Imagine you are an agency director or clinical supervisor. You are supervising social work
practitioners in best practice for biopsychosocialspiritual assessments. To demonstrate
your ability to supervise, youmust first demonstrate your ability to perform a
comprehensive assessment. For this assignment, youwill assess the following four clients:
● Client 1: Adolescent of Syrian descent, female, living in rural Pennsylvania,
presenting with depression.
● Client 2: Latinomale, age 75, living in Dallas, Texas, presenting with dementia.
● Client 3: Same-sex couple in relationship five years, living in Bangor, Maine,
considering adoption.
● Client 4: Couple in blended family with her two children (ages 2 and 4) and his
three children (ages 10, 13, and 16) living in suburban, Charleston, South
Carolina, dealing with substance abuse by the 16-year-old.
In a 6 page paper, complete the following:
● Assess any potential ethical considerations in applying the
biopsychosocialspiritual assessment to a variety of clients and note diversity
attributes of each client. Identify any problems.
● Assess their potential needs and the interventions youwill choose to address
the needs. Evaluate and justify for each case the impact of the DSM-V diagnosis
on your choice of intervention. The information supplied for each client is
minimal; in your professional practice, youwould begin similarly, with very
limited information when taking on a new client.
● Explain how youwill challenge your supervisees to consider the four cases by
modeling. Finally, discuss what youmight caution the supervisees about the
DSM-Vwhen a diagnosis is needed for these four clients.
