Case Tractateing Case Study

The conversation between Phil and Tim was not much help to Tim at all. Phil told him that the average staff member he worked with had twenty years with the company and most were set in their ways, and some of his staff might hold resentment towards Tim because he was new the company and younger in years. This conversation offered nothing constructive that Tim could use to change the problems he was experiencing with his staff.

During communications with Chung, Leary could never gauge exactly what Chung was thinking and never recognized that communication constraints could have been causing a barrier between them. Instead Leary kept her suspicions about Chung and checked over his work on a daily basis to ensure compliance but never had Chung’s full commitment.

I presented Esteban’s case during case consultation because I noticed that I had countertransference when doing his intake. My expectation when presenting this case was to receive feedback that would help me to provide effective treatment to Esteban without my countertransference affecting his treatment. This section of the paper will talk about the feedback I received about my countertransference and how to support Esteban.

Following the interview conducted with a school psychologist, I was able to obtain a sense of Mrs. Montgomery’s basis for her practice, including her target clients, assumptions and values, goals and various roles of consultation, counseling, intervention and program evaluation (Sandoval, 1986). Mrs. Montgomery may be characterized as a school psychologist who places particular emphasis on the need to improve the student and systems’ capability.

Alex starts off the meeting with just checking in on Melinda on how she is doing and what’s new with her. Alex then quickly states that her sales numbers are down by 40 percent in one of her South American quarters. She then says the reason for that is that in this business it’s tough for a female to get business and that being a single woman trying to maintain different headquarters by herself is tough. Melinda also brings up that her performance on the job has not been bad and that she is still getting the work done. So she said that she could get the sales back up, but she would need an assistant for help like all the other salespersons have. Her main point is that she is the only one who can get the job done because she relates to the South American market because she is a bilingual South American woman. Another point she is making is that she does not get enough credit in her opinion, she states that for being the top 5 out of 100 salesperson in the company she is facing too many challenges.

Marie is the department manager at Verve, Inc. She has been working in the position for five years. Marie starts every Monday morning with a 60-minute department meeting where each member in the department gets five minutes to report progress, share stories of success and failure, and seek general input, advice, and information. Jeremy is responsible for sharing an anecdote, an

Thurman obtained a degree not solely in school counseling which allows her more flexibility. She shared with me that the least rewarding part of her job is when working with the families or students and she feels like she has tried a variety of concepts and still cannot see a difference being made. It’s a struggle because as a counselor she wants to be able to help people. On the flip side of the spectrum however, she described that being able to see kids blossom and find their way and overcome challenges is such a gratifying experience.

For my Interview I interviewed Anne Paine. She is a County Court Judge for the 11th Judicial district. The counties that she mostly covers are Red willow, Furnas, Hitchcock, Hays county. She travels anywhere they need her too. Her main office is located in McCook, Nebraska. Paine, didn’t really want to be a judge at first. She used to be a lawyer and had done that for 19 years. One day she got a call and it was someone telling her that a judge position had become open and they though she would be good at it so they wanted her to apply for the job. Anne said she had never really had any interest in being a judge but her husband had told her that her father who had passed away had always told him that he wanted Anne to be a judge. She then decided to sit down and write the pros and cons of the job and the finally applied for the job. One of the top reasons she decided to be a judge was because she wanted to be able to help kids get to better places. She has now been a judge for 10 years. Paine, had went to law school and explained that to be in law school you had to have an undergraduate degree in something. Hers was English, she had once wanted to be an English teacher. She attended law school for 3 years and had said that it just

She also realized that being in a classroom all day was not for her. When talking to Mrs. Cruthirds you could clearly see she loved her job and was filled with so many stories about her job. She seemed excited when talking about what she has done and still doing and has been encouraging to me. She said that she believes that children generally do not care what you think until they know and think that you care about them. This meaning that she is working to show them that she cares so in turn they will care about themselves and the future too. She does what every counselor does and that instills hope by showing you care. I like her belief or theory on this. I want to be able to show children that I care about them and for them to know and believe that they have someone that cares about them. I never realized until working in the school how many kids feel like no one cares about them and when they realize someone does you can see the light in their eyes. Mrs. Cruthirds talked about seeing the change in students as she began working with them. She said that students fall to peer pressure most of the time, so when you start working in groups with them or with their class as a whole you can see their thoughts changing on certain topics along with behaviors. The therapeutic skill that she uses most with her student is keeping in touch with them. Even when their problem has been solved she will call them in just to check in and remind them that she is always there to talk if

I am choosing Kat Stratford and Patrick Verona from 10 Things I Hate About You. They only came to know eachother when Patrick was payed by Joey to date Kat. Kat is very hostile and guarded so things start very slowly. Eventually Patrick begins to make more of an effort (partially due to money, partially due to an increasing interest in Kat.) Kat continually rebuffs Patrick's advances, so eventually information is obtained from Kat's sister in order for Patrick to become more likeable. then they go to a party together, somethign bad happens and Kat ends up drinking and almost getting a concussion. Patrick takes care of her, but doesnt kiss her when shes drunk so she becomes upset. Eventually they go to a school dance, some events happen and Kat learns Patrick was being paid to date her. Eventually they recover from this.

Janice was confronted with problems where she had to make choices on how solve them. The first one concerned Mrs. Wemberly, s/p colon resection who was requesting for attention. Instead of sending Nurse Mark to see the patient, she decided to check on her which actually led to a better outcome after her talk with the patient. This particular instance showed that Janice prioritized and valued her patient first over the schedule meeting with the VP. If Janice didn’t

Mrs. Moore is currently a school counselor she does miss doing private practice because she said you don’t get to build the same type of relationships that you have in private practice. One thing that she makes love about being a part-time school counselor is the flexibility. Dr. Moore has a 7-year-old son that has autism, and this provides her the opportunity to be with her son more. She does love the fact that she still gets to work with children and the other perks that come along

Shannon said when she presented the opportunities in the Major Pursuit Team and Alternative Delivery Team in Transportation to Charlotte, her immediate response was “No, Travis will be travelling. That is enough for both of us.” Charlotte later said, “I don’t know why you can’t create a hybrid position for me. “ Both Karen and Shannon feel that Charlotte is demanding new positions be created just for her.

She tried to explain to Melissa why she wrote the assignment but instead the discussion

The first group I interviewed were women at Greenhouse Church. I attended a Sunday, 9:00am church service two weeks in a row so that I could become more recognizable to those around me. After the service, there were a few women standing outside handing out pamphlets. I decided to interview these women because they seemed involved in their church community. I thought they would be great candidates for answering my core questions. However, they were the most difficult group to interview. I was not entirely familiar with the Greenhouse Church environment, therefore I was not sure how they would react. I spent about 10-12 minutes with each woman I
