Shaniya Robinson arrives at the County Human Services Authority for her monthly appointment with her social worker. Ms. Robinson is a 25 year old African American female who is receiving treatment for schizophrenia from the adult behavioral health services program. During a session the client reports that she is under a great deal of stress because she is having difficulty adjusting to being a new mother. Her five month old baby girl Shanice is teething and cries frequently. Ms. Robinson is also struggling financially because she is currently unemployed; her mental illness makes it difficult to sustain employment long term. And she does not receive support from the child’s father on a consistent basis. The combination of these interactional difficulties is weighing heavily on the client who reports an increase in positive and negative symptoms (i.e. auditory hallucinations and social withdrawal). Because the client does not have insurance she disclosed to her social worker that she self-medicates using marijuana in an effort to manage symptoms. More noteworthy, the client explains that she uses the same method to soothe the baby by blowing marijuana smoke in the infant's face. It is certain that Ms. Robinson divulged such information for several reasons, she wants help and she believes that any information she shares within the context of her sessions are confidential.

The social workers in both videos gathered information regarding each of the client’s issues. Another common denominator in both videos is that both of the social workers repeated what the client had said in their own words to allow the client to feel heard and understood. In the first video, social worker Karen asked direct questions relating to Mike’s alcohol addiction while also addressing how the addiction impacts his relationships including his marriage. Karen also addressed inconsistencies with the client doing so appropriately and quickly. It appears that in the first video, Karen focuses on the reality of the issue at hand to assist the client with establishing and accepting

If I was the social worker in case 3.3, it would be difficult with me to confront the husband about the information that I heard. Of course, I would want the husband to be honest to me about his extramarital affair, however, I do not want to force him to admitting to such an action. The man might be receiving the help that he needs without me knowing about his extramarital affair. On the other hand, being he is seeing me for counseling regarding his marital concerns, becoming aware of this third party is likely to be beneficial. I would not want to directly tell him that I discovered some things about him, because this will cause a lot of issues that I am not technically a part of. For example, conflict between him and his wife might arise for a variety of reasons. The man might not have known that his wife was also seeking services and once
She was still suffering from dysthymia. Her symptoms included; feeling hopelessness, low self-esteem, lack of appetite and sleep. These symptoms were affecting her education and personal relationship with her family and friends, as she distanced herself from them. In Asian cultures it is particularly difficult talking about depression and other health problems because some of the older members of family do not accept diagnosis of mental illness. They are either reluctant or avoid the issue of mental illness completely. This is a big problem in our culture because if someone is suffering through mental illness, they will not be comfortable enough to share with their family members. They believe that mental illness is shameful or disgraceful in the family. As the enormous stressors in her life had triggered suicidal thoughts, she decided that it was time she got help. Renu sought help from the school’s psychologist for her depression. The psychologist gave her advice to take care of herself, cultivate supportive relationships and do things that she enjoys. After seeking help, she started implementing things that would help her deal with her depression. Setting goals was her primary target, having goals propelled her move forward and helped her believe in herself. Since Renu enjoyed exercising, the psychologist stated that exercising regularly and following a healthy diet would also help her overcome

Examining conceptions of place and community development efforts requires robust methodological design due to the complex social and physical processes involved. The case study method offers ways to analyze these complex processes using various subunits of analysis. This paper will discuss the case study as a method and discuss how this can be applied to my own research. The second part of the paper will discuss survey methods, an important tool in the case study approach.
There are different types of qualitative research design; namely - a case study, action research, ethnography, phenomenology, narrative inquiry and grounded theory (Saunders et al., 2012). The philosophical position of this study of interpretivism supports the case study approach used to investigate the phenomenon under study. A case study design is particularly useful in empirical enquiry investigating in-depth contemporary phenomena, and drawing data from multiple sources for triangulation (Yin, 2014, p. 16 and 17). Yin (2014) emphasises the importance of context in a case study in research design, adding that the advantage of case study research is the fact that the boundary between the phenomenon and the context within which a case is being studied is not always discernible. Importantly, a case study is pertinent to answering the “who”, what”, where”, “how “and “why” research questions in both exploratory and explanatory studies (Saunders et al., 2012; Yin, 2014). The presented study has chosen a case study design to

Case work is not only the basic practice in professional Social Work but rather, a common practice followed by all. The traditional definition defines case work as “a method of helping individuals through a one-on-on relationship’’. Every individual trained or untrained indulges in case work. The difference is made by theoretical understanding and professional ethics, practices involved in professional case work. Mary Richmond in 1915 explains casework as “the art of doing different things for and with different people by cooperating with them to achieve at one and the same time their own and society' betterment.” Social Case Work can also be defined as “an art in which knowledge of the science of human relations and skill in relationship are used to mobilize capacities in the individual and resources in the community appropriate for better adjustment between the client and all or any part of his total environment”.
