After reading the textbook’s treatment of Cinderella’s case in the inset boxes in Chapter 7.
For this discussion you will be a Bowenian therapist for Cinderella and the Prince. Discuss the types of questions that you will ask the couple. How does socio-economic status play a role in this relationship? Identify and address at least two cultural differences between Cinderella and the Prince.
2.2. Reflections of Self-Identity
Think of your own personal narrative. Discuss characteristics of your self-identified culture (ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, gender, and other demographic information) that you feel comfortable sharing.
Which facets of your personal description impact your sense of self, either positively or negatively? How does your family’s cultural story influence how you interact with others? What learned behaviors or responses do you exhibit in your interactions? How do you envision that these differences in cultural self-identity between you and your clients impact the therapeutic relationship?
