In the case study, Katherine is beginning her first semester at college, and realizes that she has a chance to turn over a new leaf and be whoever she wants to be. She tells Kim in confidence that she is not sure how she wants to present herself to her new peers, giving the example of the different nicknames she has to choose from when introducing herself. Soon, Katherine finds that she has bigger decisions than what name to use when her friend, Russ, mentions that the only people who truly have problems keeping up with college are disabled. Katherine feels torn on whether or not to disclose that she herself has a learning disability to Russ, who has given the impression he looks down on those who have disabilities. Katherine makes the decision to consult with the Learning Disability Center on whether or not she should tell her new friends about her disability, and ultimately decides to tell her roommate Kim before sharing the information with Russ. Several concepts of CPM theory are portrayed in this case study, including but not limited to the boundaries, privacy control, and rules-based managing systems. In the case study, Katherine considers her ADD as private information. This is evident because of how deeply concerned she is about how this piece of information could potentially affect other people’s perception of her if they knew. She wonders “what Russ would think if he knew [she] had ADD, (case study)” and worries about how this could affect whether he will want to
The novel translates our problems into real life by showing us how people can, without knowing it, emotionally abuse others because of their lack of knowledge or decisions they have made. The main character Kate, in her adulthood, sees Matt (her older brother) as an unhappy man - because he was unable to follow through with his university dreams. Kate, later attends university expanding her knowledge past that of her brother Matt’s making her feel as if she cannot speak to him in the same way that she used to. At one point in her adulthood Kate said “He was waiting for me to go on, to describe my work to him, but I could not bring myself to do that” (Lawson 275). This connects with the subject matter of emotional abuse because Kate is hurting her older brother Matt. She does not realize that he wants to speak with her and have a relationship with her - she feels that because of her university education she cannot interact with him any more. In the real world many people face emotional abuse. People are ostracized for many reasons including level of intellect or the decisions they have made. Family members and close friends have changed their loved one’s lives because of their opinions on them. In the article Nature vs. Nurture: Mental Illness Triggered By Life Events And Not Through Genetics it is stated that “despite the fact that genetics can potentially influence the individual's mental health, traumatic events are still considered as the most influential factor”. The traumatic event of their parent’s dying resulted in Matt making bad decisions and then later not going university as a result. This caused the greatest tragedy in the novel; the loss of the relationship between Kate and Matt. Kate began to speak less with Matt and when she came to visit him he suffered from anxiety, lack of sleep, etc.. Kate stopped talking to Matt even though

When looking at Donna’s story, one must analyze how the child welfare system and government failed to help Donna as a child and young adult. In this part of the paper, I will also be analyzing her story from an Aboriginal perspective. As mentioned previously, Donna might have social work involvement in her life because someone has reported her, as a parent, to the government. In this case, the rights of Donna are secondary to the rights of her children, and a social worker must work in the best interest of the children as mandated by legislation.
