Interview Maria De Jesus

Initially, I was worried about covering everything that was required in terms of client information in the interview. I thought that it would take too long, and that I wouldn’t be able to have a conversation with the client, and instead I would just be asking questions one by one. As the interview proceeded, and I focused on using open and closed questions, I realized that the session would go quite smoothly. Alex was really willing to discuss her medical and psychological background, and made it clear that why she was meeting with a case manager. I found it easy to initiate the session, and was able to ease into discussion about her concerns and objectives.

Perfecto Flores was a mysterious man which no one knew much about before his arrival to the town. Not even he seemed to know much about his past. In an excerpt from Helena Maria Virmontes’s novel, Under the Feet of Jesus, Perfecto helps a young girl on her quest for knowledge and developing the necessary skills. The young girl’s name was Estrella and she had much to learn. Viramontes’s use of tone smoothly expresses the realization and then transition that takes place in Estrella as she strives to learn more.

      “What happened?” is what I started my interview with. “Well,” my aunt said and she explained her story. She was at the barn alone riding her horse on christmas day of 2015.

This is a narrative of one Mexican American woman’s experiences and her views on the importance of passing down the cultural beliefs of her ancestors. In the section of the country in which I live there is a large population within the community of Mexican American culture. Although I have frequent contact with people of Mexican American heritage either through employment or interaction out in the community, I have a limited understanding of their culture. For this reason, I chose to learn more about the population of people I have frequent contact with and as a professional work with as clients in the field of mental health counseling. The quest of finding someone knowledgeable to discuss the population, their cultural background and some of their necessities, as well as some past experiences, led me towards contacting a church. This took calling two different churches before the person at the second church informed me that I needed to speak with, Mrs. Socorro Garcia head of their Hispanic Ministries. Unfortunately, Mrs. Garcia was on vacation when I called, but I was able to speak with her over the phone the following week, setting up an interview in person at her office a couple days later. This was a relief because I was becoming concerned about locating someone for a personal interview.

The interview was not extraordinary. One thing I struggled with was not knowing how in depth I was supposed to go in the interview. In IPE it was always that we were meeting the patient for the first time so we needed to try to get a full history, but the patient today was a follow up so I didn’t know what was appropriate to ask . I decided it was easier (and better practice anyway) to stick to what I knew and go through as if I needed to get a full history.
