Assignment: Scholar Practitioner Project: Unhealthy Family Roles in Addiction Recovery

One of the most common ways that families attempt to maintain balance is by ignoring the addiction problem. Families attempt to keep a false sense of normalcy by following three rules: no talking, no feeling, and no trusting. Members learn to shield themselves from hurt by learning not to feel, and because their trust in the addicted parent or spouse has been violated one too many times, they learn not to trust.

Children growing up in these unstable families often adapt by taking on unhealthy roles. These roles each have distinct traits and are taken on for one reason only—to survive the dysfunctional family dynamics. These roles do nothing to help the child, the addicted parent, or other family members. If the situation does not change, these children may carry these roles into their adult lives and perpetuate similar addiction-related problems in their own families.

For this Assignment, you examine unhealthy family roles. You explore how these roles might impact addiction recovery.

Assignment:

In a 2- to 3-page APA-formatted paper, address the following:

  • Describe any unhealthy family roles exhibited by Marge’s husband in the media.
  • Explain what roles her children have assumed when dealing with Marge’s addiction.
  • Select one of these unhealthy family roles.
  • Explain how this role could impact Marge and her family.
  • As an addictions professional, explain how you might address this unhealthy family role. Provide two resources that would be useful.

Assignment: Adult Attachment

Take a moment to reflect on your friendships. Think about who you consider to be your oldest friend and who might be your closest. Are they the same person? Why or why not?

While some individuals maintain the same friendships throughout their lifespans, others adapt their circles of friends as their interests, careers, and values change. As you reflect on your past and current friendships, how might your friendships and attachments to others compare?

In this Assignment, you will take Fraley’s Adult Attachment Survey ( http://www.web-research-design.net/cgi-bin/crq/crq.pl ) to determine your personal attachment pattern. You will then consider how issues related to attachment have impacted your peer and romantic relationships, career choices, and current identity.

Complete a 2- to 3-page paper in which you do the following:

  • Briefly summarize your personal patterns of attachment
  • Identify your overall score and the corresponding attachment category
  • Explain whether you think your results are accurate and why
  • Explain how your attachment (either perceived or as identified in the Adult Attachment Survey) has shaped your development as an adult
  • Justify your response with specific references to this week’s Learning Resources and the current literature
