Family Therapy: Family Struggles with Overcoming Drug Addiction

Please identify a family from a TV show or a movie in which addiction was present. This can be addiction from a substance (alcohol or drugs) or process addiction (like sex, eating disorders, etc). After you locate this family, please will reflect on the treatment that would be beneficial for the family. **You are free to choose any TV show you want. I know in the show "Shameless" the dad has an alcohol addiction but if there is another show you know of or would like to use, that is definitely ok.

**Course content attached separately. **No cover sheet needed.

Please answer the following questions in your reflection:
1) Describe the family and the identified patient with the addiction.
2) Reflect on why this family might need addiction treatment that includes the family.
3) Based on the information of systems theory what theories or techniques would be helpful with this individual and family and why?
