Week 4: Psychosocial Theory and Role Theory

3

Submit a PowerPoint presentation using the Personal Capture feature of the Kaltura media feature in the online classroom. Record yourself giving the audio-visual presentation much like you would in a case presentation or other public setting. The presentation should include 11–12 slides.

· Use bullet points when writing on each slide, meaning no long paragraphs of written text should be in the slides.

· Keep in mind that the recording takes the place of fully written paragraphs, while the bullet points provide context and cues for the audience to follow along.

· Be sure to review  the Kaltura Guide item in the Learning Resources.

Your presentation should address the following:

· Identify the presenting problem for the case study you selected. ( Remember: The presenting problem has to be framed from the perspective of role theory. For example, the presenting problem can be framed within the context of role functioning.)

· Identify all the relevant roles assumed by the client.

· Analyze the social expectations and social and cultural norms revolving around the role, social position, and role scripts of  one of the roles assumed by the client.

· Explain the role and social position of the social worker in working with the client in the case study.

· Describe how the role(s) and social position(s) assumed by the social worker will influence the relationship between the social worker and the client.

· Identify three assessment questions that are guided by role theory that you will ask the client to better understand the problem.

· Identify and describe two interventions that are aligned with the presenting problem and role theory.

· Identify one advantage and one limitation in using role theory in understanding the case.

Submit also, as a separate document, your Week 4 Analysis of a Theory Worksheet.

Be sure to:

· Identify and correctly reference the case study you have chosen.

· Use literature to support your claims.

· Use APA formatting and style.

· Include a Reference List on the last slide.
