Practice Level Logic
Helen’s response to her challenges is not good. She is concerned about maintaining order in her family. As such, she cannot even disclose her son’s addiction to the family. She also lacks a work-life balance considering that she works full-time and has to take care of Magda. Helen needs to cope with her normal stressor, and ensure that her well-being is at the top of her priority. Cognitive restructuring is an ideal intervention to aid Helen to cope with her negative thoughts (Ciharova et al., 2021). This type of therapy yields desirable thoughts and helps Helen cope with her stress triggers.
Program Level Logic
The Petrakis family culture and religious beliefs do not permit them to share their issues with strangers. As such, implementing family psychodynamic therapy will be ideal for addressing the highlighted problems. The problems that Helen faces are a result of a lack of family support and her son’s additional issues. In family psychodynamic therapy, the social worker guides group therapy with the family (Becker-Haimes et al., 2019). This therapy session creates and maintains a healthy family dynamic which aids in addressing challenges collaboratively with the input of family members. Getting a reliable caregiver and income support, as well as medication and nutrition, can also help address Helen’s underlying problems. The outcomes of interventions will help Helen to manage stress and anxiety and receive the needed support in the care of her mother-in-law.
