1 ROLE THEORY APPLICATION CHELSEY NESTER

Walden University

CASE STUDY PROBLEM

The client’s name is Tiffany and is a Caucasian female aged 16 years

Tiffany has run away from home a number of times

It is necessary for her to be taken to live in a group home

She has occasionally suggested that she wants to link with her pimp

1 TIFFANI HAS BEEN ARRESTED 3 TIMES FOR PROSTITUTION WITHIN THE LAST 2 YEARS. SHE HAS BEEN DATING OLDER GUYS, WHO SHE THINK CARE ABOUT HER. TIFFANI IS CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT SHE SHOULD DO NEXT IN HER LIFE. SOCIAL ROLE PLAY THEORY RELATES TO TIFFANI BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE DO EXPECT TEENAGE GIRLS TO HAVE THAT TYPE OF BEHAVIOR.

CLIENT’S ROLE

Tiffany who is the client in the chosen case study plays the following roles:

She is a student

She is a sister to her siblings

She is a daughter to her parents

1 THE SOCIAL ROLE THEORY FOCUSES ON OUR EXPECTATIONS FOR BEHAVIOR AND HOW WE RESPOND. AS A DAUGHTER, SHE SHOULD BE RESPECTFUL. AS A SISTER, SHE SHOULD BE A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL FOR HER LITTLE SISTER. AS A STUDENT, SHE SHOULD BE IN SCHOOL LEARNING.

2 THE SOCIAL AND CULTURAL NORMS

In this case study, the client, Tiffany, assumes a number of roles based on the social and cultural norms expectations.

Among these expectations are:

She is a child and should be handled and treated like one.

She is expected to show love and warmth to her siblings. (Dulin, 2007) She is expected to have the willingness to learn from her mistakes.

1 AS A DAUGHTER, TIFFANI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND TO BE A CHILD. TIFFANI MUST BE WILLING TO LEARN AND GROW. AS A SISTER, TIFFANI SHOULD LOVE HER SISTER AND ALWAYS BE THERE FOR HER THROUGH THICK AND THIN. AS A STUDENT, TIFFANI SHOULD BE WILLING TO LEARN ABOUT ACADEMIC SUCCESS.

2 SOCIAL WORKER’S SOCIAL POSITION TO THE CLIENT

The social worker has a number of responsibilities that should be executed while working with the client.

Among the social positions are:

Actively listening to the client

Be supportive when helping the client

The social worker should educate the client (Blakely and Dziadosz, 2008)

1 THE SOCIAL WORKER MUST MONITOR AND EVALUATE TIFFANI’S PROGRESS. THE SOCIAL WORKER MUST BE SUPPORTIVE OF TIFFANI AND SHE HER THAT SHE CARES. THE SOCIAL WORKER COULD EDUCATE TIFFANI ABOUT WAYS SHE CAN COPE WITH HER PAST.

IMPACTS OF THE SOCIAL WORKER’S ROLES AND SOCIAL POSITION

By practicing the social positions and roles, the social worker will;

Create trust with the client

Create a strong and lasting relationship with the client

Enable easy communication with the client

It will be easy for client and the social worker to understand each other. 3 (BLAKELY AND DZIADOSZ, 2008)

1 THE ROLE AND THE SOCIAL ROLE POSITIONS GIVE THE SOCIAL WORKER A CHANCE TO BUILD A TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP WITH TIFFANI. THE COMMUNICATION RELATIONSHIP WILL GROW BETWEEN TIFFANI AND THE SOCIAL WORKER. IT WILL HELP THE SOCIAL WORKER GET A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE ISSUES WHEN SHE HEARS TIFFANI’S PERSPECTIVE.

4 POSSIBLE ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS

As a young girl, what are your lifetime expectations?

How do you relate with your parents?

How do you relate with your siblings and friends?

Why don’t you want to stay home?

How do you think of men or boys?

What are your expectation of those around you?

1 THOSE ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS WILL GIVE A THE SOCIAL WORKER A BETTER VIEW ABOUT HOW TIFFANI FEELS ABOUT HERSELF, HER MOTHER, AND HER FUTURE RELATIONSHIPS.

TWO INTERVENTIONS TO THE PROBLEMS

Family day- this problem can be solved by holding family day occasions several times every year. This activity brings family members together and strengthens their relationships.

Love group- creating a love group composed of close friends and family members of the client will create a strong bond and help solve client’s problems. (Dulin, 2007)

1 FAMILY DAY, IT WILL GIVE TIFFANI THE OPPORTUNITY TO REUNITE WITH HER MOM AND SISTER. THE GROUP WILL SHOW HER HOW SHE SHOULD BE TREATED BY A GUY THE RIGHT WAY; IT WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE A THERAPY SESSION.

POSSIBLE OUTCOME OF ONE INTERVENTION

The most appropriate intervention would be enrolling the client to a therapy session.

Therapy sessions provide client with opportunities to speak out

The client might have lacked trustworthy people to talk to about her problems

Taking to a therapist will help client reduce her burdens and enclosed problems. 3 (BLAKELY AND DZIADOSZ, 2008)

1 I WOULD MEASURE THE OUTCOME FROM THE THERAPY SESSION BECAUSE AS SHE GET OLDER SHE WILL NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT IF A GUY LOVES HER OR NOT. SHE WOULD NEED TO KNOW WHAT LOVE ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE FROM A MAN OR SHE WILL END UP IN A WORSE SITUATION IN THE FUTURE.

3 ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE OF ROLE THEORY

1 THE SOCIAL ROLE THEORY LIMITS IT FOCUS ON WOMEN BECAUSE THEY EXPECT SO MUCH FROM A WOMEN.
