MSW Intern Summary

MSW intern spoke with ct’s mother via telephone to gather additional information for ct’s initial assessment. MSW intern obtained verbal consent to disclose information to CSW Talin Boghossian for the purpose of gathering information to conceptualize the case and guide treatment (Release of Information to be obtained and filed in ct’s chart during next face to face session). MSW intern inquired about ct’s medical hx, trauma hx/trauma exposure to which mo expressed concern ct may be vulnerable to victimization and was exposed to DV one time when ct was 3-4 years old; and child abuse/protective service information to which mo reported police intervention on 1/31/16. MSW intern gathered information regarding ct’s developmental hx, developmental

milestones and environmental stressors.

Response: Ct was not present. Mo was willing to openly discuss ct’s medical hx, developmental hx, and trauma hx with MSW intern. Mo sounded tearful in discussing stressors related to ct’s impulsivity and expressed she felt she was “too hard” on ct because he was a “troublemaker.” Mo reported little emotional support from ct’s father since he was not living with the family. Mo expressed concerns regarding ct’s ongoing bullying/teasing at school resulting in “negative view” about himself and “insecurity.” Mo informed MSW intern of ct’s exposure to adult content via magazines and movies when ct was 3-4 years old while in father’s care. Mo reported addressing concerns to fa in order to protect ct from further exposure.
