Summary of Case Study

In my case, I am dealing with a client from Texas with a history of trauma. 3 months ago, the client had a very bad accident but narrowed survived the ordeal. However, the situation has affected his other areas of life including his studies and how he associates himself with other people. My client is a 20-year old boy who is still in high school. Three months ago, I was called by his parents and requested to assist the client gain normalcy in his life and also improve his relationship and the way he associates with other people in the society.

My Intervention Method

To help the client, I requested the client to be undertaken through the Cognitive Behavior Therapy. In this therapy, I would subject the client through two main methods; the behavior therapy and physical exercises. The behavior therapy will help the client to overcome his negative feelings while the physical exercise will help the client to have a sense of relaxation in his mind. In behavior therapy, the client will be subjected in a three week period of intervention plan. During the plan, the client would be subjected through various accident simulation plans. This will help the client to get used to the accidents and change his attitude and feelings. I believe that this method will also help him to change his behavior and attitude towards other members of the society. Moreover, I will also ensure that the client undertakes physical exercises such as running and hitting the gym every morning and evening. This will help him to have a sense of relaxation in his mind. This intervention will take a maximum period of 5 weeks.

The Barriers to this intervention Method

Although the Cognitive Behavior therapy is effective, the attitude of the client also matters. If my client develops a negative attitude towards the CBT intervention methods that I have selected, it would be very difficult for him to heal and recover from his trauma. The CBT treatment method requires a high level of endurance. However, I believe that my client will co-operate and will recover from his trauma.

Challenges

The cognitive behavior therapy method requires the social worker care to evaluate the history of the patient. This requires an in-depth communication with the client to analyze the challenges they may have gone through. In terms of ethics, getting personal or private information from the clients may be directly infringing on their rights. For clients who do not like to share information, forcing them to narrate their private information will be directly infringing on their freedom of expression. In this case, I will not force the client to give me full details but I will request him to narrate all the ordeals. This will help me to adequately help him overcome his challenge.

Strengths of this intervention Method

The cognitive behavior therapy is an excellent method that helps client to get rid of their negative feelings and gain normalcy. It helps the social care workers to understand all the challenges that their clients undergo and develop intervention methods that help them to live in peace.
