Abnormal Behavior – Case Study-Car Salesman

Case

Car Salesman
A 29-year-old car salesman was referred by his current girlfriend, a psychiatric nurse, who suspected he had a mood disorder, even though the patient was reluctant to admit that he might be a moody person. According to him, since the age of 14, he has experienced repeated alternating cycles that he terms “good times and bad times.” During a bad period, usually lasting four to seven days, he oversleeps 10-14 hours daily, lacks energy, confidence, and motivation—“just vegetating,” as he puts it. Often he abruptly shifts, characteristically upon waking up in the morning, to a three-to-four day stretch of overconfidence, heightened social awareness, promiscuity, and sharpened thinking—“Things would flash in my mind.” At such times he indulges in alcohol to enhance the experience but also to help him sleep. Occasionally the good periods last seven to ten days, but culminate in irritable and hostile outbursts, which often herald the transition back to another period of bad days. He admits to frequent use of marijuana, which he claims helps him adjust to daily routines.

In school, As and Bs alternated with Cs and Ds, with the result that the patient was considered a bright student whose performance was mediocre overall because of unstable motivation. As a car salesman his performance has also been uneven, with good days canceling out the bad days; yet even during his good days, he is sometimes perilously argumentative with customers and loses sales that appeared sure. Although considered a charming man in many social circles, he alienates friends when he is hostile and irritable. He typically accumulates social obligations during the bad days and takes care of them all at once on the first day of a good period.

Discussion 1: Reporting a Process Evaluation

Just as in needs assessments, interviews and focus groups are common tools for obtaining information about the processes involved in the implementation of programs. Process evaluation should include specifics about purpose, questions which the evaluation will address, and methods that social workers will use to conduct evaluations.

Review the many examples of process evaluation results described in Chapter 8 of Dudley, J. R. (2014). Social work evaluation: Enhancing what we do. (2nd ed.) Chicago, IL: Lyceum Books, or in the optional resources. Select an example of a process evaluation that produced valuable information. Compare the description of those results with the Social Work Research Qualitative Groups case study located in this week’s resources.

· Post a description of the process evaluation that you chose and explain why you selected this example. 

· Describe the stage of program implementation in which the evaluation occurred, the informants, the questions asked, and the results.

· Based upon your comparison of the case study and the program evaluation report that you chose, improve upon the information presented in the case study by identifying gaps in information.

· Fill in these gaps as if you were the facilitator of the focus group. Clearly identify the purpose of the process evaluation and the questions asked.

Social Work Research: Qualitative Groups

A focus group was conducted to explore the application of a cross-system collaboration and its effect on service delivery outcomes among social service agencies in a large urban county on the West Coast. The focus group consisted of 10 social workers and was led by a facilitator from the local office of a major community support organization (the organization). Participants in the focus group had diverse experiences working with children, youth, adults, older adults, and families. They represented agencies that addressed child welfare, family services, and community mental health issues. The group included five males and five females from diverse ethnicities.

The focus group was conducted in a conference room at the organization’s headquarters. The organization was interested in exploring options for greater collaboration and less fragmentation of social services in the local area. Participants in the group were recruited from local agencies that were either already receiving or were applying for funding from the organization. The 2-hour focus group was recorded.

The facilitator explained the objective of the focus group and encouraged each participant to share personal experiences and perspectives regarding cross-system collaboration. Eight questions were asked that explored local examples of cross-system collaboration and the strengths and barriers found in using the model. The facilitator tried to achieve maximum participation by reflecting the answers back to the participants and maintaining eye contact.

To analyze the data, the researchers carefully transcribed the entire recorded discussion and utilized a qualitative data analysis software package issued by StatPac, which offers a product called Verbatim Blaster. This software focuses on content coding and word counting to identify the most salient themes and patterns.

The focus group was seen by the sponsoring entity as successful because every participant eventually provided feedback to the facilitator about cross-system collaboration. It was also seen as a success because the facilitator remained engaged and nonjudgmental and strived to have each participant share their experiences.

In terms of outcomes, the facilitator said that the feedback obtained was useful in exploring new ways of delivering services and encouraging greater cooperation. As a result of this process, the organization decided to add a component to all agency annual plans and reports that asked them to describe what types of cross-agency collaboration were occurring and what additional efforts were planned.

Discussion 2: Social Work Agency Budgeting

Human services organizations cannot work in isolation because of the breadth and depth of social issues they address in their mission to provide services. By partnering with other organizations in the community, human services organizations can expand their service delivery. These community partners can complement the work of the social work agency and help raise additional funds for services. Strategic partnerships are not limited to nonprofit organizations; human services organizations may also work with local businesses. When considering community partners, administrators and leaders should keep an open mind and think about unique partnerships that will benefit the community.

For this Discussion, search for examples in your local community of partnerships between human services organizations and local businesses and/or nonprofits. (You may review the partnership example described at the top of page 306 in Understanding Your Social Agency, 3rd ed.) Consider how the human services organizations, nonprofits, businesses, and community benefit from these partnerships. Also consider limitations to these collaborative endeavors.

