In this family, I cannot ignore the fact that Mr. Sanchez is working extremely hard to provide for his family. Not only does he have to work, but he wants to work and I cannot him any different. From reading the online description of Mr. Sanchez, I can honestly say that I am worried about his physical and mental health but I cannot tell Mr. Sanchez to stop working because that is a violation of the client’s ability to self – determination.

Australia aimed to highlight the fundamental nature of IPE by developing the Centre for Professional Education Advancement as well creating a push for policy makers and legislators to acknowledge IPE as a crucial necessity of practice as more and more evidence arose to prove its effectiveness in achieving optimal client rehabilitation and development. One of the driving forces behind interproffesional collaboration coming to the forefront of practice was due to the highly complex nature of client problems, that couldn’t simply be addressed or fixed by one discipline alone (Mccallin, 2008). Take for example a young girl who has been fallen pregnant at the hands of her abusive partner. This client would need the expertise and ongoing support of health professionals including a doctor to assist throughout the duration pregnancy if she wished to continue as well as psychologist to help her with the emotional trauma of being a domestic violence victim. She may also have a social worker and perhaps even a lawyer if the situation were to escalate into legal custody battle. Complex social issues can permeate

Treatment under this model is one of problem solving and utilizing an individual’s strengths to overcome his or her issues. The goal is to foster empowerment and self-sufficiency in order for the client to return to his or her environment (Woodside & McClam, 2014).
Case management must believe in the autonomy of the client. We must be committed to the process and we will implement the principles taught in order to obtain total client participation and empowerment (Woodside & McClam, 2013). The drugs are not the only problem; the way of life that has debilitated them and left them on the streets has to be addressed and the case manager has to look at the back story that has delivered the addict to their current situation. Those that suffer from abuse, mental illness and/or trauma creates a person that only knows how to cope with life by turning to substances for an escape from reality. In case management, there are many problems in working with the homeless addicted population. This population finds it difficult to maintain or keep up with any goals, so it would have to be the social workers main objective to keep the lines of trust and communication open for greater outcomes at every level of treatment. It is a challenge and the case manager has discovered that if the approach is multidimensional; the addiction can be combated by providing hope and a chance to break free from these cycles of addictions leading to a better way of

Case Management Case management has become the standard method of managing health care delivery systems today. In recent decades, case management has become widespread throughout healthcare areas, professionals, and models in the United States. It has been extended to a wide range of clients (Park & Huber, 2009). The primary goal of case management is to deliver quality care to patients in the most cost effective approach by managing human and material resources. The focus of this paper is on the concept of case management and how it developed historically, the definition of case management, the components of case management, and how it relates to other nursing care delivery models.

This is a hasty conclusion because she feels as though her problem will lead to death and she acts as though it is completely out of her control. Her ideas about human nature are one of the causes of her issues. Some argued that one 's beliefs about one 's own human nature influence every aspect of their lives, including relationships, self-view, and view of society (Velasquez, 2014, p.55). This argument applies to the client 's case effectively because her view of human nature is causing her to believe that she will end up just like her biological mother. To help the client believe that her future and nature is in her own hands one could point to the beliefs of Kant, that the existence of the self is purely based on the ability to make decisions for ourselves (Velasquez, 2014, p. 100). Perhaps, one could also tell the client about the existentialist view that states humans can do whatever they want with themselves because there is no such thing as human nature, we are fully responsible for how we end up and we have complete control, we as humans have free choice as well as actions (Velasquez, 2014, p. 74). You could prove to the client that she has a choice in her actions as well as human nature by pointing out that she did choose to quit drugs and working as a prostitute for 2 years now even though her mother continued living that lifestyle. If the client had no control over her human nature, she would not have been able to quit for that time or any amount of
This paper will discuss a thirty-two year old pregnant woman named Regina, who was brought into the emergency room with many superficial injuries. She is accompanied by her five year-old son. Later in the conversation, Regina discloses that she is a victim in intimate partner violence. Violence is a very common occurrence in partner relationships. According to McHugh and Frieze (2006), it is estimated that more than a quarter of relationships involve at least one violent incident. Partner violence can include anything from a heated argument or yelling, to physical attacks or threats such as hitting, slapping, or pushing (McHugh & Frieze, 2006). Often, the women in relationships are the victims of the abuse, posing the simple question, “why doesn’t she just leave.” For most women, it is near impossible to remove themselves from the relationship because of psychological factors. She may be worried that her partner will abuse her worse should he ever find her. She may fear the guilt that she could experience for leaving the relationship, or she may be concerned about money situations, had he been the sole provider (McHugh & Frieze, 2006). There are many reasons why a woman may feel ‘stuck’ in an abusive relationship, which is why support groups and therapeutic communication are important. The purpose of this paper is to create a therapeutic conversation with Regina and her son, in order to build an appropriate intervention for intimate partner violence using the psychoanalytical theory.
