Original Discussion Board Post: Describe the four different attachment styles. How does our attachment style affect us throughout our lives? Choose a psychosocial dimension (relationship, stress, and coping) and describe how that dimension might impact a client and their behavior. Give specific examples to clearly show the effect of the psychosocial dimension. POST #1 Alexis The five basic concepts of the life course perspective are the following: Cohorts, transitions, trajectories, life events and turning points (Hutchison,2019). A Cohort simply means the time and place someone is born in. In a cohort there are a group of individuals that were born at a particular time under similar circumstances. The second concept of transition is when the said individual's social role changes in life. A family tends to go under stress when they face a transitional phase in their life (Hutchison,2019). Next is the trajectories which is a long term pattern that is built from the different transitions that a person or family faces, this is also known as family resilience (Hutchison,2019). Next is the timeline or life events that the person or family faces. These are all the events that trajectories are based off of and are seen as very significant. Lastly, is the turning point which happens when an individual faces a significant change in one's life that alters the trajectory(Hutchison,2019). This can be positive or negative. In the field of social work having an understanding of this theory is imperative to merging the micro and macro worlds of our clients. The life course perspective provides further clarity to a client's thought process by taking their environment and historical events and applying it to their behavior. When looking specifically at blended families one might try to find similarities in historical events in order to find a common ground and easier transition.

I will explain the importance of these concepts in the perspective of a social worker as well as how I will use these concepts in my field. The five concepts of the life course perspective are cohort, transition, trajectory, life event, and turning point. A cohort is a group of individuals who are in the same age group and experience social changes in the same sequence and culture. An examples of cohort groups are Baby Boomers, Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha. The size and experiences of the cohort can “affect opportunities for education, work, and family life” (Hutchison, 2019). This is important as a social worker as challenges like unemployment and inflation could lead to individuals avoiding getting married or putting off having children. This could lead to relationship challenges or insecurities that could lead to stress and depression. According to (Hutchison, 2019) transitions are a clear change in roles that have a clear break from prior roles. This is important as a social worker as social workers often provide counselling to individuals who are facing life’s transitions such as entering puberty, starting school, getting a first job, leaving school, getting married, and getting divorced. Trajectories are stable patterns of events that are made up of many transitions and develop over time. This is important for social workers to be aware of to help coach individuals with looking at the bigger picture and making smaller goals to help fulfill transitions to put their life toward the right trajectory. Life events are occurrences that happen in an individual’s life that, “produce serious and long-lasting effects” (Hutchison, 2019). Life events that can happen can be negative or positive. Some life events that happen are marriage, being fired, divorce, loss of a loved one, and pregnancy. This is important for social workers who are assisting individuals through grief and loss, relationship/ marriage counseling, and other types of therapies. Turning points occur when a life event creates a change in the life course trajectory. This is important for social workers to know because this could be a change such as making the decision to get sober for an individual that uses substances or making the decision to keep a baby and become a parent for a teenager. I will utilize these concepts in my field of study to help individuals see the bigger picture and support them with working toward their goals. Hutchison, E. D. (2019).

The Life course developmental perspective on families is a way to view families over time through multiple variables, including cohorts, transitions, trajectories, life events, and turning points (Hutchision, 2019, p. 207). A cohort refers to individuals born around the same period who experience social changes or events at the same development age. Transitions refer to the changing of roles, rules, and boundaries over time. Trajectories refer to the long-term impacts of different transitions that create stability or change. Life events are significant abrupt changes that have a long-lasting impact. Lastly, turning points are events that change or shift the trajectory of one’s life. As a social worker, using the Life Course Perspective can be useful in understanding how individuals within families are impacted differently by historical timing, cultural impacts, development age, positive/negative life events and changing relational dynamics. A clinician may use this perspective in Child and Family Services when working with a family impacted by substance use disorder. Perhaps a single mother of three is struggling with addiction. A clinician could look at the mother’s family dynamics, parental/sibling support, traumas in her own life along with multigenerational impacts on her own family. Perhaps mom had relative stability until her oldest child was a teen and didn’t start using until her third child was a toddler. Mom’s SUD would impact each child differently based on developmental age and years of stability/instability the children experienced. Roles may change, as the older child may care for the younger children, or perhaps the children are removed from the home for a period and reunified, this would likely impact roles and dynamics. One would also want to consider the transitions and life events that changed the trajectory of this family. It is also helpful in understanding how future stress or transitions may impact this family unit. Hutchison, E. D. (2019).

Post 4 What, if any, historical event or events had an impact on your cohort? In your family of origin, what were the norms about when young adults should leave the parental home, complete formal education, establish a committed romantic relationship, or become a parent?
