Couple and family helping professionals have varying degrees of work. What they all have in common is
that their clients represent the variety of human experience. Even those helping professionals with a
specific clinical focus see variety in the ways in which specific issues manifest in different relationships.
Part of the goal of your program is to expose you to varying scenarios so that when you are faced with
differing client situations, you will have the evidence-based research knowledge, flexibility, analytical skills,
and theory-integration practice to know the best course of action to take with a particular couple or family.
For this Assignment, select and view one movie from the list provided in this week's resources below.
Begin to conceptualize the couple's or family’s problem through your theoretical orientation, and identify
