NRNP 6635: Psychopathology and Diagnostic Reasoning

Assignment: Family Assessment
Assessment is as essential to family therapy as it is to individual therapy. Although families often present with one person identified as the “problem,” the assessment process will help you better understand family roles and determine whether the identified problem client is in fact the root of the family’s issues.

• Be sure to review the resource on psychotherapy genograms.
• Comprehensive Psychiatric Assessment Note Template and review the requirements of the documentation. There is also an exemplar provided with detailed guidance and examples.
• View the Mother and Daughter: A Cultural Tale video transcript in the Learning Resources and consider how you might assess the family in the case study.

Note: For any item you are unable to address from the video, explain how you would gather this information and why it is important for diagnosis and treatment planning. Note: If there is anything that the video did not cover, please describe how you would collect the information and why it is necessary for diagnosis and treatment planning.
