the individual's thoughts and actions. The writer then discusses structural therapy and strategic family therapy. The writer maintains that the solution focused model of family therapy identifies the outcomes that the family desires and uses those outcomes as the focus of the therapy. In the narrative model the writer notes that clients are asked to take part in a narrative history of life and in collaborative therapy the patient and the therapist work as partners in the discovery of issues and the implementation of solutions to the issues.
Outline:
Natural System Model
Cognitive-Behavioral Model
Structural Model
Problem Focus Model
Strategic Model
Solution-Focused Model
Narrative Model
Collaborative Language System Model
From the Paper
"Change for the patient requires that the thoughts and actions impacting the person's life must be identified initially. This may occur through the patient speaking with the therapist and answering questions that serve to allow the therapist to determine where the issues exist. However, the patient should be the one that identifies the problem areas through discussion so that he or she is capable of understanding that change is significant.
"Techniques used in cognitive behavioral therapy are implemented once the identification of the problem has occurred. The therapist may give the patient "homework" and a new mental or physical response to a situation. That new response is used by the patient in place of the negative response and it is through practice that a new method of thought or behavior can be experienced on an ongoing basis, replacing the former thoughts and action."

The McMaster Model of Family Functioning, 2005.

Abstract
This paper evaluates the McMaster model in terms of its ability to accurately describe family functioning and its ability to distinguish functional and dysfunctional families. It also presents the McMaster model as the most comprehensive model of family health.
From the Paper
"The McMaster model has so far provided us with a comprehensive way of assessing family functioning, but it does have it's own limitations. It has been argued that the McMaster model doesn't adequately reflect family developmental stages. Epstein, Bishop, Ryan, Miller, and Keitner (1993) found that families at different development stages also differ in terms of their difficulties. Families that had adolescents were found to have more problem solving difficulties, and were also found to have more areas of difficulty in the McMaster dimensions. In light of this the McMaster model may be seen as ineffective in assessing changing patterns of difficulties within families. Although, the emphasis the McMaster model puts on observable behaviour also means that family assessments are more likely to be reliable and accurate portrait of family functioning, as the clinician does not have to make inferences about family behaviour."

From the Paper
" Ideally, the purpose of education should be to develop not only the intellectual aspect of the children, but also their moral and emotional qualities (Kohn, 1994, p. 280). Therefore, schools should not just churn out human beings with verbal and computational skills to acquire jobs in the real world (O?Malley, 1998, p. 14). They should build on the children?s innate desire to learn and explore. Thus, teachers should create learning activities that fully engage the interest of the students in order to capitalize on their natural desire to learn. However, in reality, educators are split into two camps in their beliefs about educating children: tradition versus constructivism. In the traditional system, the teacher is the only active agent in the classroom transmitting knowledge to students who are expected to absorb information passively. "

Abstract
This paper analyses the needs of the Lok family who have a family member who needs health care.

In this case the author establishes that as the family are immigrants it is necessary to understand and respect their religious and cultural background in order to be able to provide the best health education.
From the Paper
"Patient and family education is an integral part of quality care. Providing it is a responsibility shared by all care professionals who interact with a patient and with family members. Teaching patients can be the most challenging as well as the most rewarding aspect of care. Understanding the patient's religious and cultural background is an important consideration when providing health education to the Lok family. In order to determine the family's cultural status and understand its forced migration, I must be open-minded, show respect for beliefs that differ from my own, and avoid making assumptions or stereotyping. In educating the Lok family, it is essential to understand Chinese culture. China is a country of multiple faiths, with a large segment of the pop..."

