Stragetic: This theory of therapy is more theory than technique.
Strategic: This theory has its roots in two sources:
John Milton
Cybernetics - Bateson
Milton Erickson
Minuchin
Strategic: Paradoxical interventions can be described by which of the following?
It confuses clients to the point that they give up.
It is a win-win situation.
It can help create structure and control around the problem (you can only fight at 5:00, for 15 minutes)
If the clients rebel against the homework, they are stopping the problem behavior altogether.
Strategic: A double beauty drama negotiate( double, beauty, drama, negotiate )-bind is a negative situation in which there is no way to win negotiate escape( win, negotiate, escape ).
Strategic: When families don't want to change, the paradox is a good tool to use.
Strategic: Which of the following are two ways to utilize paradox?
Encourage and praise the clients for how far they've come.
Forbid change.
Tell them to change in a way that's against their goals.
Strategic: How are Strategic Therapy and Cybernetics related?
The focus is on the current family's patterns that are maintaining the problem (homeostasis).
The focus is on who in the family has the power.
The focus is on the families of origin and how that shapes current dynamics.
Strategic: How are Strategic Therapy and SFBT related?
Ledgers and debts.
The belief that change can be rapid, and doesn't require insight into causes.
The idea that the clients hold the keys to their problems.
Strategic: Model 1/3 - MRI Interactional Family Therapy The focus is on how faulty cycles of interaction perpetuate the problem (feedback loops).
Strategic: Model 1/3 - MRI Interactional Family Therapy 1st Order Change = ❌ only. 2nd Order Change = address the motivation (❌ & family ❌)
Strategic: Model 1/3 - MRI Interactional Family Therapy Process: Intro - Define the ❌ - What are the ❌? - Set ❌ - Explore Previous ❌ - ❌ Interventions - Therapy ❌
Strategic: Model 1/3 - MRI Interactional Family Therapy Reframing - look at the problem in a way. Is it somehow useful/positive?
Strategic: Model 1/3 - MRI Interactional Family Therapy Which of the following are examples of paradoxical interventions?
symptom prescription
drug prescriptions
restraining techniques
therapist apathy
mockery
positioning
Strategic: Model 1/3 - MRI Interactional Family Therapy Which of these paradoxical interventions asks the client to continue doing the problem, but for a certain amount of time ONLY, or only in a particular PLACE?
Strategic: Model 1/3 - MRI Interactional Family Therapy Which of these paradoxical interventions tells the client - "Maybe you shouldn't change..."
Strategic: Model 1/3 - MRI Interactional Family Therapy Which of these paradoxical interventions amplifies the family's position in order to get them to disagree with that perspective?
Strategic: Model 2/3 - MRI Brief Family Therapy had its roots in Milton Erickson's work.
Strategic: Model 2/3 - MRI Brief Family Therapy Which of the following are components of this model?
Modify a problem by redefining it.
Focus heavily on insight.
Design a creative strategy based on the client's starting point.
Strategic: Model 2/3 - MRI Brief Family Therapy Seven of the following are true about this model:
It is system- (not insight) oriented.
It evaluates the power that each individual holds.
Problems are viewed as faulty interactions between people.
Crises are caused the ordinary life being mishandled, which leads to symptoms and then to the crisis.
The therapist should help the client find the keys to the locks that are their problems.
Transitions in the family life cycle lead to vulnerability (problems are more likely to develop).
Positive feedback loops cause the problems to continue.
Families should be given lots of choice in order to have voice in their decisions.
Chronic symptoms come from continued mishandling of the problems (it is not a system defect).
Solutions require new responses (break the feedback loop).
Strategic: Model 2/3 - MRI Brief Family Therapy Two of the following are components of this model:
Paradoxical, seemingly illogical interventions are often successful in changing family behavior.
Small, clearly stated goals lead to CHANGE.
It takes big changes in order to change the system.
Strategic: Model 2/3 - MRI Brief Family Therapy STAGES: ❌ - clear statement of the ❌ - find out ❌ they've tried to solve the problem - set ❌ - behavioral interventions (❌ interventions) - terminate @ ❌ sessions
Strategic: Model 3/3 - ______________________
Hailey's Comet
Madame Bruche
Haley-Madanes
Maily - Hanes
Strategic: Model 3/3 - Haley-Madanes Symptoms Children Heirarchies Crimes( Symptoms, Children, Heirarchies, Crimes ) come from faulty interactions within the family, and serve to maintain grudges homeostasis deficiences( grudges, homeostasis, deficiences ).
Strategic: Model 3/3 - Haley-Madanes Hierarchical arrangements are ________________.
problematic
telling
critical
Strategic: Model 3/3 - Haley-Madanes Symptoms come from an incongruous hierarchy.
Strategic: Model 3/3 - Haley-Madanes The focus is on PAST behavior.
Strategic: Model 3/3 - Haley-Madanes Goal: To alter the sequence of interactions and....
stop the problem behavior.
stop blaming the other people.
change the structure.
Strategic: Model 3/3 - Haley-Madanes The therapist and the family define a ❌ problem.
Strategic: Model 3/3 - Haley-Madanes The therapist will look for a social situation that makes the problem necessary.
Strategic: Model 3/3 - Haley-Madanes Madanes wanted all people involved with the problem to be present at the first session.
Strategic: Model 3/3 - Haley-Madanes Therapy should always be done in the same location, at the same time of day when possible.
Strategic: Model 3/3 - Haley-Madanes At the first meeting, all of the following should happen:
Welcome
Family introduces each other
What is the problem?
What do they think?
What needs to change?
Have coffee together
Therapist joins
come up with solving strategies
Genograms
Get out the sand tray

Strategic: Model 3/3 - Haley-Madanes Which paradoxical intervention strategy asks the child to perform the problem behavior?
dramatization
pretending
make-believe play
Strategic: Model 3/3 - Haley-Madanes Which paradoxical intervention strategy asks the parents to help the child as the child pretends to have symptoms?
Strategic: Model 3/3 - Haley-Madanes Which paradoxical intervention strategy asks the parents to pretend that they need help, while the child steps in to help?

John Weakland
William Fry
Strategic: Eventually, all of these people joined the Mental Research Institute (MRI).
