Description

Family Based Case Studies provides family practice students and teachers a problem based learning approach and mindful self reflection creating a rich and exciting experience that is unique and highly effective.

The key to learning is to be able to transfer knowledge to real situations outside of the classroom. This family case study book goes beyond the call of duty when students use critical thinking skills and experience themselves as therapists from the onset of treatment until termination while processing clinical theory, therapy techniques, self observation and family dynamics. The step-by-step format offers an atmosphere of active engagement where ideas, creativity, knowledge and skill are explored and shared in small groups as well as large classroom discussions offering many opportunities for sharing knowledge and critical thinking. Teaching becomes more life like when there is active engagement between teacher and student. Teachers expand upon knowledge that students bring to the table giving ample opportunity for both teachers and students to exchange ideas.

Features

Each family case walks the student through key aspects of the case helping letting study a real life experience while processing ideas and clinical skills.
“Mindful Self Reflection Corner” sections in each chapter let students deal with countertransference through mindful self reflection, enhancing objectivity and effective treatment, and encouraging students to be “present” for the family.
“Exploratory and Research Corner” sections in each chapter provide additional resources and research opportunities that enhance treatment effectiveness, giving students extended knowledge about the family and additional tools for assessment and treatment.
“Window into the Past and Celebrating Family Culture” sections in each chapter offer past and current history of family members as well as key cultural points to consider, fine tuning students' cultural diversity sensitivity.
The problem based learning approach used throughout the book lets students work in small groups, offering more opportunities for critical thinking and active classroom participation.

A Family Casebook: Problem-Based Learning and Mindful Self-Reflection

Maria Napoli

Arizona State University

Overview:

A Family Casebook uses a problem-based learning approach that prompts readers to practice mindful self-reflection. It creates a rich reading experience that is both unique and highly effective for both family practice students and teachers.

Napoli believes that “the key to learning is to be able to transfer knowledge to real situations outside of the classroom.” This family case study book encourages students to use critical thinking skills and experience themselves as therapists from the onset of treatment until termination.

· The text’s problem-based learning approach helps students to easily process clinical theory, therapy techniques, self-observation, and family dynamics.

· The text’s step-by-step format provides an atmosphere of active engagement where ideas, creativity, knowledge, and skills are explored and shared in small groups as well as large classroom discussions.

What Reviewers Are Saying:

“I think the author's approach is much needed and will offer unique coverage. The approach, i.e., problem-based learning with good clinical and self-reflection questions, is consistent with my views of effective teaching/learning. The focus on therapist's

self-reflection with probing questions is good, since students are often overwhelmed with where/how to begin with families.”

--Professor Elsa Maschmeyer Iverson, Indiana University
