Walden University NRNP6645 Wk2 Assign 6645 Family Assessment and Psychotherapeutic Approaches. 1 Family Assessment and Psychotherapeutic Approaches College of Nursing-PMHNP, Walden University NRNP 6645: Psychotherapy with Multiple Modalities June 13, 2021 2 Abstract As providers, it is vital to be open-minded, if you are not aware or do not understand a person’s culture, show your patients respect. Be engaged, respectful, and ask questions. Learn from your patients, this helps develop a rapport. As providers we are obligated to provide optimal care, if we feel a patient's needs are out of our scope, the client should be referred to a provider that can give them the help they need and deserve (Nichols & Davis, 2020). The purpose of this paper is to provide documentation and a psychiatric comprehensive assessment of a patient and family during a family therapy interview that highlights differences in a multicultural family, respecting cultural norms and differences, and develop an individualized treatment plan. Keywords: Family therapy 3 Family Assessment and Psychotherapeutic Approaches Subjective: CC (chief complaint): “I like to learn to live on my own and not depend on the kids.” HPI: A 40-year-old female (Patti) and her five children (Sheela age 24, Sharleen aged 23 and present today, Shireen age 21 recently reunited with family, Armin Jr. age 18, and Sam age 15), of Iranian descent, has been in individual and family therapy for the last 18 months. Patti came to the clinic related to chaos in the home after her daughter was finally reunited with the family after ten years. The family initially had rejoiced and celebrated, and after a few weeks, Shireen began to tell her mother and siblings the emotional, physical, and sexual abuse at the hands of her father. She blamed and felt abandoned by her mother. Patti needed necessary surgery to both her feet after an injury, that has now left her disabled and with chronic pain. The additional burden of surgery and disability has increased tension and stress in the home. Patti lives with her two sons; her daughters live on their own. Shireen recently moved out, marrying someone the family does not know, with little contact. Mother speaks and sees Sheela and Sharleen daily. Patti has increasingly felt alone, depressed, hopeless, and helpless wanting her daughters to stay and help her at her home. A psychiatric provider has been referred for a medication evaluation. Past Psychiatric History: General Statement: Patti and her family began therapy 18 months ago after daughter Shireen reunited with the family after 12 years of separation. Shireen shared significant abuse she experienced, learning the trauma she went through brought on many emotions of the family including blame, guilt, shame increasing stress on the family.
