Socw 6060 Assignment

The problem-solving model was first laid out by Helen Perlman. Her seminal 1957 book, Social Casework: A Problem-Solving Process, described the problem-solving model and the 4Ps. Since then, other scholars and practitioners have expanded the problem-solving model and problem-solving therapy. At the heart of problem-solving model and problem-solving therapy is helping clients identify the problem and the goal, generating options, evaluating the options, and then implementing the plan.

Because models are blueprints and are not necessarily theories, it is common to use a model and then identify a theory to drive the conceptualization of the client’s problem, assessment, and interventions. Take, for example, the article by Westefeld and Heckman-Stone (2003). Note how the authors use a problem-solving model as the blueprint in identifying the steps when working with clients who have experienced sexual assault. On top of the problem-solving model, the authors employed crisis theory, as this theory applies to the trauma of going through sexual assault. Observe how, starting on page 229, the authors incorporated crisis theory to their problem-solving model.

In this Final Case Assignment, using the same case study that you chose in Week 2, you will use the problem-solving model AND a theory from the host of different theoretical orientations you have used for the case study.

You will prepare a PowerPoint presentation consisting of 11 to 12 slides, and you will use the Personal Capture function of Kaltura to record both audio and video of yourself presenting your PowerPoint presentation.

To prepare:

  • Review and focus on the case study that you chose in Week 2.
  • Review the problem-solving model, focusing on the five steps of the problem-solving model formulated by D’Zurilla on page 388 in the textbook.
  • In addition, review this article listed in the Learning Resources: Westefeld, J. S., & Heckman-Stone, C. (2003). The integrated problem-solving model of crisis intervention: Overview and application. The Counseling Psychologist, 31(2), 221–239. https://doi-org.ezp.waldenulibrary.org/10.1177/0011000002250638

By Day 7

PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:

  • Identify the theoretical orientation you have selected to use.
  • Describe how you would assess the problem orientation of the client in your selected case study (i.e., how the client perceives the problem). Remember to keep the theoretical orientation in mind in this assessment stage.
  • Discuss the problem definition and formulation based on the theoretical orientation you have selected.
  • Identify and describe two solutions from all the solutions possible. Remember, some of these solutions should stem from the theoretical orientation you are utilizing.
  • Describe how you would implement the solution. Remember to keep the theoretical orientation in mind.
  • Describe the extent to which the client is able to mobilize the solutions for change.
  • Discuss how you would evaluate whether the outcome is achieved or not. Remember to keep the theoretical orientation in mind.
  • Evaluate how well the problem-solving model can be used for short-term treatment of this client.
  • Evaluate one merit and one limitation of using the problem-solving model for this case.

Your 11- to 12-slide PowerPoint presentation should follow these guidelines:

  • Each slide should be written using bullet points, meaning no long paragraphs of written text should be in the slides.
  • Include a brief narration for each slide (i.e., the narration takes the place of any written paragraphs, while the bullet points provide context and cues for the audience to follow along).
  • Record both audio and video for presentation.

Be sure to:

  • Identify and correctly reference the case study you have chosen.
  • Use literature to support your claims.
  • Use APA formatting and style.
  • Include the reference list on the last slide.
  • Speak clearly.
  • Dress professionally.

Art Appreciation

After reading Chapter 3/Themes handout on D2L, reading the Shepard Fairey article and going through the associated presentation you will complete this assessment. Assessments are different than homework assignments because these are meant for you to practice using the information you have learned without fear of failure. They are graded based on completion as long as you have followed directions and show that you have completed the D2L lesson the assessment is attached to in the content section. (By using the correct terminology)

Prompt: Consider the themes found in Chapter 3/Themes handout on D2L in relation to the site-specific installation, Ghostwriter, made in 1994 by Ralph Hemlick and Stuart Schecther. What is the artwork’s primary theme from the chapter? Provide visual evidence to explain your answer.

Even though you might think this artwork could fit more than one theme, be sure to select the one you think is the best fit. What is it’s number one purpose? Why was it made? On the midterm, if you discuss more than one theme you will not receive credit for themes even if one of them is correct as the task asks you to identify the primary theme (meaning one) of the artwork.

Make sure that you provide clear visual evidence that explains the theme you have selected rather than just describing the subject matter. You want to “defend” your answer. Even if it is a theme I might not normally associate with the artwork sometimes your evidence can convince me to believe it could work because art is subjective. Vagueness is not your friend and without proper evidence you won’t be able to convince me of much so be sure to be clear.

Note: All assessments MUST be written in complete sentences and in paragraph format. Failure to do this will automatically result in a ZERO. Write 1-2 paragraphs for this prompt.

