Assignment: Application of Feminist Theory to a Case Study

This week your theoretical orientation is feminist theory. You will use the case study of Tiffani Bradley (attached). Use the "Dissecting a Theory and Its Application to a Case Study” worksheet (attached) to help you dissect the theory. You do not need to submit this handout. It is a tool for you to use to dissect the theory and then you can employ the information in the table to complete your assignment.

Submit a 800 word script discussing the client. 

· Although this is a professional presentation, it is not a formal presentation as in a speech. Imagine that you are discussing your case with a group of peers in a meeting. To verbally present a case can be challenging—but it is also a skill for which practice can relieve anxiety and result in improvement. This will give you an opportunity to practice how to deliver material in a professional manner.

· However, your script does need to be professional. Your script presentation should include the following:

· In 1 to 2 sentences, identify and describe the problem to be worked on in your chosen case study.

· In 1 to 2 sentences, explain how the theory you are utilizing defines and explains the cause of the problem.

· In 1 to 2 sentences, use the theory to describe the role of the social worker to facilitate change in the case study.

· In the assessment phase, identify 2 assessment questions you will ask to explore what the client’s goals are and how they will get there.

· Remember, the theory should be driving the assessment.

· Describe two interventions to address the problem and explain how the clients will implement the interventions.

· Remember, the theory should be driving the interventions.

· In 2 to 3 sentences, discuss how you would evaluate if one of the interventions you identified is effective with the client.

· Explain how, specifically, you will set the tone throughout your work with the client to reduce the hierarchical relationship and make it more collaborative.

· Evaluate one strength and one limitation of the theory in working with the client.

Be sure to:

· Identify and correctly reference the case study of Tiffani Bradley.

· Script should be clear and easy to read.
