Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: An Intergenerational Family Counseling Analysis and Application

What is a Roundtable Session?

Our roundtable sessions offer a chance to dive into a topic with an expert presenter, or team of presenters. They provide an opportunity to dig deeply into a particular topic during a 90 to 120-minute presentation.

Description

Counselor educators and supervisors have frequently used movies in their teaching to help counselors grasp and apply various counseling concepts. Attendees in this 2-hour TCR roundtable webinar will collaboratively and interactively examine and analyze the movie, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, through the lens of intergenerational family counseling. The learning objectives are as follows.

• Identify basic family systems concepts

• Discuss intergenerational family counseling concepts and tenets

• Discuss cultural and other contextual variables relevant to understanding the main characters in the movie

• Conceptualize the developmental, intrapersonal, and interpersonal experiences of the main character in the movie based on intergenerational family counseling constructs and tenets

• Develop counseling interventions based on intergenerational family counseling approach

The expectation is that attendees have viewed Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings prior to the webinar (available for streaming online on websites such as Disney+ and Amazon).
