Psychosocial Development Case Study Assessment

Overview

The purpose of this assignment is to use what you have learned about lifespan theories, models of resilience, and psychosocial development to assess how well individuals and families are functioning in relation to all three of these areas. To address realistic situations without violating personal rights to privacy, you will review the case scenario provided in the resources.

This case represents individuals in multiple life stages. Select three individuals in the case study family who are moving through different life stages and focus on details that will make your analysis applicable to your specialization.

Directions

For this assignment, imagine you are a counselor working with three of the individuals in the case. Now, conduct the following analysis for each individual:

· Identify the life stage he or she is in, along with the psychological crisis each is experiencing.

· Identify social or environmental factors that may have influenced the individual's behavior. Examine the connection between these factors and theories of learning.

· Apply psychosocial developmental theory to the situation presented, from the perspective of a counselor:

. Conceptualize your ideas for the developmental tasks of each selected person, grounding your conceptualization in your own area of specialization.

. Include a discussion of each family member's life and factors that might affect behaviors, including cultural and other influences related to the stage of development assessed. To the extent that it is relevant for each individual, include an analysis of interrelationships among work, family, and other life roles. Include an analysis of the impact of cultural influences as well. Refer to specific actions as evidence for your analysis.

. Support your ideas with specific lifespan theories discussed in this course, citing and referencing your sources.

· From a clinical perspective, assess how these three people function as a family unit:

. Examine their functioning in relation to a model of resilience appropriate to your specialization, and evaluate their challenges and strengths related to wellness and resilience. As each individual transitions to his or her next developmental stage, how will the transition impact the functioning of the family unit (Although Erickson's last stage is 60+, the text has specific stages for 61+ and 75+)?

. Support your ideas with appropriate sources on the model of resilience you chose.

Use the Unit 8 Assignment Template and the other helpful links in Resources to prepare and submit your report. Do not include a synopsis of the case in your paper. Instead, follow the template. Focus on the three selected individuals and the realities of their functioning as a family unit and transitioning within the family unit, as described in the template. Then, provide your assessment of how well they are functioning in relation to your choice of a model of wellness and resilience, as described in the template. Your summary, at the end of the template, should provide a brief, focused review of the key insights in your assessment.

Other Requirements

Your paper must meet the following requirements:

· Resources: Cite and reference at least three resources from the professional literature that you used as the basis of your ideas related to lifespan theory and resilience models.

· APA formatting: Format citations and references according to current APA style.

· Font and Font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.

· Length of Paper: Doing a thorough job on this assignment is likely to require 7–10 typed, double-spaced pages.

· SafeAssign: Submit a draft of your assignment to SafeAssign for review of proper citations and references. Then make necessary revisions before submitting your assignment for grading. Refer to the SafeAssign resources for guidance in accessing your feedback from SafeAssign, interpreting your report, and improving your writing and citations for your assignment.

Once the paper is finalized and all edits have been made, submit your assignment for grading. Use the following file naming format: Your_Name_AssignmentNumber_AssignmentTitle (example: Ima_Learner_u08a1_CaseStudyAssessment).
