Question

Scenario: 

Mandy is a newborn baby girl. She has been referred to you, the hospital social worker, because her mother is suffering from postpartum depression. Although you will be working directly with the mother, realizing that Mandy is your client, what is the problem and what solution and intervention do you recommend (justified by Erikson’s theory)?

  1. Identify the Erikson stage (based on age—e.g. “Trust vs. Mistrust”).
  2. Define stage “terms” (e.g., what does Erikson mean by “Trust” by “Mistrust”?)
  3. What is important at that stage? (This suggests what you should ask the client about)
