Jose Gonsalves: A Case Study

Constructing a treatment and service plan for a client involves various components. Prior to starting a treatment plan the professional should carry out a client evaluation. The evaluation should determine the basis of the difficulty or issues and assess the back ground of the client.

The treatment plan should include goals that relate to the difficulties and issues the client is experiencing, this assessment will discuss the components of Mr. McCunes personalized treatment program.

Within the past ten years, he has experienced cumulatively harsher consequences as a result of his drinking and drug use.

In my personal opinion all the evidence points to Jose Antonio Ramos as the perpetrator in the disappearance of Etan Patz. Ramos was the former boyfriend of the women who took Etan to school and back during the bus strike (Berman, T., & Sher, L., 2010). Ramos was also arrested multiple times for molesting children, and police even found pictures of Ramos with boys who resembled Etan Patz in a Bronx pipeline where Ramos was living in the 1980’s (Berman, T., & Sher, L., 2010). In 1991 Ramos told a prison inmate of his named Jon Morgan, which was working for Stuart R. GraBois and FBI agent Mary Galligan that Ramos had told him that he knew what had occurred to Etan Patz, and that Ramos had drawn a map of the school bus route and knew, which

The case identified involves the Mendoza family. Ramon Mendoza has been referred to an agency to obtain a counselor that specializes with clients who have medical issues. Ramon Mendoza is a 32-year old Latino male born in the United States, but his family is from Puerto Rico. Growing up, Ramon was primarily raised by his grandmother, due to his mother being underage and his father not being around. He is currently in a on and off relationship with his girlfriend, Louisa, of 6 years and has a 10 year old son. He now lives with his mother, who is his primary caregiver, his grandmother, and younger siblings. The family has been held together by his maternal grandmother, but due to the accident, there has been tension amongst the household as evidence by the change in his relationship towards his older half brother and his relationship with his younger half brother that looks up to him. On the day of September 30, 2011, Ramon sustained a gunshot wound to his neck that has resulted in C-5 quadriplegia and hearing loss. He is now paralyzed from the chest down and has limited use of his arms and no use to his legs. Ramon had abstained from treatment after being admitted to the hospital and believed that his pain and suffering would improve without the need of therapy. On November 1, 2011, Ramon was admitted to an inpatient rehabilitation center that has given him the urge to become independent. During Ramon’s rehabilitation he experienced depression, feelings of helplessness,

I am currently working with a 30-year-old male who comes from a lower socioeconomic background. He has a history of incarceration, abuse, and addiction to drugs. He is currently sober, and has been for a few years. He is currently married, has three children, and is currently unemployed. He is living with his wife, children, and two siblings. They live in a 3-bedroom apartment, with his brother and sister. His wife is the only source of income for his family, and he does odd jobs to help pay for things around the house. He is seeking help because he is aware that he is unable to control his anger at times, and needs help with how to deal with it. He also says that he has depression, anxiety, and PTSD from the time that he was incarcerated. He has received services through the clinic before, but has a history of inconsistent attendance. He will come to the clinic for a few weeks and stops coming. With the last therapist, he showed up for two sessions. He is not enrolled in any other programs, but receives government assistance to pay for food, and for health insurance. Initially, I was taken back because he looked so young. My initial reaction when I was first met him was curiosity: what brings him to therapy? In our first session, he shared that is having issues assimilating back to life outside of prison, and was having flashbacks of traumatic moments from when he was incarcerated. After the session, I realized my immediate assumption was wrong. Yes, he is young per his age

The treatment goal is for the client to learn effective ways to manage her anger. The primary goal is for the client to identify strategies and techniques that will allow her to deal with her anger and to recognize events and cues that can trigger her anger to intensify. Another goal is for the client to analyze family patterns and how her family dealt with anger and other emotions and how past interactions can impact her current thoughts, feelings and behaviors. By identifying strategies and recognizing cues and past patterns the client will be able to focus on managing her anger and using effective techniques in order to reduce her anger.

Today in this modern era everybody is getting practical, now a days people only like to believe in facts and never trust in something that does not exist or they do not consider real but there is one thing that does exist but not everybody believes in it, i.e., ‘Miracle’. Basically what is miracle…? ‘An effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and ascribed to be a supernatural cause’ (Dictionary.com, 2014, what is miracle) but people sometimes take miracle otherwise, they limit miracles to just scriptural sense, i.e., only related to bible, (Wayne Jackson, 1998-2014), but I believe that some miracles are part of our complicated and practical life, which do exist in the real world, which have the capacity to astonish people with their surprising results and the outcome of which can change somebody’s (Nissan Motors) life forever and with this perception in mind I have described a magical story in my essay about “Renault and Nissan Motor’s collaboration”, and its outcome on Nissan’s survival, in which the role of miracle man is played by Carlos Ghosn who changed the structure of the company and brought it out from the state of big losses (Approximately $22 Billion) to the state of huge profits within a very short period of time (Within 18-19 months of joining his duties) by making rational decisions and strategies which shocked all the analyst in the
