Family Counseling

Family Counseling

Family Counseling

Family counseling can help families in difficult circumstances return to a healthy state. Working with families requires different intervention strategies than working with individuals. When working with families, social workers focus on the family structure, communication, and dynamics between family members. Social workers select intervention strategies that suit the family structure and circumstances. There are many strategies used in family counseling such as I messages, education, and working with a subset of family members. There are strengths and limitations to any intervention strategy that a social worker might use to counsel a family. Therefore, it is critical to be knowledgeable of various family intervention strategies. When selecting an intervention strategy, social workers should assess the needs and circumstances of the family to find the best intervention strategy.

For this Discussion, review the two case studies that present families in difficult circumstances found in this week’s Learning Resources. Select one case study and use the Learning Resources to review intervention strategies that a social worker might use to work with the family. Consider the strengths and limitations of the intervention strategy you selected.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a brief description of the case study you selected. Then, describe one intervention strategy outlined in the Learning Resources and explain how you might use that particular strategy to address the family circumstances. Finally, explain one strength and one limitation of using the strategy you selected from the Learning Resources to work with the family. Given the plethora of family intervention strategies, share an insight about how a social worker might select an appropriate intervention for a family client.

the ideas and frameworks of Geert Hofstede

Order Description
Objectives
The aim of this assignment is to suggest the role played by management scholars in developing new ideas useful to individuals interested in cross cultural management. Specifically this assignment addresses the ideas and frameworks of Geert Hofstede.
Instructor Comments
Hofstede’s dimensions play fascinating roles in helping us understand different societies. Take for instance countries or cultures where both scores associated with Uncertainty Avoidance and Power Distance are high. In these instances, the result is the creation of “societies that are highly rule-oriented with laws, rules, regulations, and controls in order to reduce the amount of uncertainty, while inequalities of power and wealth have been allowed to grow within the society. These cultures are more likely to follow a caste system that does not allow significant upward mobility of its citizens.
Further, “when these two dimensions are combined, it creates a situation where leaders have virtually ultimate power and authority, and the rules, laws and regulations developed by those in power, reinforce their own leadership and control. It is not unusual for new leadership to arise from armed insurrection – the ultimate power, rather than from diplomatic or democratic change. “Understanding the meanings associated with these dimensions helps to explain why Pakistan is why it is. It also helps to explain why Canada is not similar.
Assignment
This assignment seeks to help you understand the answer to a broader concern and that is, “How are some national cultures similar?” You should base your responses to the following questions on your analysis of the ideas of Geert Hofstede.
In order to complete this assignment, you will need to access the country profiles based on Hofstede’s cultural dimensions using the following website: http://www.geert-hofstede.com
Please complete the following exercises.
Please identify five countries that are similar in terms of Power Distance. Please summarize in your own words why they are similar.
Please identify five countries that are similar in terms of Individualism. Please summarize in your own words why they are similar.

Please identify five countries that are similar in terms of Uncertainty Avoidance. Please summarize in your own words why they are similar.
Please identify five countries that are similar in terms of Temporal Orientation. Please summarize in your own words why they are similar.
Hint: The country profiles described in terms of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions http://www.geert-hofstede.com may be of great value when completing this assignment.
Please cite your sources in the text and please reference them at the end of your assignment. Please end your write-up with one paragraph that summarizes what you think is the importance of this assignment.
