Brown utilized emancipation as a resource, which eliminated the abuse she experienced at the hands of a caregiver. Brown’s next major point of social work intervention occurred at the treatment center Mesa Vista during her recovery from substance abuse. Using her internal locus of control and drive for self-preservation, she confessed her addiction to her boss Ken Rose, opening the opportunity for her to utilize a treatment center as another resource; ultimately her stay at Mesa Vista acted as a turning point, prompting her to fight for her health and well-being (Brown, 2006, pp. 333-364; Figure 1).

She also believed that when a manager is giving orders, they need to thoroughly discuss the instructions as well as deal with resentment.
