DISCUSSION ESSAY

Consider the following example: sixteen-year-old Tommy recently began refusing to go outside his house. Discuss how each branch of the strategic and systemic therapies (e.g., an MRI therapist, a Haley-style strategic therapist, a Madanes-style strategic therapist, and a Milan-style systemic therapist) would explain Tommy’s problem, how the problem developed, and which interventions might be used to treat Tommy and his family.
