In this week's preparation for your Week 9 assignment, you were asked to choose a case study and clinical theory. Integrate your views of your own therapeutic role in your responses to the following. Are you an educator, coach, consultant, or something else?

• Search professional family therapy journals such as Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, Family Process, Contemporary Family Therapy, and Journal of Systemic Therapies for an article that applies a systemic family therapy model to a case with a sexuality- or gender-related presenting problem. Do not use one of the articles assigned as a reading for any of the course weeks.
• Summarize the case study. Be sure to include your reflections about the model application. Which aspects of the model application resonated with you? Which aspects did not resonate with you? What other model do you think could have been used? Why?
• How do you view clients? Are they pathological and flawed, or competent, strong, and resourceful?
• How do you view the role of assessment and intervention? What is the target of intervention? How do you know when therapy is over?

Please be sure to cite the literature to support your discussion of your chosen theory.
