Case Specification worksheet

[Basic information to be shared with your professor and role play partner]

1. Identifying information (name, age, gender race/ethnicity):

Name: Michelle Do

Gender: Female

Race/Ethnicity: Asian/Vietnamese-American

2. Brief description of the presenting problem, including its behavioral description, onset, severity, and frequency:

Michelle, a 9th grader, with a history of school-related anxious behaviors. She can become extremely stressed about her assignments and often cries to her teacher about her grades, even though she is performing well in all her subjects. Her teacher suggested to Michelle’s parents that she talk to the school’s social worker. The family was reluctant about the suggestion but agreed to the teacher’s suggestions. Michelle has been attending afternoon sessions every 2 weeks with the school social worker for the last 3 months.

3. Brief description of the treatment setting:

Michelle attends a small NYC public middle school. There are approximately 500 kids in her school. The school’s student population is approx. 40% white, 25% Asian, 30% Black, and 25% Hispanic. There are only three social workers, one of whom speaks Spanish, but the other two social workers only speak English. The social workers are overwhelmed by the number of cases and the diversity of the student’s needs. However, they have strong connections with local and other community health centers around Lower Manhattan and are able to make referrals to appropriate agencies. They also care conference with the families every 3 months. Social workers meet with their student clients every 2 weeks.

4. Treatment mandates or pressures.

Michelle is required to attend bi-monthly sessions with the school’s social worker to address her underlying stress or she would be referred out to a therapist at a city/state clinic. Michelle’s family is reluctant for her to attend, but they are worried about being perceived as neglectful or abusive by the school if they do not take Michelle’s condition seriously. Her parents are immigrants and have heard “horror stories” about Child Protective Services being called on families in the community, which pressured them to agree to the school’s suggestion.

I just need you to do step 2 i will record the video with my classmate but i just need you to verbatim style type what i ( the social worker) would say to this client for the case i copied and pasted above. Please follow the instuctions and also go to canvas and you can find more resources under this class.

Step 2: Conduct the interview

Instructions for the social worker:

Your job is to elicit information you need to establish a functional assessment of the presenting problem. The assignment assumes that you have established a beginning therapeutic alliance and that you have an agreement to work on the presenting problem using a cognitive-behavioral approach.

1. Open by briefly reviewing what you know about the presenting problem. To warm up the conversation, ask the client to elaborate one or two aspects of the presenting problem. For example, after reviewing the presenting problem statement, ask “When was the last time you hit your girlfriend?”
2. Transition to a behavioral chain analysis. For example, “it will help us to identify the specific sequence of circumstances, behaviors, thoughts, and emotions that take place in nights when you have hit your girlfriend. Can you pick a time when you hit your girlfriend that you remember well?”
3. Complete the functional assessment, meeting each of the five competencies for the assignment. NOTE, THE BEHAVIORAL CHAIN SHOULD BE AS SPECIFICALLY DESCRIBED AS TIME WILL ALLOW. HOWEVER, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FOLLOW-UP WITH DETAIL ON EVERY AUTOMATIC THOUGHT – INTERMEDIATE/CORE BELIEF. MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED AT LEAST ONE INTERMEDIATE OR CORE BELIEF DURING THE INTERIVEW, AND THAT YOU HAVE EVALUATED THE USEFULLNESS AND ACCURACY OF ONE AUTOMATIC THOUGHT/BELIEF COMBINATION.
4. Remember, I will stop watching the recording at the 20-minute mark. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT HOW YOU CLOSE THE INTERVIEW
