Case Assessment of “Falling Apart”
The discussion board is an active learning opportunity where you will reflect on course content and process your learning with other students. All posts should adhere to APA guidelines. If you need more information on APA guidelines, please visit The OWL at Purdue. (Links to an external site.) This board is not an “opinion board.” Rather, it is a mechanism for you to engage with your peers as you all dissect and synthesize course content. Your comments should be grounded within the literature. That said, each discussion board post will tell you how many peer-reviewed journal articles you should use and how long each original post should be.
When using references, please include in-text citations and include your reference list at the bottom of your original post. Hutchison Chapter 2 & 3 Theoretical Perspectives on Behavior
DIRECTIONS:
Please view the Falling Apart video. Think about Jennifer’s biopsychosocial-spiritual functioning.
Provide a case assessment that does the following:
• Provide a brief definition of Jennifer and what you see as her major needs or challenges. This section should be brief. Perhaps only a few sentences.
• Describe the theoretical perspective that you feel is most appropriate for understanding Jennifer and a summary of how you believe this perspective contributes to your understanding of this case. This should be the bulk of this assignment.
• Write a brief critique (using the evaluation tool from Module 2) using your selected perspective with this case. Please think about strengths and challenges in using this perspective to understand Jennifer. Your original post should be at 1000 words and include two peer-reviewed references.