Ethics Analysis

Professional EthicsApplication of ethical decision-making model

Rationale: The Code of Ethics is integral to social work practice. In this assignment, students will learn an ethical decision- making model and apply it to two decision cases—one case at the micro level and one at the mezzo/macro level.

Instructions: Students will have read the Dolgoff, et. al. “ethical decision-making” chapter and the NASW Code of Ethics before attempting the assignment.

Students will read two decision cases and then perform ‘the ethics work-up’ presented in the chapter, using the Code. One of these will be guided in the class material, but the other will be for students to do independently. The product will be a worksheet (see appendix) for each case, (the one that is guided, and the one done independently) discussing the steps taken in the ‘ethics work-up’.

Objectives

  • Students will demonstrate application of the Ethical Decision Making Model.
  • Students will apply the model to cases involving complex decisions about multiple realms of social work practice.

Directions

  1. Read the article, and the two cases.
  2. Watch the PPT regarding “Whose Side Are You On Anyway?”
  3. Complete the worksheet about “Whose Side Are You On Anyway?”
  4. Study “Private Charity” and complete the worksheet.

post your explanation of which group research design and data collection method from those outlined in the Resources you selected as appropriate for the “Social Work Research: Planning a Program Evaluation” case study and why.

For this assignment, I have chosen the Time-Series Design. I chose this design as it is still a quasi-experimental design but also has several pre-test and post-test outcome measures. It involves obtaining several client outcome measures before the introduction of intervention and several additional measures after the intervention has been implemented (Dudley, 2014).  One benefit of this design is the data trends can help determine the extent to which the intervention, as opposed to external outside factors is the “causal agent” (Dudley, 2014).

Then, generate criteria to be measured using the research design by identifying a specific outcome and a method for measuring that outcome. Specify who will collect the data and how the data will be collected.

By using a single system design (SSD) as an evaluation tool to measure whether there is a causal relationship between the practitioner’s intervention and a client’s outcome then adjustments to treatment delivery can be made intermittently prior to termination of services. SSD can be used for either an individual, a family, or a group and uses a graph as a tool to visualize client progress (Dudley, 2014). Having this graph available for the client may be a motivating element in practice.

A goal attainment scale as an evaluation tool for the time series design would be helpful in evaluating the extent to which the worker’s interventions affect client’s goals or outcomes in the way it was intended (Dudley, 2014). By using a 5-point Likert scale to measure with is a non-complicated way to track client progress when using the SSD I have chosen. The researcher in the case study also mentioned using a Likert scale in their study and the use of questionnaires, surveys, and checklists (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014b). Data would be collected from designated evaluation team members and would be done via surveys that monitor client satisfaction and effectiveness. These surveys are optimal when you need to quickly and/or easily get lots of information from people in a non-threatening way (McNamara, 2006a).

Post your explanation of which group research design and data collection method from those outlined in the Resources you selected as appropriate for the “Social Work Research: Planning a Program Evaluation” case study and why.

The group research design that was selected for this project would be an exploratory design. The reason being is that this type of design is meant for when there is little to no known information about the research subject (Sacred Hearth University, 2020). The case study stated that the social worker had not found any research on the foster care training program to date (Plummer et al., 2014b). Performing this type of research design would also help to gain familiarity with the basic details of the program and develop new research questions that could be used to study this program as time goes one (Sacred Hearth University, 2020). An appropriate data collection method for this case study would be questionnaires and interviews of the participants. The questionnaires will provide a lot of feedback, be anonymous, and are cheap and quick to administer (McNamara, 2006a). Interviews can gather more information about a participant’s experience and gain a deeper understanding from the questionnaire’s answers (McNamara, 2006a). While the interviews may take longer to complete, it would be important to perform them since this program has not been studied before. The amount of information gathered could support causality between the program and any change that occurred.

Then, generate criteria to be measured using the research design by identifying a specific outcome and a method for measuring that outcome. Specify who will collect the data and how the data will be collected.

One specific outcome that will be measured from this study will be that the number of foster placement disruptions will be reduced. This type of outcome would include a numeric count (Dudley, 2014) of how many kids were taken out of the foster parent home for reasons other than finding permanent adoption or reunification with their parents. The method for measuring this information would be collecting this data from the interviews that occurred after the program. These interviews could occur 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after program completion. This information could be collected by the person conducting the research program or the staff who taught the training. This information could also be compared against any previous data that had been collected using the previous training program and any placement disruptions. From this information one can compare if the number of disruptions had been reduced compared to the previous training that was being used.
