2)Review Case Study: Midori (linked in Resources).
Note: You will use this same case study at different times during this course; each time you will approach it from a different theoretical perspective.
For this discussion, review the case study and consider Midori’s situation from a Bowenian perspective. Then, respond to the following:
>Who would the clinician want to attend in majority of the sessions from a Bowenian perspective? Why?
>What is the role of the therapist from this perspective?
>What would the assessment process look like from this perspective?
>Who or what would be the target of intervention, and what would be examples of specific interventions that would be used from this perspective?
>Is this a strength-based model or a deficit-based model of therapy? Explain.
>What is the theory of change from this perspective?
