Case Study: Parkwood Residential Treatment Center

Decent Essays
A. This week for the reporting period, I participated in redirecting calls, for clients, a forensic interview, and visiting Parkwood Residential Treatment Center. I observed social workers and also the clients interactions. During the forensic interview, I observed as the child would talk with the therapist. I could tell that the child was getting tired and irritated because the therapist was asking the same questions back to back. I also participated in sitting in with the social worker and the therapist at Parkwood. I observed as the child talked with both and how comfortable he seemed to be expressing himself. The therapist didn’t sugarcoat anything with him neither. I could tell that she had a good professional relationship with the child.

    Trinsic Residential Group is unlike an FOE. While the company shares some common aspects of an FOE as described by Raj Sisodia et al. in Firms of Endearment, it lacks a holistic view of its business model and a broad consideration of stakeholders. There are several reasons for its departure from an FOE including; a market focus, availability of resources and the small, disjointed number of employees involved in the company. Over a period of time the company has begun to run more in line with an FOE, but is still a long way from becoming a full-fledged FOE as the authors of Firms of Endearment define them.…

    The social worker decided to use Christine’s behavioral incident reports as a way to evaluate her intervention in an A-B single subject research design. The social worker believed using the incident reports would reduce bias in the evaluation because it was a method the foster parents were accustomed to using. The social worker also chose to not tell Christine about the evaluation, because she wanted the intervention to be the only thing that influenced Christine’s behavior. The behavioral incident reports used in the single subject research design were the ones that pertained to Christine not following the house rules, making impulsive decisions, and having poor boundaries with male peers. The social worker established a baseline by examining…

    As mandated reporters social workers are obligated to report observed or suspected incidents of abuse (sexual, physical, verbal, financial, neglect, etc). I understand why social workers may experience ambivalence towards being a mandated reporter and why they may feel it jeopardized the therapeutic relationship. However, I am comforted by the obligation of being a mandated reporter as it take judgement of if and when I should report out of the equation. Often, individual’s I work with will ask me, “can I tell you something, but you can’t tell anyone else”? My response is always the same; “you need to consider what you would like to inform me”.…
