    Behavior Intervention Pl Case Study

    In the meeting, Susan, the psychologist assigned to David’s case, reviews the steps that must be taken. His teacher and the parents believe that with Susan’s help, David’s aggressive and disruptive behaviors will be gone by the end of the week. Knowing this, Susan will go into the first meeting fully prepared to explain that it will take some time to assess and prepare a Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) for him. Susan asks for the contact information for David’s parents because it is imperative for her to speak to them before any group meetings can be scheduled. It is important that Susan receives verbal permission before she can schedule the initial meeting with the staff at the school. Without verbal permission, she will violate the American Psychological Association’s ethics code of informed consent: 3.10, which gives her permission to speak with other individuals who are directly involved with David and to conduct interviews and observations with him (APA, 2010).

    Symbolic Interaction Theory

    They are interdependent and rely on immediate family for housing and financial assistance when in great need. Mrs. LL’s two healthy adult children allow the patient to stay with them for short periods of time but choose not to get too involved with my patient’s medical problems because of her long-standing history of non-compliance and manipulation. Overall, the husband is in better health than Mrs. LL and doesn’t understand the seriousness of her co-morbidities. He is primarily seen by my preceptor and has a history of alcohol abuse, tobacco use, and diabetes. His lack of desire to promote change within the household stems from his fairly stable health, lack of motivation, and health illiteracy. Over the years Mrs. LL’s family has diminished and ignored the seriousness of her health status. The symbolic interaction theory strengthens the notion that through constant social interaction with her husband and children, Mrs.LL has fashioned her behavior taking into account the avoidance behavior of her husband and children through a process called “joint action” (Aldiabat & Le Navenec, 2011). Consequently, Mrs.LL’s social interactions have caused her to form a poor self-concept and continue unfavorable health…

By evaluating a client based upon the five separate axes of the DSM-IV, the therapist can come up with a complete diagnosis of a client and use that diagnosis to determine what type of therapy will work best for that client.…
