Prior to reading this article, I did not have a clue what mandated clients were. Coming into this article all I knew about mandated clients were, that it revolved around those who need help. But of course, my understanding of mandated clients grew after reading the article. I personally feel like I would not mind working with a mandated client. The reason why I wouldn’t mind is, even though mandated clients “rarely desire the service we have to offer” it would make our experience while working with them even better. Why? It states that mandated clients “don’t care what you know until they know you care”. It may sound funny or a little crazy right? I would also consider it a beautiful thing because, you can have a chance to grow with this client.

In the case study B, “When ‘Best Interests of Client’ Harm a Third”, the ethical dilemma existing is best interest of client vs. obligation to nonmaleficence. According to the NASW Code of Ethics, there is no specific legal code that actually addresses the decision making dilemma. There is the legal code section 1.01, Commitment to Clients however, it does not effectively support and guide Suzanne’s worker in this particular case despite the discussion of the “responsibility to the larger society” (Workers, 2008) as well as, reporting “specific legal obligations” (Workers, 2008). It is Suzanne’s worker who has the primary responsibility to act in the best interest of Suzanne, but lacks in consideration and support of Suzanne’s younger sister. There is also, the legal code section 1.06 Conflicts of Interest part (d), providing “services to two or more people who have a relationship with each other” (Workers, 2008) however, it does not take into consideration that both Suzanne and her younger sister each have their own workers who are both employed with the identical agency. Needless to say, the worker made an accountable decision based on motivation to keep both Suzanne and her younger sister together, which would be beneficial to both siblings. By supporting and maintaining the sibling’s affiliation, it exemplifies a “source of continuity, identity, and security” (Rothman, 2013, p. 62), which is not only important for the bonding of both Suzanne and her younger sister, but

In addition, from this interview it will discuss the three goals that will be addressed and the reasons for selecting them for my client. However, the client is the one who chooses what problems need to be addressed because of self-determination and which issues might have a higher priority and need compared to others. Furthermore, this paper will discuss the goals that are realistic, measurable, and achievable for the client, and will be stated in operational terms. The final part to be addressed is the contract that outlines and specifies the goals, the responsible parties which would be John, the

In the past, the booming economy had allowed for year to year increase in their sales because people had larger discretionary incomes. But due to the recession, smaller independent retailers had to markdown their items in order to stay in business because designer outlet stores are getting more traffic; so will Harry Rosen follow in suit?

One half of the MS Society’s mission is to enhance the quality of life of the people affected by Multiple Sclerosis. They achieve this by placing a heavy focus on client services.

A large part of my work term was focused on supporting these initiatives and accompanying the CS Coordinator on her outreach sessions and events.

By using Glasser’s list of five basic psychological needs it is easy to see that three of Anna’s needs are not being fulfilled; fun, belonging and power. Once James broke up with Anna she stated that her social life had suffered. While Anna does have a few acquaintances, she rarely makes an effort to spend any time with them. She also spends a great deal of time working or at school. As a 20 year old college student at a large university, it would be expected for Anna to have somewhat of a social life however, it does not appear that Anna has any enjoyment or sense of pleasures in her life. The need for belonging is shown as not being fulfilled by Anna being unable to develop any close relationships with people since she was younger and the recent break up with her boyfriend. Anna also lacks a meaningful connection with her family, especially her father. The client does not belong to any organizations or communities on her college campus as well. Glasser believed that genuine connection between people is built into our genes just as much as the need to survive and when people fail to make a connection with others it causes them to suffer. (Glasser, 2000) The unfulfilled power need is made clear by Anna stating that she rarely feels any genuine hope for her future. Anna lacks the desire to achieve things and her sense of worth appears low. Instead of the client feeling accomplished and proud of her current GPA, within a
