I’m working on a psychology question and need guidance to help me learn.
Read the following case study and answer the questions below:
Laura (aged 9) and Betty (aged 12) are referred for psychological consultation because they are both very tearful at school and are not sleeping well. They also refuse to speak to their mother’s new partner, John. The mother, Nancy, has been seeing John regularly for 6 months. He lives in his own apartment but sleeps over at Nancy’s house about 50% of the time. The children stay with their father Louis on 3 days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) one week and 4 days the next (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday). Nancy and Louis are still very angry at each other. Louis blames Nancy for the separation. He says she did not support his career in building construction. He makes his views known to the girls regularly. Nancy blames Louis for infidelity and for never being available to help with the children. She lets the children know her views regularly. The children have remained at the same school which has a primary and secondary section since the separation two and a half years ago.
1) What are the Short- Term and Medium-Term (pg. 914) effects you would assess for with these clients?
2) discuss one intervention for each client’s presenting issues of tearfulness at school and poor sleep?
This is for a Clinical Mental Health Counselor major in the US. DIFFERENT from a psychiatrist or psychologist, so make sure you write from the perspective of someone studying to become a therapist.
