Program Code / Name CHC50612 Diploma of Community Services Work
Teacher/Assessor Name Sue Trembath
Assessment No AS2
Assessment Title Simulated Scenario – Questions and Case Management Plan
Due Date 27 October 2015
Assessment Purpose

The purpose of this assessment is to give you practical experience in completing a case management plan, using the supplied template. It will also help you to identify needs, and write appropriate goals and strategies. The short answer questions are designed to expand you understanding of the processes involved in conducting case management with clients.

Assessment Details

Following an initial meeting with your client “Patricia” you have gained the information outlined in the case study below. Read the case study and then answer the questions below and complete a case plan utilising the template provided.
Patricia is a single female who is 45 years of age, living alone in a one-bedroom unit. She has been a librarian for 20 years but has recently been retrenched. She is concerned that she will no longer be able to afford the unit and may need to find emergency accommodation.
She presents as highly anxious and indicates that she has trouble making friends or forming relationships. She indicates on the first visit that she was severely abused during her adolescent years. Her mother was transient and became involved with numerous partners, some of whom physically and sexually abused her. Her family was very poor and two of her sisters were removed from the family and placed in foster care and consequently estranged from them.
Patricia indicates that she wants to find another job but because of her limited social skills, she is too nervous to complete applications and attend interviews. Patricia had a friend that she had connected with on Facebook. He was from an African country and she had planned to meet him when he visited Australia. Eventually, he indicated that his family had become ill and he asked Patricia for funds for medical expenses and to be able to visit her. She provided him with $3000 to pay for outstanding bills for his family and to pay for his trip to Australia. Once the money was transferred she did not hear from him again.
Since being retrenched, Patricia has found it more and more difficult to leave the unit. She finds she is suffering from insomnia and sleeping late. When she leaves the unit, she becomes tense and has developed physical symptoms of anxiety. Trips away from the unit have become less frequent and shorter. Approximately one year ago, Patricia went to see her local GP about her anxiety and he prescribed her anti-anxiety medication. Although the medication appeared to help at first she feels it no longer has the desired effect and consequently is dependent on the pills in order “to function normally”.
Patricia was very successful academically at school but is not particularly adept at outdoor activities and sports. She still corresponds with a very close school friend who now lives in Sydney. Two months ago she had lunch with her mother for the first time in a year and they were able to reflect on some of the problems that had been encountered during Patricia’s adolescence.

DESCRIBE THE IMPACT OF OUR CURRENT DIGITAL AGE ON THE CONCEPT OF SELF

DESCRIBE THE IMPACT OF OUR CURRENT DIGITAL AGE ON THE CONCEPT OF SELF

The Concept of Self

Prior to beginning work on this discussion please read Chapter Nine of your course text, and review sections 2.5, 3.1, and 3.2 from previous chapters.  Also read the Palacios, Echaniz, Fernandez and Ortiz de Barron (2015) article Personal Self-Concept and Satisfaction with Life in Adolescence, Youth, and Adulthood and the Dodge, Barab, Stuckey, Warren, Heiselt, & Stein (2008) article Children’s Sense of Self: Learning and Meaning in the Digital Age.

The concept of self is core to the study of personality, and most of the theories we have studied in this course postulate some idea about what constitutes the self. This week, we are looking at the self-psychology model which presents several theories regarding how we perceive ourselves and how that is expressed in our personalities. In your initial post, provide a brief overview of the two theories of self that resonate the most with you and explain why you relate to these theories. Be sure to identify the principal theorists associated with your two chosen theories. Describe the impact of our current digital age on the concept of self , including the impact of social media on the way we perceive ourselves. Explain whether or not our perceptions of self are evolving because of social media, including the idea of a digital self. Provide examples of how this might be happening or provide a rationale as to why you believe it is not happening. Your initial post should be a minimum of 300 words and should include references to both of the assigned articles.

Maslow's needs theory

Maslow’s needs theory

Maslow’s needs theory can be a useful framework for describing human motivation. Unlike other theories, it emphasizes the idea that some needs take precedence over others. While it has its critics, it has been applied in many different areas. As you create your discussion post, consider the following:

  • What are the basic principles of Maslow’s theory?
  • How can the Hierarchy of Needs be applied to a practical situation?

By the end of this discussion, you will be able to:

  • Describe Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and attempt to apply it to a real world situation.

