Pam As A Scapegoat: A Case Study

Pam as a scapegoat. Aponte also made a comment in response to the father mentioning mumbling and attitude which Aponte reframed and said that there are other problems but to bring the topic back to Pam being a spoiled brat rather than address other problems the family is having.
V. Evaluation Plan & Intervention
Evaluation Plans are very important for growth. According to Staut (1997), “Taking the time to learn and apply evaluation activities is just as much a necessity for effective practice as is taking the time to learn and apply assessment and intervention activities” (Staut, 1997). By being able to evaluate where the family is at present you can help to make realistic future goals and interventions. This also helps to involve the client’s

in the process of change. For this family I think goal setting is something that was used by Aponte and a skill I would use if working with this family. Pam and her mother’s relationship is something that is clearly weak and needs to be worked on. I believe that Pam and her mother should have goals that involve working together and building on their relationship. Like Aponte made clear all members of the family need to be cooperate and civil. The intervention I would choose to use would be to have Judy and Pam both work together for balance. I would recommend Pam and Judy to instead make breakfast together to ensure they are connecting and becoming closer. I would also recommend them partaking in more activities together such as doing the dishes so Pam can feel closer to her mother as well and not feel like she is a spoiled brat. Pam and her mother should have a designated day on top of the above plans to spend together bonding and rebuilding that relationship. These interventions will really help with my main goal of working on the relationship between mother and daughter.
