HUMAN DEVELOPMENT: APPLICATION OF THEORY
Overview
Imagine that you are a caseworker or any other psychology
professional gathering information from your client (Brenda or
Emilio). Based on the information presented, consider the
developmental challenges the person is facing.
· Then, identify at least two developmental theories
(attachment, cognitive development, moral development,
psychosocial development, et cetera), and apply the theories to
understand the person in the scenario.
· While it is impossible to fully understand the person in the
scenario based on the limited information provided, some
developmental theories can provide context and offer a possible
framework for understanding the person's attitudes and
behaviors.Instructions
Using the scenario and theories you selected, addressing the
following:
· Give a brief overview of the chosen scenario in your own
words.
· Describe the stage or stages of each theory that are most
applicable to the current phase of life of the person discussed in
the case study. Describe in some detail the stage of life
according to the theory. (For example, in Erikson's psychosocial
development theory a four-year-old child is in the stage of
"initiative versus guilt.")
· Explain how the theory helps one to understand their
development and situation.
· Search the library for at least two scholarly (peer-reviewed)
articles that provide research about the concerns faced by the
person in the chosen case study. You may also use one of the
supplied articles.
· Describe how the research from the articles applies to the
person in the scenario you selected.
· Apply the theories to describe how they help us to better
understand this particular person in this phase of life based on
the concerns and their impact on the person's well-being.
Case Study 2
Brenda is 43 years old and wants to make some life changes.
She is unhappy with her career in marketing and with her
relationship status. She was divorced five years ago from
Robert, whom she met during her senior year of college. They
had delayed marriage until after Robert finished medical school,
and were married when Brenda was 27. They had discussed
having children, but Robert never felt that the time was right.
Even though Brenda feels alone, she is not comfortable dating.
She would like to go back to school, but is not sure what career
she is interested in. Plus, she has been spending a great deal of
time taking care of her aging mother, with whom she has had a
strained relationship over the years.
Lately, she has been thinking something is wrong with her. The
kind of identity issues she is facing seem more typical of a
teenager, not a 43-year-old woman. She is beginning to
withdraw and to feel lonely. She feels like she has failed
compared to acquaintances who are married, have children, and
seem to be enjoying their careers.
Case Study 1
Emilio is an 18-year-old senior in high school. It is the end of
the school year, and after feeling excited to graduate most of
this past year, lately he is not sure he is ready to leave high
school. He has been feeling more irritable than usual and has
been especially grouchy with his family. Everything his parents
tell him annoys him.
He misses his girlfriend, who recently broke up with him. He is
supposed to be leaving for college in August, but he is feeling
nervous about it. Before, he was convinced he wanted to go into
engineering, but now he is not so sure. He feels pressure to go
to college, but right now all he wants to do is stay in the area
and get a job and an apartment so he can hang out with his
friends who are not going away to college.
Sometimes he is so frustrated he feels the urge to break things.
A few days ago when no one else was home, he punched the
doorframe of his bedroom.