Complete the following:

After reading the material on Maslow’s theory in the textbook, you may also wish to read the following: Abraham Maslow, Personality Theories (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (Skip the biography unless you are interested). Then do a web search for practical uses of the theory. You will find some applications in education and business. Describe in detail how the theory has been applied in the area that you researched. Does using it make sense? Why or why not? Be sure to document your statement with information from the readings and any sources that you have found.

Examine the discrepancy between the client’s self-concept and ideal self-concept.

IDENTIFY HOW PRESENTING CONCERNS RELATE TO CLIENTS ABILITY TO SUCCESSFULLY MEET SPECIFIC LIFE TASKS.

Case Conceptualization Process
Case conceptualization refers to the process in which one makes sense of a client’s presenting concerns in the context of a theoretical framework. In other words, it refers to how one explains or understands the pseudo-client’s symptoms, personality characteristics, cognitions, feelings, and behaviors in the light of a particular theory or integration of theories. Such understanding should lead to the formulation of counseling goals and intervention strategies.
At this stage, you will conceptualize the client’s case from 1 theoretical orientation at a time. The content of the conceptualization of the same case will differ according to the various theories depending on the aspect of human experiencing that each theory emphasizes.
In general, however, the case conceptualization process (as with the counseling process itself) starts with an understanding of the client’s presenting concerns (as presented in the case summary) from the perspective of the client.
Use the outline below to assist you in developing your Case Conceptualization according to the theory you choose to discuss.
Client’s Presenting Concerns:
This is derived from your Case Summary.
Case Conceptualization:
Present information used to generate hypothesis regarding the origins of the client’s current problems. Use outside sources and the Jones and Butman textbook to explain the concepts utilized in this section. Below offers an outline of how to discuss these issues.
Psychoanalysis or Object Relations Theory:

Explore      current and early relationships as they relate to issues of attachment and      autonomy. This includes gaining an understanding of how the client      understands the world and his/her relationships with others (e.g., the client’s      mental representations based on internalized objects). Understanding the client’s      internal frame of reference will help the counselor understand the client’s      behaviors.
Describe the      ideas and feelings about self that the client might have developed in the      context of these early relations (internalized objects).
Establish a      relationship between the client’s sense of self and current problems, identify      conflictive patterns that the client may be repeating in current life, and      explore to what extent current experiences trigger the client’s emotional      reactions elicited by past experiences (reliving the trauma).
Uncover      defense mechanisms embedded in the client’s presenting concerns and other      symptoms, and explain how they relate to the client’s current difficulties      and past experiences.
Help the      client become aware of issues described above, and help the client process      and resolve early conflicts.

Individual Psychology:
1. Identify how presenting concerns relate to client’s ability to successfully meet specific life tasks.
2. Explore family constellation to discover experiences that might have led the client to develop his/her specific faulty logic. Describe the content of this faulty logic and the sense of self the client developed in the context of these experiences.
3. Establish a connection between the content of the client’s faulty logic and (1) experiences in the family of origin, (2) problems in current life, and (3) the sense-of-self in relation to the world that the client developed.
4. Identify the underlining purpose of the client’s problematic behavior, and describe how it prevents the client from successfully meeting the life tasks.
Person-Centered:
1. While exploring the client’s presenting concerns, the counselor will assume that internalized conditions of worth have led the client to disconnect from parts of himself/herself. This disconnect, in turn, has resulted in feelings of incongruency and anxiety, which has impaired his/her internal locus of control as well as thwarted his/her self-actualizing tendency.
2. Examine the discrepancy between the client’s self-concept and ideal self-concept. Since the theory proposes that given the adequate facilitative conditions (empathy, positive regard, and congruence) in the counseling relation, clients will be able to reconnect with themselves and find their own way, the theory does not offer much in terms of a framework to explain the particular issues of each client. This is more a theory of the change process itself than a theory of personality development.
Existential:
1. Identify how presenting concerns (problem behaviors/cognitions) relate to specific givens of existence.
2. Elucidate how these difficulties represent (as mechanisms of defense) or are the consequences of the client’s efforts to avoid facing the normal anxiety generated by specific givens of existence.
3. Describe how these defensive behaviors have led the client to experience of neurotic anxiety and/or neurotic guilt and further problems.
Behavioral/Cognitive/REBT:
1. Relate the presenting concerns to faulty learning, irrational thoughts, and/or faulty cognitions.
2. Identify the client’s irrational thoughts (Ellis) and/or specific faulty cognitions or maladaptive thought patterns (Beck), and illustrate how these lead to the problematic behaviors.
3. Describe the antecedent behaviors and cognitions that trigger the client’s maladaptive behaviors and thoughts (this is called behavioral assessment).
