Caitlin Guevara Professor Kohn SOW 3740 October 25, 2023 Case Study 2: The Sanchez Family 1. Who is/are the primary client(s) and how did you make that decision? Make a case for why you identified one or more of the family members as the “client.” o The primary clients are Mr. Sanchez, Mrs. Sanchez, Tony, and Maria. I identified these family members as clients because they are all experiencing the loss of Tony and Maria’s parents. When Mr. Sanchez has a stroke, he then becomes the primary client, and the rest of the family is also affected and tries to cope in their own ways. 2. Consider the importance of cultural factors. Although we do not know what country the Sanchez family comes from or how long they have been in the United States, what possible impact of traditional Latino values might exist related to the Sanchez family? o Many Latino traditional beliefs revolve around the importance of family, and doing whatever it takes to take care of one another without seeking outside help. The possible impact of traditional Latino values to the Sanchez family are negative. Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez may want to keep their situation private to avoid judgement from others. But in doing so, it prevents them from getting the help they need as everyone in the family tries to adjust to their lives now and what it’ll look like moving forward. 3. What role changes were experienced by Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez. Identify and explain the role changes, at what time the roles changed, and why did they change.

o The role changes that Mr. And Mrs. Sanchez experienced were becoming parents/caretakers again. The couple went from being parents to their daughter and other children, to grandparents, then back to parents again when their daughter and her husband died. Their roles changed because the Sanchez’s two other children were not able to take on parenting responsibilities. 4. Identify the losses this family experienced and is dealing with currently. How would developmental stages, Rando’s phases of loss, and being in crisis may impact the family? o The losses that the family is experiencing and dealing with are nonfinite and ambiguous. The developmental stages of everyone will determine how they grieve these losses and how well they adjust to their new lifestyles. With Tony being 13 and Maria being 10, their development is on different stages, and they may have different understandings of death, and their grieving processes will look different. Due to Mr. Sanchez’s stroke, the family may not be able to fully go through Rando’s phases of loss, because they are now experiencing another event that anticipates another loss. 5. Examine the potential causes of Tony’s acting out. Explain what you believe to be the reasons why Tony may have started having difficulty at school and possibly other areas of his life. o The potential causes of Tony’s acting out are the death of his parents and his grieving process, adjusting to life with his grandparents as his caretakers, and now his grandfather’s stroke. I believe Tony may have started having difficulty at school and other areas of his life because of the adjustments he now must make. It will be hard for him to adjust to life without his parents at such an early age, and his grandfather’s

stroke may make him afraid of losing another person in his family that is taking care of him and his sister. 6. What effect of taking on a parental role and Mr. Sanchez’s illness might have on the couple’s relationship? o The effect of taking on a parental role and Mr. Sanchez’s illness may put a strain on the couple’s relationship. Mrs. Sanchez may be afraid of losing her husband, which in turn can add to the stress and changes in character that she’s already experiencing due to the loss of her daughter. Based on how Mr. Sanchez recovers and whether he’ll be able to be fully independent after the stroke, Mrs. Sanchez may have to become his caretaker as well, which can strain their relationship further and cause her to distance herself from him, especially if she starts to get worn out from the stress and multiple losses.
