Social Work: The Case
of Miranda
Miranda is a 35-year-old, Scottish female who sought counseling
for increased feelings of depression and anxiety. Her symptoms
include constant worry, difficulty sleeping, irritability, increased
appetite, unexplained episodes of panic, feelings of guilt and
worthlessness,
and feelings of low self-esteem. She denied any
suicidal/homicidal ideation but verbalized feelings of wanting to be
dead. She maintained these thoughts were fleeting and inconsistent.
She reported an increase in alcohol consumption, although
clarified it was only when she felt anxious. She denied any blackouts
or reckless/illegal behavior while drinking. She denied any
other drug use.
Miranda works in the fashion industry and reported that she is
very well liked by her peers and clientele. She is regularly chosen
to train other staff members and comanage the store. However,
she is often given a heavier workload to compensate for coworkers
who are unable to perform at the expected level of her employer.
Miranda stated that she has trouble saying no and feels increasingly
irritable and frustrated with her increased workload.
Miranda has been married to her husband for 3 years, and they
have no children. She reported that both her mother and father
have a history of mental illness. Miranda’s parents are divorced,
and when they separated, Miranda chose to live with her mother.
Miranda’s mother remarried a man she described as “vicious and
verbally abusive.” Miranda stated that her stepfather called her
names and told her that she was worthless. She said he made
her believe that she was sick with chronic health issues and many
times forced her to take medicine that was either unnecessary
or not prescribed by a doctor. Eventually he asked Miranda to
leave her mother’s home. Miranda stated that her mother was
well aware of her stepfather’s behavior but chose not to intervene,
stating, “He is a sick man. Just do what he says.” She denied any
physical or sexual abuse in the home.
SOCIAL WORK CASE STUDIES: CONCENTRATION YEAR
6
In order to treat Miranda’s symptoms, we first addressed the
need for medication, and I provided a referral to a psychiatrist. The
psychiatrist diagnosed her with panic disorder and major depressive
disorder and prescribed appropriate medications to assist her
with her symptoms. Miranda and I began weekly sessions to focus
on managing her boundaries both at work and with her family.
We discussed her behavior around boundary setting as well as
the possibility of enlisting her husband as a support person to
encourage and promote healthy boundaries. We also discussed
unresolved issues from her childhood. This approach enabled
Miranda to gain insight into the self and how her maltreatment as
a child affected her functioning in the present time. This insight
enabled Miranda to validate her feelings of anger, frustration, and
sadness about her upbringing and further give herself permission
to set appropriate boundaries in her relationships. We also
discussed the need for relaxation and stress management. Miranda
was able to identify that she used to enjoy cycling and running but
had not been engaging in them because of the demands at work.
After discussing the importance of self-care, Miranda began to
exercise again and set a goal to enter local running and cycling
events to encourage herself to continue.
After 1 year of therapy, Miranda decided to taper down her
medication, which was monitored by her psychiatrist. She has
chosen to remain in therapy weekly to monitor her mood as she
decreases her medication. Miranda’s overall presentation has
improved greatly. With the use of medication, behavioral therapy,
relaxation techniques, and psychodynamic therapy, Miranda’s
affect presents as stable and her symptoms of depression are
gone. Miranda is a client that is able to verbalize the benefits of
treatment in helping her gain insight and empower herself to validate
her own emotional needs. She has been a highly motivated
patient who enjoys the safety of being able to express her thoughts
and feelings without judgment.

Reflection Questions
The social worker in each of the cases answered select additional questions as follows.
Practice
Mental Health Diagnosis in Social Work:
The Case of Miranda
1. What specific intervention strategies (skills, knowledge, etc.) did you use to address this client situation?
I referred the client to a psychiatrist. I used behavioral therapy, relaxation and stress management techniques, and psychodynamic and structural family theories to address underlying issues from childhood.
2. Which theory or theories did you use to guide your practice?
I used psychodynamic and structural family theories to address adult survivors of child abuse in order to help Miranda connect to the effects of her stepfather’s maltreatment, regain her sense of self, and recognize the unhealthy functioning in her present relationships and daily living.
3. What were the identified strengths of the client(s)?
Miranda was motivated, identified goals well, and had a supportive husband.
4. What were the identified challenges faced by the client(s)?
Miranda reported a mental health history.
5. What were the agreed-upon goals to be met to address the concern?
The initial goal was to decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression. As therapy progressed, the greater goal became gaining insight into Miranda’s childhood to allow for more self-care and stress management.
6. How can evidence-based practice be integrated into this situation?
Miranda’s case is a great example of the benefit of a combination of medication and talk therapy for overall improvement of emotional and mental health.
SOCIAL WORK CASE STUDIES: CONCENTRATION YEAR