Abstract
This paper studies the family members and dynamics in two American novels about marooned families. The paper compares the personalities and character traits of the matriarchs and patriarchs, as well as the children. Another similarity discussed is the scenes in which the families are forced to venture into unknown territory in order to survive. The paper also illustrates how both books reinforce the traditional values of the nuclear family. In fact, the paper concludes that the most important lesson from these books is that the family will pull together to surmount obstacles and to counteract adversity.
From the Paper
"The Robinsons reached their unlikely new home when they were shipwrecked on their way to settle in a place that was not their home. We are not told how the Borrowers came to be living under the floor, but we do find out that at one time there was a colony of Borrowers, some of whom were extended family, living in the same house. Both environments require the participation of both mother and father to survive. In both, the father leaves the home every day to obtain the things necessary for survival. In both, the mothers stay home and prepare meals, provide clothing and keep the home comfortable and clean. In both, the home - no matter how undesirably located - is a haven for the family, the place where they feel safe and where they enjoy each other's company."

Abstract
This paper examines how the family assessment model is used to help a specific family cope during a crisis. It explains that a family assessment model is effective because later nursing interventions correspond to and are based in a comprehensive family assessment. The paper looks at how in the family assessment model, the patient's needs are addressed by nursing interventions that follow directly from the assessment. The paper also notes that as this model reveals, while families experience problems and stressors, they also have coping mechanisms.
Outline:
Introduction
Developmental Stage
Family Function and Structure
Family Stress, Coping and Adaptation
Family Health Care Function
Identification of Priority Family Health Education Needs
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Communication patterns for the family are open and effective. This family forms a cohesive group and has developed strong links beyond the immediate nuclear family, and demonstrates deep respect towards the elderly. Sylvia and Daniel are physically affectionate and warm towards their parents. Both children also exhibit respect and obedience toward the parents. The family furthermore is able to communicate effectively with the physicians and nurses who are involved in their care."

Work and Family Conflict: The Dual-Earning Family Problem, 2000.
A look at the conflict between work and family that two-income families face and the lack of support they receive from employers.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"One of the largest transformations in family life over the last decades has been the rise of the dual-earner family. The number of families which are dual-earner, married couple households has increased dramatically, having overtaken "traditional" breadwinner/homemaker families in number as early as the mid-70s, continuing into even through the late 1980s and 1990s. Despite the phenomenal growth in this segment of the population, very little has been done to meet the growing needs of dual-earner families. With the prevalence of mothers and fathers in the work force, inevitably we find that there is a conflict. Caregivers in the workforce face the difficult decision to choose between their family and their jobs, and unfortunately, most employers do not do enough to help."

Abstract
This paper uses the Friedman Family Assessment Model (short form) as the basis for an analysis of a family consisting of a mixed-race and mixed religion cohabiting couple and their three-year-old child. The paper concludes that although the family is largely functional, it also has some conflicts that need to be reviewed and addressed, particularly in terms of communication between the adults.
From the Paper
"The Friedman Family Assessment Model is consistent with the concept of family health care nursing treatment of an entire family for dysfunction within the unit. It examines the family from an environmental and cultural focus as well as from its internal structure. This model provides the opportunity for the health care provider to examine many areas of concern related to the family's dysfunction, while identifying foundations of strength upon which to build the treatment process. The Friedman Family Assessment Model The Friedman Family Assessment Model focuses on the structure and the functions of the family as well as the manner in which the family interacts with its community and the greater society (Mandleco, 2004, p. 22). Although the model itself is comprehensive and demands a great amount of detail, not all factors listed within it apply to all families."

Familial Evolution: Role Relationships in the Family Structure, 2005.

Abstract
The family, an evolving entity that exists beyond the boundaries of genetics, encompasses relationships intertwined by emotions, education, proximity and biology. The roles each member of the family holds: father, mother sister, and brother, impact the family specifically, and potentially impact society at large. This paper examines these ideas by taking a look at "Ellen Foster" by Kay Gibbons, "Child of Divorce" by Celia Rothenberg and "Confessions of an Erstwhile Child" (anonymous).
From the Paper
"The actions of the family affect society at large. Roles remain the same, but the people playing them and their methods constantly fluctuate. While increasingly common to find homes where both parents work, it remains an unfortunate necessity. Children of these homes often draw their life's instructions from daycare workers and television rather than the tutelage of their mothers and fathers. Rather, it is imperative that the pursuit of advanced education, critical thinking, and spiritual exploration be encouraged and demonstrated by the parents."
