COU 605 Final Project I Guidelines and Rubric

Overview
Final Project I is the creation of a family case conceptualization. As a counselor, you will work with a variety of populations including families, couples, and
children. In order to effectively counsel families, couples, and children, a strong theoretical knowledge of family systems must be present. Each systems theory
views clients, their issues, and goals through a unique lens. To build a firm foundational knowledge in family systems, you will need to choose a theory that
aligns with your personality, views, and values and that also works with the clients. When choosing a systems theory and working with clients, it is essential to
assess and address all legal, ethical, and multicultural considerations that might impact the clients and you. By working with any legal, ethical, and multicultural
considerations, you will build a strong, mutually constructed relationship with the clients and ensure that you and the clients are both protected from harm.

In this project, you will be tasked with applying a systems theory of your choice to a complex family counseling situation via Bongo as you watch and interact
with the family in the video Of Rocks and Flowers: Dealing With the Abuse of Children. The chosen theory will be your guide as you describe how you would
apply it and intervene with the family to help them reach their goals. As you assess the dynamics of the family system, you will address the legal, ethical, and
multicultural considerations that are pertinent and could potentially impact the family and you.

You will practice elements of the final project at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. The final product
will be submitted in Week Eight.

In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:

 Apply appropriate systems theories in a professional counseling setting to inform case conceptualization

 Justify professional decision-making as it relates to ethical and legal considerations in counseling a family

 Assess complex situations for how they affect the family system and individual interactions within a professional counseling setting

Prompt
Your family case conceptualization will be a Bongo interaction between you and a family unit that you are working with. You are responsible for presenting the
systems theory that you have integrated into your personal approach to counseling to your clients and describing to them how the theory will influence your
work with them.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

I. Theory

A. Describe the systems theory that informs your own counseling philosophy and practice.
B. Explain to your clients why this theory is appropriate to use in their specific circumstance.