7. Is there any additional information that is important to the
case?
It is important to note that prior to seeing me for treatment,
Miranda had been to several psychiatrists who misdiagnosed
her with borderline personality disorder and bipolar
disorder specifically based on the fact that she was female
and had a history of abuse. She had been given a series of
medications that were ineffective due to misdiagnosis. When
Miranda came in for the first session she was very distrusting
of psychotherapy as well as medication. My ability to create
a safe and trusting environment was of the upmost importance
in order for Miranda to get well and work with her
underlying issues.
8. Describe any additional personal reflections about this case.
Miranda’s case is a great example of the need for a thorough
mental health history, mental status exam, as well as family
history of mental health issues and relationships. With individuals,
it is important to ask critical questions that reflect mood
and affect presentation as well as history of drug and alcohol use,
family dynamics, and any past history of abuse. There is almost
always a reason for a patient’s mood deregulation. A proper evaluation
session allows for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning
as well as letting you, the social worker, know if this is a case
that will fit within your practice.
Social Work Supervision: Trauma Within Agencies
1. What specific intervention strategies (skills, knowledge,
etc.) did you use to address this client situation?
This was a difficult tragedy to deal with, and it was difficult
to know how to proceed. I had contacted the county (who
funded the agency) for help. The people I contacted at
the county did not know what to do and were of little help
because, as they stated, they had never dealt with death of a
staff member. I turned to my senior staff, and we as a group
came up with a plan to notify each client in the most sensitive
way possible. In addition, the use of another agency and our

The advent of the new millennium came with a new positive attitude towards the importance of interdisciplinary healthcare teams. As opposed to preferring health care professionals to work in surroundings that are parallel, interdisciplinary philosophy advocates for the need for collaborative efforts about the planning of treatment and discharge procedures for all the patients (Robin, Bonifas & Gray, 2013). Moreover, interdisciplinary health care teams are inspired by the idea that one individual can do unique things that others cannot and only through the teaming up of individuals can greatness be realized. The main aim of developing interdisciplinary teamwork resonates with inclusive effort and a greater respect of involving medical social work into the healthcare system.
Within the field of healthcare, patients may come across myriad specialized professionals all of whom may be a representation of a unique treatment schema and intellectual model of healthcare. Some of the medical specializations may include cardiology, nursing, psychology, neurology, emergency medicine, trauma, interventional radiology, gastroenterology, and physical medicine among others (Robin, Bonifas & Gray, 2013). It is worth mentioning that every specified expertise revolves around well-defined levels of engagement. For instance, a neurologist would only be part and parcel of a treatment team the moment he or she approached by a hospitalist physician. Ideally, the neurology team would not be concerned with the psychosocial components of any given the patient and therefore would not contribute in any way to the discharge planning process.
Professionals in the field of healthcare need to be disciplined, respectful, flexible, and open to communication to be successful in interdisciplinary team settings (Mitchell et al., 2012). Whenever communication is compromised, then it becomes tough to realize treatment that is safe and timely. What's more, minus flexibility and respect, teams from alternative disciplines may feel overwhelmed or hassled to give healthy insight or come up with suggestions for the care of a specific patient? In summary, some of the most essential characteristics that underpin interdisciplinary teamwork revolves around constructive management and leadership attributes; structures and strategies for communication, individualized rewards, training and career development; appropriate skill mix; proper procedures and instrumentation (resources); the right mix of skills; helpful team climate; personal attributes that foster interdisciplinary teamwork; precision of vision; excellence and results of care; and valuing and being accommodative to roles.
All methods, theories, and practices of effective patient care are characterized by challenges (Robin, Bonifas & Gray, 2013). When taking part in interdisciplinary teamwork, social workers may go through a couple of difficulties that may have to do with being given an ear, mutual respect, and patient safety. Secondly, it is very easy for doctors and physicians to look down upon social workers as people that are devoid of enough clinical knowledge and ones not befitting of making critical treatment decisions (Mitchell et al., 2012). Besides , being that social workers have a history of not being adequately rewarded and serving as assistants to doctors, they have time and again been denied the clinical respect they deserve. The lack of respect denies them power and position within team settings; an issue that makes social workers unappreciated in their roles and responsibilities.

Hello, Social work within the health services will require a broad-spectrum intervention repertoire supported by a complex set of competencies and skills, including administrative, leadership and accountability. The challenge facing social work within the transforming health care world is whether a sufficient number of capable social work practitioners will be able to staff the delivery systems and meet the growing recognition of the need for psychosocial care.

Hi Everyone:
In your previous classes you should have discussed how to select a peer-reviewed article - i.e. key assumptions, validity, merits of the arguments/perspectives presented, and appropriateness of the theoretical framework to the data collection and analysis, and overall clarity. While reviewing articles for this discussion, what criteria did you use to evaluate and select your article as part of your evidence-based plan for action?
Thanks!
