Abstract/Summary:
With the acceleration of social reform and development,people’s concepts of marriage and family are changing simultaneously,and the traditional family structure in China is also changing constantly.All along,family culture occupies an important position in the cultural inheritance of our country.Family is regarded as the basic unit of society and one of the most basic social Settings.The family carries a lot of social and family functions.Under the social background of the universal two-child policy,many couples choose to have a second child,and the number of families with a second child is increasing.For a two-child family,the arrival of a new member changes the family structure and roles of family members.The only child becomes the eldest son of the family,and the parents also assume more responsibility for the care of the family.Therefore,due to the complexity of family structure and relationship,this new family will face relatively more family conflicts,and their parent-child relationship is also faced with new challenges.There is no doubt that a benign parent-child relationship is of great benefit to the development and growth of children.However,some studies have shown that parents of two-child families find it difficult to maintain a balance between the eldest child and the second child,and their life focuses more on the younger child.The difference of parents’ treatment is easy to cause negative emotions,extreme behavior,bad cognition and other problems of older children.To a large extent,these problems come from the poor parent-child relationship in second-child families.How to adjust the bad parent-child relationship in the second child family has become an urgent problem to be solved.This study selected M,a teenager from F community in Nanjing City,and her family members as the research objects,and tried to use Satya family therapy mode to intervene in the W family,ease parent-child conflicts,adjust the bad parent-child relationship,and establish a new communication mode.In this study,scale method,semi-structured interview method and observation method were used to diagnose the parent-child relationship of the W family and collect basic family information in order to form an objective and complete cognition of the two-child family.The study found that there are many problems in the parent-child relationship of W family.In the growth process of M,parents’ roles were absent,family functions were weakened,and M’s basic life needs and spiritual comfort could not be guaranteed.The birth of the younger brother caused the parent-child relationship to fall into a vicious circle.The shift of family focus and the differential treatment of parents caused M to have irrational beliefs in her heart and cognitive bias towards the role of her younger brother.The improper way of parent-child communication and parenting makes parent-child estrangement increase.M’s self-awareness was enhanced,and she disliked parental education methods,and the trust between parents and children was in jeopardy.These problems are not personal,but are closely related to the changes in the W family system.Due to the change of family structure,parents neglected the psychological counseling of M;The society is changing with each passing day,and the gap between generations is widening.Parenting style or authority or laissez-faire,communication style or blame or please.To this,this study adopts the satya family therapy model,according to the theory of family system and family communication theory as the theoretical basis,thorough W family,use the techniques,such as family sculpture,restore to help family members to overthrow the old pattern,rebuild new family connection,integrated family therapy experience,makes every effort to make the family get rid of the parent-child relationship,make positive,healthy the parent-child relationship to replace the old,sick of the parent-child relationship,make family.The study shows that the Satya family therapy mode has its unique advantages and appropriateness in the adjustment of the bad parent-child relationship in the second child family,and its humanized treatment concept and treatment technology coincidences with the Chinese culture.Focusing on family members’ self-esteem and respecting their inner feelings affirms the value of individuals and gives family members the power to change.The establishment of the outward and inward communication posture enables the individual to achieve a good state of unity of body and mind.At the same time,social work is not only a treatment method but also a prevention method.Social workers "teach people how to fish".While helping families solve their immediate problems,they also teach them how to change their plight and enhance their ability to resist risks.In addition,social workers will face many ethical dilemmas in the process of intervening in the w family,such as the contradiction between social workers’ respect for the self-determination of the case owner and their own paternalism,the contradiction between the code of ethics carried by social workers and the social background of "human feelings" in China,etc,Take the interests of service objects as the starting point and foothold of intervention activities,effectively improve their professional skills,and be able to do well in the role transformation.
