Case Study - The Mitchell family

Learning outcome 1: Select appropriate theoretical knowledge to support future practice skills which aids effective involvement within various client systems, i.e individuals, families, small groups and communities

This assessment will assess your learning from Weeks 1-6. The purpose of the assessment is to demonstrate your understanding of social work theories, select key theoretical principles and apply these to the case study.

This assessment relates to the Mitchell family case study, which is available in FLO.

Task overview:

1. Choose one problem solving theory, i.e. task centred practice OR crisis intervention
a. Describe the main arguments of the theory (approx. 200 words)
b. Explain why you selected that specific theory; why it is helpful in understanding the case study? (approx. 100 words)
c. Analyse the case study from the perspective of the theory
      i. Select and apply two key principles to aspects of the case study; how do they inform your understanding of the case study? How would they shape your practice? (approx. 250 words per principle)

2. Choose one psychological theory, i.e. cognitive behavioural therapy OR attachment
a. Describe the main arguments of the theory (approx. 200 words)
b. Explain why you selected that specific theory; why it is helpful in understanding the case study? (approx. 100 words)
c. Analyse the case study from the perspective of the theory
   i. Select and apply two key principles to aspects of the case study; how do they inform your understanding of the case study? How would they shape your practice? (approx. 250 words per principle)

3. Draw an eco-map and genogram that represent the case study

4. Apply the principle of stress to the case study, and explain why systems theory is helpful in understanding the case study (approx. 300 words)

Please use sub-headings and include a brief introduction and conclusion (i.e. 50 words each).

The word limit is 2000 words.

This assessment must be supported by at least 10 academic references. You will need to use topic materials and undertake wider research. APA referencing conventions must be used.
