Read “Topic 6: Vargas Family Case Study.” Develop three experiential interventions that you would use with the Vargas family.
It’s time to get creative! You have noticed that the Vargas family struggles with emotional expression, particularly with
congruent emotional expression (i.e., words, actions, and body language being congruent). Using the Experiential
Interventions Template, create three unique experiential interventions that you would use with the family and describe how
they would be helpful to the family. It may be helpful to refer to the library articles for ideas and inspiration, but do not
copy existing interventions. Be sure to fully address each section in the template for each of the three interventions in
your paper:
Title of your Intervention
General Goals
Materials Needed
Advance Preparation Needed
Description of the Intervention with the Vargas family
Discussion of the Benefits of the Intervention to the Vargas Family

that you have identified and develop scaffolding questions to ask the client in your next session, one in their landscape of
action and one in their landscape of identity.
Part 2: Put yourself in the client’s shoes and, as the client, write a reauthoring version of their story that is 750 words
in length. It should incorporate the exceptions and responses to the scaffolding questions from Part 1. Use narrative
language when applying this reauthoring technique.
