Couple & Family Therapy

Week 1 Discussion #1 Couple & Family Therapy Planning Assignments  

For the “Family, Marriage and Couples Therapy Movie/TV Experience” project, I choose to focus on Victor Newman and Nikki Newman from The Young and The Restless.  The assessment is a couples or family assessment. Stay focused on what couple or family you will use and what their presenting problem is to bring them into counseling.

Be specific and clear and use references with everything you do (the information is coming from someplace).    ��

1) Pick 1 movie or “binge” watch a TV show (at least 6 -8 episodes) related to Couples and Family & list the movie with a reference or list shows with title if available.    Please read attachment instructions.

Week 1 Discussion #2 Couple & Family Therapy Planning Assignments

For the “Family, Marriage and Couples Therapy Movie/TV Experience” project, I choose to focus on Victor Newman and Nikki Newman from The Young and The Restless.

This couple completely captivates and challenges me at the same time. Victor Newman is a completely controlling individual with a disturbing background and Nikki Newman is a prostitute who blossoms into a strong-willed and minded individual. When Victor first met Nikki, he fell in love with a hooker and wanted to own her. What drives me into this couple now is they think alike, and they learn from each other. Over the years they begin to develop as a couple with insecurities, marriage with problems, and fears. I am excited to challenge myself with this couple and relate some of their qualities to my past relationship’s patterns. My goal is to take this project slowly and carefully in order to detail it as I possibly can. I watch this soap opera at the end of my day, and I plan on working the two topics each week to gamer as much as possible.
