Assignment: Health and Medical

Complete case study, Sanchez Family. Case studies can be found on the Routledge book site. Review the case, and answer the following questions:

A. What would you say are the three most crucial challenges facing the family? Explain why you see these as the most pressing concerns.

B. Reflect on how your own background-including your various identities, but also your growing professional identity as a social worker-may affect your choices. For example, has your culture influenced the way you think about certain problems, and thus the importance you place on them? How might different members of the Sanchez family view their situations differently, from their own perspectives?

C. Which theory might help you prepare for your work with the Sanchez family? What other knowledge would be helpful to you in working with the Sanchez family, and how could you seek out and incorporate that information? Think about what you might need to know about immigration policy, effectiveness of substance abuse treatments, and cultural values of Latinx immigrants and their children.

D. Reflecting on your social work values, what potential value conflicts do you anticipate, working with different members of the Sanchez family? For example, where might a social worker's values diverge from Celia's? From Hector's?

E. What are the subsystems in this family?

F. What are the boundaries like between subsystems and for the family as a whole?

G. How does the family maintain homeostasis?

H. What roles does each family member take? How are these roles influenced by the family's particular cultural identity?

I. What inputs and feedback (positive and negative) are the family receiving? What are the family's outputs?

J. Is the family moving toward differentiation, entropy, negative entropy? Why or why not?

K. Given your assessment, are there areas that might be of concern with regard to the well-being and functioning of this family? At what points might you want to intervene?

L. What are the strengths and limitations to using systems theory to assess and intervene with this family? How might you compensate for the limitations of the systems theory by eclectically applying another perspective?
