Case Study
Janet is a 4 I -year-old military veteran who did two tours in Iraq and one tour in Afghanistan. She is married and the mother of a 13-year-old son, Edward. Her hus¬band, Robert, is a retired military as well and was the primary caregiver for Edward while she served time in the Middle East. Both Janet and Robert receive military pensions. Robert is also responsible for two teenage children from a previous mar¬riage. He sends child support to his ex-wife on a regular basis. Since she has returned home from Afghanistan, Janet has been having difficulty with Edward. He is sassy, doesn't do his homework when she asks, and in general seems disinterested in lis¬tening to her. Janet is also experiencing PTSD, with periods of anxiety and flashbacks to her time in Afghanistan where she suffered injuries from a roadside attack. She is trying to deal with her own issues, but she is so tired and not able to sleep.The prob¬lems with Edward are just additional burdens on her, and she Finds herself screaming at him after school. Robert does not have the same issues with Edward, and although he has spoken with Edward about his disobedience, he has also spoken with Janet indicating that her personal problems are an issue. She calls to make an appointment at the mental health center where you are the Human Services worker. She indicates in the call that she wants some counseling for her son because he is out of control. During the conversation, she mentions that she thinks she may have a touch of PTSD and this is making it difficult for her to handle her teenage son.
What are some of the concerns that you have for Janet, and what services do you think would be beneficial?
What might be some of Janet's developmental issues?
Compare and contrast what developmental theories and Human Services skills that were applied in these two cases.
