Hernandez Family Assessment Brenda Bruck Walden University Dr. White NURS 6650: Psychotherapy with Groups and Families Hernandez Family Assessment Family therapy is meant to bring all the me... mbers of the family closer together. When there is conflict in the family, some members can isolate themselves from the family group. The isolation prevents the conflict from being addressed. A PMHNP’s job is to help the family see how the conflict is affecting the individual family member, and how the conflict is affecting the family as a unit (Wheeler, 2014). When working with a family it is important for the PMHNP to be respectful of the family’s culture. The PMNHM needs to understand the cultural beliefs when interacting with the family and, developing a treatment plan for a family (Nichols, 2014). The assignment will discuss the Hernandez family. A comprehensive assessment of the Hernandez family will be completed from the information provided in The Hernandez Family: Sessions 1-6 videos (Laureate Education (Producer), 2013).
