Step 1: Brief Introduction

This case presentation revolves around a 14-year-old boy named John, who recently underwent a significant life change after his parent's divorce in May 2023. This life-altering event has triggered a series of behavioral issues in John, which have left his mother struggling to understand and manage his emotional distress and challenging behavior. In this comprehensive case presentation, we will delve into the assessment of John's psychological, cultural and spiritual factors, identify additional needs and explore his and his family's strengths. Furthermore, we will apply several psychological theories to understand John's situation better and outline the evidence-based interventions to address his concerns. Finally, we will discuss the intervention's response, the outcome and alignment with evidence-based practices, concluding with reflections on the social worker's ability to work with clients in complex family dynamics.
