Case Study 2: Behavioral Therapy

CASE STUDY DETAILS

Albert is a 33-year-old single, Hispanic male who reports experiencing pervasively depressed mood following the dissolution of a six-month romantic relationship. Albert describes feeling overwhelmed with feelings of “emptiness” and is convinced that he will be “alone forever.” Although he has a high-paying job, he states he feels like a “fraud” – that he just got the job he has because of who his parents are. He states that while he has a “good” relationship with his parents and 2 siblings (he is the oldest of 3 boys), while growing up, his parents were so busy starting the family business that they weren’t around much. He states his father also has high demands and expectations of him.

Albert reports chronic difficulty managing his strong emotions and recognizes that others would describe him as “moody.” He further recognizes that he can quickly escalate with inappropriate and/or intense anger over minor transgressions, which subsequently results in feelings of guilt and embarrassment. His anger makes it difficult to sustain both platonic and romantic relationships. To cope, Albert frequently seeks reassurance from others (e.g., calling in desperation to make sure they still care about him) and drinks excessively (i.e., six or more drinks per sitting). Due to the heaviness and frequency of his drinking in the recent weeks, Albert has called out sick a few times from work to recover from drinking the night before. Albert doesn’t know why he engages in these behaviors and is looking for a treatment that will help him understand the cause of his maladaptive tendencies and manage/regulate his emotions in an adaptive manner.

Be sure to number your responses 1-5

Viewing Albert’s case as a Behavioral therapist, answer the following questions:

1. What are 4 goals for therapy that may be appropriate for Albert?

2. What would you focus on (Present or past? Unconscious or conscious thoughts or behavior? Short term or long termtherapy?)

3. How would you utilize ABC’s? Give specific examples.

4. Describe how you would execute the 7 steps of behavioral therapy for Albert. Give an example for each step.

5. What specific Behavioral techniques would be useful and why? Select at least 4

Psychology Questions

You teach at a well-regarded preschool that serves families in a suburban community. Aidan has been a student in your class of 4-year-olds for the past 4 months. You see Aidan as a bright and affectionate child who is an active participant in circle time, center time, and other class activities. A problem has arisen on the playground, however. Aidan has gotten into disputes with other children much more frequently than usual and has even tried to bite other children on several occasions. You have tried to explain why the behavior is unacceptable and to redirect Aidan’s behavior, but it is time for a more serious approach. There appears to be no simple reason for his problem behavior (there are no major changes at home or at the preschool) and the problem is limited to the situation described above.

1. Think about the questions you would ask about Aidan’s problem behavior if you took a social development theoretical approach. Would you be more likely to look to Aidan’s environment or to Aidan as an individual for the source of the problem? Why? (Provide examples of some of the types of questions your category of theories would ask.)

2. Based on social development theory, what suggestions would you have about approaches to try with Aidan? (Explain why these suggestions align with your assigned theory)

3. What do you see as the relative advantages and disadvantages of social development theory in this situation?

Therapeutic Application Paper

HUSC 210

The purpose of this assignment is to apply one of the major theories of Family Therapy to a “sample family” from popular culture. In addition, this assignment will allow you to critically reflect on messages of family that we see in the mass media, and to evaluate popular notions of the “normal family”.

Select a film from the list below and watch it at least two times. Even if you’ve seen it before, you’ll need to watch the film again to have a solid recollection of the dynamics within the family represented. Then, complete the following:

1. Provide a brief synopsis of the film, giving enough information about the family and plot line to inform someone who has never seen the film (at least 1 page). 10 points

2. Choose and describe the theory of family therapy that you apply to the family depicted in the film. Provide enough description and historical background on the theory to inform someone who is unfamiliar with family therapy (at least 1 page). 20 points

3. Apply the theory to the family depicted in the film. How would you apply this model of family therapy to the family in the film? What would therapy “look like”?

a. What would occur in the first session? Who would likely be present?

b. How would you structure future sessions with the family?

c. What is the likely course of treatment? How many sessions would you have? Who would attend them? What would happen in them?

d. Provide a role play for solving one particular problem within the family. You’ll need to find a friend or colleague to take on the role of one member of the family, who presents the problem as it is depicted in the movie. They could have seen the film, or you could provide them with enough background information to present the problem.

4. Make a case for this theory as the most appropriate model to treat this family. 10 points

5. Proofread your paper for spelling, grammar, and mechanics10 points
