Levy Family Episode 4Program Transcript

FEMALE SPEAKER: So do you want to try to go back to what you're telling me before?

LEVY: I can try. It was night. We were out on patrol. I remember it was so hot packed in our vehicle. Suddenly there was an explosion. We got tossed into a ditch. And somehow I made it out, and I could see it was the Humvee behind us. It's whole front end was gone. It had hit a roadside bomb. Our vehicle had just driven past it, just mistriggering it. But not them. They didn't make it.

FEMALE SPEAKER: Remember how we practiced. Slow your breathing down. Inhale and exhale from your abdomen.

LEVY: Thank you.

FEMALE SPEAKER: And just take your time. Whenever you are ready.

LEVY: So the bomb went off. I managed to get out. I had my night vision goggles on. And I could see the Humvee, the one that got hit. It's whole front end was gone. And there's this crater in the road. And inside it I could see--I could see Kurt's--our platoon Sergeant, he was lying there everything below his waist was gone, blown off. And he was screaming. Screaming like nothing you'd ever heard.

And then he was looking at me. And he was screaming for me to kill him. To stop his suffering. He was yelling, please. Please. And someone tried putting tourniquets on him. But the ground just kept getting darker with his blood. And I was staring into his face.

I had my rifle trained on him. I was going to do it. You know. He was begging me to. I could feel my finger on the trigger. And I kept looking into his face. And then I didn't have to do nothing. Because the screaming had stopped. He'd bled out. Died right there.

And all I could think was I'd let him down. His last request, and I couldn't do it. I couldn't put a bullet in him so he could die fast not slow.

FEMALE SPEAKER: I can see and hear how painful it is for you to relive this story. Thank you for sharing it. Do you think this incident is behind some of the symptoms you've been telling me about?

LEVY: When I go to sleep at night, I close my eyes, and I see Kurt's there staring at me. So I don't sleep too good. That's why I started drinking. It's the only way I

can forget about that night. So I drink too much. At least that's what my wife yells at me.

We're not doing too well these days. I'm not exactly the life of the party. I left Iraq 10 months ago. But Iraq never left me. I'm afraid it's never going to leave me alone.

Applying Integrative Theories

Cognitive behavioral theory is one of the integrative theories that I can use in providing suitable and inclusive intervention for Levy as it widely used to treat individuals with a wide range of mental health problems (Plummer, Makris & Brocksen, 2014). This theory is based on the idea that how we think (cognition), how we feel (emotion) and how we act (behavior) all interact together in determining and developing the best intervention approach for the patient. The theory or therapy intervention will enable James Levy to become conscious of when they make negative interpretations, and of behavioral patterns which strengthen the distorted thinking hence develop strategies or alternative that will enable them to reduce their psychological distress (Robbins, Chatterjee & Canda, 2012).

The social worker can effectively utilize the Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) which is a type cognitive therapy which spotlights on resolving emotional and behavioral problem that patients portray as in the case of Levy. The main purpose of this intervention approach is to change irrational beliefs of the patient to more rational ones (Robbins, Chatterjee & Canda, 2012). The social worker will have the active events from James Levy case and develop a belief that will positively influence the patient trait in a more effective manner as portrayed before. This theory will help Levy to start viewing the world in amore positive perspective as more of the patient strength will be empowered by the social worker in the intervention practice (Plummer, Makris & Brocksen, 2014).
