Summary of Case Study
In my case, I am dealing with a client from Sumter, SC with a
history of trauma. 3 months ago, the client had a very bad
accident but narrowly survived the ordeal. However, the
situation has affected his other areas of life including his
studies and how he associates himself with other people. My
client is a 20-year-old boy who is still in high school. Three
months ago, I was called by his parents and requested to assist
the client gain normalcy in his life and improve his relationship
and the way he associates with other people in the society.

10. My Intervention Method
To help the client, I requested the client to be undertaken
through the Cognitive Behavior Therapy. In this therapy, I
would subject the client through two main methods: behavior
therapy and physical exercises. The behavior therapy will help
the client to overcome his negative feelings while the physical
exercise will help the client to have a sense of relaxation in his
mind. In behavior therapy, the client will be subjected in a
three-week period of intervention plan. During the plan, the
client would be subjected through various accident simulation
plans. This will help the client to get used to the accidents and
change his attitude and feelings. I believe that this method will
also help him to change his behavior and attitude towards other
members of the society. Moreover, I will also ensure that the
client undertakes physical exercises such as running and hitting
the gym every morning and evening. This will help him to have
a sense of relaxation in his mind. This intervention will take a
maximum period of 5 weeks.
The Barriers to this intervention Method
Although the Cognitive Behavior therapy is effective, the
attitude of the client also matters. If my client develops a
negative attitude towards the CBT intervention methods that I
have selected, it would be very difficult for him to heal and
recover from his trauma. The CBT treatment method requires a
high level of endurance. However, I believe that my client will
co-operate and will recover from his trauma.
Challenges
The cognitive behavior therapy method requires the social
worker care to evaluate the history of the patient. This requires
an in-depth communication with the client to analyze the
challenges they may have gone through. In terms of ethics,
getting personal or private information from the clients may be
directly infringing on their rights. For clients who do not like to
share information, forcing them to narrate their private
information will be directly infringing on their freedom of
expression. In this case, I will not force the client to give me

11. full details, but I will request him to narrate all the ordeals.
This will help me to adequately help him overcome his
challenge.
Strengths of this intervention Method
Cognitive behavior therapy is an excellent method that helps
clients to get rid of their negative feelings and gain normalcy. It
helps the social care workers to understand all the challenges
that their clients undergo and develop intervention methods that
help them to live in peace.

Summary of the Case Study
My Client is called John Woods from California. He is a
middle-aged man suffering from mild Schizophrenia. Initial

13. Samples indicate that he inherited the disease from his parents.
However, upon further investigations, it was discovered that his
parents were chain smokers and this might have resulted in his
current situation. Currently, John suffers from communication
problems, and mood swings and cannot maintain personal
hygiene. The doctors noted that John Woods can still recover
since his condition is still in its early stage. They recommended
the parents hire a social care worker to help John overcome his
mild Schizophrenia condition. Two days ago, I was hired for
this job.
My Intervention Method
For my intervention method, I will use the General Aggression
Therapy model (GAM). It is a method that evaluates behavior
management while also helping clients set their goals and
objectives (Dunne et al., 2019). Moreover, this model also
evaluates the client’s knowledge structures. Knowledge
structures evaluate a client’s past experiences to evaluate
negative situations that a client may have been subjected to in
the past. This helps social care workers identify the root cause
of the client’s problems to develop a proper intervention plan
(Gilbert et al., 2017). For my client, there are various stages of
the GAM steps that he would be subjected to. First, I the client
will complete the behavior management cycle.
During this stage, I will teach the client how to manage his
emotions and how to get along with close people. This period
will take a maximum period of three weeks. After the stage is
over, I hope the client will be able to evaluate good and bad
thoughts and he will have also learned how to embrace positive
ideas. Secondly, I will subject the client to mental relaxation
techniques. This will involve short physical exercises that will
help him forget about his current problems. In the GAM model,
Allen et al. (2018) state that the focus is on making the client
independent. After the therapy session is over, clients must
know how to manage their mental health to avoid getting back
into their former conditions. John Woods would be running for
20 minutes every morning and evening for two weeks.

14. Furthermore, I will teach him mindful meditation which is also
part of the GAM therapy model.
Additionally, I will also help John Woods to set goals and
objectives in his life. I will purchase a diary and fill in all the
activities that John Woods will be completed daily and weekly.
For example, since John Woods has communication challenges,
he will need to complete various grammar and pronunciation
challenges for two weeks. As his tutor, I will indicate the
progress in his journal and prepare a report of when he can
proceed to the next grammar challenge. After three to five
weeks, John would have improved his communication. The
General Aggression Model (GAM) is among the best therapy
models that help clients to overcome their past and present
challenges. By the end of this therapy session, their condition of
John would have improved.
Barriers General Aggression Model
Although the GAM model is among the best therapy models, it
has a few limitations. First, this method takes a period and it is
also among the most costly therapy models (Allen et al., 2018).
Therefore, it is not effective for clients who require short-term
intervention methods. Moreover, it also involves lots of
rigorous activities and mental endurance techniques like
meditation. Its goal is to help clients completely overcome their
mental health challenges. This may not be effective for all
clients. As a social care worker, I have interacted with clients
with negative attitudes and ideas. Gilbert et al. (2017) state that
this method might not be effective for clients who are impatient,
rude, and with a negative attitude.
Challenges to using GAM Model
The GAM model relies on the information provided by the
client regarding their past challenges and experiences. In my
experience as a social care worker, I have come across
numerous clients who were not willing to divulge information,
communicate or share their past experiences. For such clients, it
may become almost impossible to rely on the GAM model. This
model requires open-minded clients who are willing to learn and

15. overcome their current problems. However, John Woods is a
good client and so far, he has shared some of the challenges that
he has experienced in the past. Secondly, Dunne et al. (2019)
note that the GAM model requires cooperative clients. This
model has the Goal-setting phase in which clients fill in the
diary regarding the activities they completed and what they
hope to achieve. In most cases, this phase requires the client to
take responsibility for fill-in in the diary or forms for a final
report by the social care worker. Many times, I have
encountered clients with a no-care attitude. The majority of
these clients often fail to fill in their forms or diaries. In such
cases, we always get challenges as social care workers or are
even forced to fill the diaries on behalf of the clients. However,
according to the GAM ideas, clients should fill out their forms
to measure their growth or progress.
Strengths of the GAM model
The behavior management phase of the GAM model helps the
clients to overcome their past and present problems. With other
therapy models, the challenges that clients experienced in the
past are always ignored. Hence, most clients do not always fully
recover from their mental health problems. However, the GAM
model helps clients to manage their feelings and emotions by
evaluating how they feel, the environment they grew up in and
the challenges they experienced in the past. This helps the
social care workers identify the root cause of the clients'
problems to help them recover from their mental health
problems. Secondly, the GAM model also trains the clients to
become independent, something not offered by other therapy
models. The clients are expected to continue with the relaxation
techniques and exercises even after they have recovered from
their conditions. The GAM model helps the clients to recover
both mentally and physically and helps to prevent any
recurrence of their mental health challenges. On the other hand,
Gilbert et al. (2017) state that the GAM model also helps the
client to set goals and objectives even after the recovery
sessions. During the treatment sessions, clients are always

16. required to fill out their diaries including what they achieved
and also their goals and objectives. Even after they recover, the
clients would still be able to continue setting their daily goals
and objectives and become better in life. To conclude, the GAM
model is among the best therapy models in the modern era.
Through the effective treatment plan highlighted in this model,
John Woods would be able to recover from his mental health
challenge and lead a normal life.