· Post a description of examples in your local community of partnerships between human services organizations and local businesses and/or nonprofits that benefit the community.

· Analyze the collaboration to identify aspects that provide benefits that go beyond the initial collaborative effort. 

· Explain how these aspects may benefit the human services organization.

· In addition, identify aspects of the collaboration that may lead to challenges, and explain how they may challenge the human services organization.

Discussion 3: Financial Capacity and Sustainability in Human Services

Receiving funding from a grant or other source of funds is a great accomplishment. Once the funding is received, the human services organization must be able to manage the funds effectively. The organization must also develop a plan to sustain the program after the funding period ends or the potential for change from the funded program may be limited. One way to determine an organization’s capacity for fundraising and/or financial management is to assess its strengths and weaknesses in these areas and consider ways to improve. This type of assessment should be undertaken before the organization begins to actively seek funds.

For this Discussion, you will evaluate an aspect of financial management or fundraising efforts in a human services organization with which you are familiar. Refer to the inventory tool on page 319 of Understanding Your Social Agency, 3rd ed., for ideas on how to evaluate an organization’s fundraising efforts.

· Post your brief description of an organization with which you are familiar (e.g., a field placement, a previous employer) and evaluate one area of the organization’s financial management or fundraising that needs improving, and explain why. 

· Explain three strategies the organization could implement to improve its financial management or fundraising situation.

· Explain how each strategy supports improvement.

4mat Review Mcminn

/in /by

The 4MAT Review is a way of responding to readings, lectures, and life experiences that requires you, the learner, to interact with new ideas on several levels. You will write a review for the McMinn textbook. In preparing your 4MAT Review, use each of the sections listed below with corresponding Level One headings in current APA format:

  1. Provide      a title page including only your name, the paper title (referring      to the book title), and the institutional affiliation (Liberty      University). Keep in mind that current APA standards recommend the title      length not exceed 12 words. Also, keep in mind that the Running Head of      your paper should be in the neighborhood of four to six words. All pages      must include a running head and page number, and all pages are double      spaced. Please include an abstract on page 2.
  2. Summary:      After introducing the name of      the book and author, summarize the book in approximately      2 pages. Be      appropriately concise but also be adequately complete in your ideas. Prove      that you comprehend the main ideas by writing a clear and succinct      summary. The summary is not      a commentary or listing of topics but rather a discussion of the core ideas (main ideas) in the      entire book. If you miss the main ideas, you lack an understanding of the      complete message of the book. The summary provides the      foundation for the rest of your 4MAT paper. Cite the book in-text at least      once per paragraph and include page numbers for direct quotations.
  3. Concrete      Responses: Be vulnerable. In approximately 1 page, write about a personal life episode that this book      triggered in your memory. Relate your story in first person,      describing action and quoting exact words you remember hearing or saying.      In the teaching style of Jesus, this is your own parable, case study, or      personal connection to the main ideas of the book. Your comments in this      section need to be clearly tied to main points from the book, not      tangential ideas. Connect your comments to the main points for the reader.
  4. Reflection:      This section is a short      critique or evaluation of the author’s main ideas; include positives/negatives      and strengths/weaknesses. You should consider new      questions that arose for you in response to what you have read and explore      concerns, implications, etc. Also, consider other sources that you have      encountered in your life up to this point that relate to this book, such      as other textbooks, journal articles, Scripture passages, and even ethical      codes such as those in the ACA Code of Ethics (2014). Provide this critique in approximately 1 ½ pages (sometimes      additional length may be needed to provide an adequate critique).
  5. Theological Interaction:      This section is a significant part of your paper (25 points out of 125      points), and you are required to reflect on the question assigned to you,      depending on the text you are reading for the particular 4MAT assignment. In approximately 2 pages

McMinn text. In approximately 2 pages, respond to the following issue: McMinn discusses guidelines when confronting sin during a counseling experience, and the lectures reviewed some factors as well. Why can a sensitive Christian counselor not just automatically and quickly confront obvious sin in the life of the client? Of the cautions mentioned by McMinn and other class sources, which ones to you think counselors most often overlook? Why? You are also encouraged to share any passages or stories in Scripture that directly relate to this issue. When identifying this story or stories, take time to clearly describe how this passage of Scripture directly relates to what you are communicating.

  1. Action: What      are you going to do about it? Develop action steps based on the core      points of the book. This section must be a description of how the main      ideas will affect your counseling. What professional changes will you      implement and share with others? Be precise in summarizing your action      steps and clearly connect your action steps to main points from the book.      This section must be 1      page or less.
  2. You      are also required to create a references page; on this page, you      must provide the complete reference citation for the book, along with      other materials, in compliance with current APA standards.

 

Create and submit these assignments in a Microsoft Word document; these assignments must be written at the graduate level and must be in current APA format.

Note: Use quotations strategically and sparingly; in a paper this size, do not use longer (block) quotations.

You are highly encouraged to use the following website as a reference for proper APA formatting (This is a sample APA formatted paper):
