Theory Into Practice: Four Social Work Case Studies
In this course, you select one of the following four case studies and use it throughout
the entire course. By doing this, you will have the opportunity to see how different
theories guide your view of a client and that client’s presenting problem. Each time you
return to the same case, you use a different theory, and your perspective of the problem
changes—which then changes how you ask assessment questions and how you
intervene.
These case studies are based on the video- and web-based case studies you encounter
in the MSW program.

Presenting Problem: Tiffani has a history of running away. She has been arrested on
three occasions for prostitution in the last 2 years. Tiffani has recently been court
ordered to reside in a group home with counseling. She has a continued desire to be
reunited with her pimp, Donald. After 3 months at Teens First, Tiffani said that she
had a strong desire to see her sister and her mother. She had not seen either of
them in over 2 years and missed them very much. Tiffani is confused about the path
to follow. She is not sure if she wants to return to her family and sibling or go back to
Donald.
Family Dynamics: Tiffani indicates that her family worked well together until 8 years
ago. She reports that around the age of 8, she remembered being awakened by
music and laughter in the early hours of the morning. When she went downstairs to
investigate, she saw her parents and her Uncle Nate passing a pipe back and forth
between them. She remembered asking them what they were doing and her mother
saying, “adult things” and putting her back in bed. Tiffani remembers this happening
on several occasions. Tiffani also recalls significant changes in the home's
appearance. The home, which was never fancy, was always neat and tidy. During
this time, however, dust would gather around the house, dishes would pile up in the
sink, dirt would remain on the floor, and clothes would go for long periods of time
without being washed. Tiffani began cleaning her own clothes and making meals for
herself and her sister. Often there was not enough food to feed everyone, and Tiffani
and her sister would go to bed hungry. Tiffani believed she was responsible for
helping her mom so that her mom did not get so overwhelmed. She thought that if
she took care of the home and her sister, maybe that would help mom return to the
person she was before.
Sometimes Tiffani and her sister would come downstairs in the morning to find empty
beer cans and liquor bottles on the kitchen table along with a crack pipe. Her parents
would be in the bedroom, and Tiffani and her sister would leave the house and go to
school by themselves. The music and noise downstairs continued for the next 6
years, which escalated to screams and shouting and sounds of people fighting.
Tiffani remembers her mom one morning yelling at her dad to “get up and go to
work.” Tiffani and Diana saw their ...

This book is dedicated to my parents who made the utmost sacrifice and supported me in my journey to the United States at the age of 15. Without my two loving parents I would not be where I am today; a tenured High School History Teacher working in the most impoverished neighborhood in New York City, the South Bronx, where I help students that dropped out of high school achieve their goal and receive a high school diploma. The reason that I feel like I am in the right place for my job is because just like these "lost" students, I was going through a tough transition myself as I left my impoverished 3rd world country and decided to embark on a journey by myself across the ocean for a better opportunity. The toughest students are sometimes the best ones because they either have a goal in mind and they want to succeed, or they are not ready and are very honest with themselves and their teacher and decided that education is not in their cards at that moment of time. I feel that these students are marginalized from society because of their socioeconomic status and it is important that they realize that there is light at the end of tunnel, just like for me my parents decided to leave their pretty cushy jobs to try and support me and my brother in the United States. That is why I decided to publish this book, to show that in each of one there is hope for a better future and we must take in account that life will not always be easy and will throw unexpected moments our way.

living at a young age as a club dancer.
The older brother –Tony does not
approve to his father’s decision and the
youngest sibling –Juanito seems
become submissive and no longer argue

17. MIDDLE
COMPLICATION
When Rita noticed Juanito and said to
him that he must get ready because they are
getting late in going to work. Then she
entered the house to dressed up. Then
Elana, friend of Rita who also dance at the
salon goes over to Juanito and said that he
must move and get raedy but Juanito didn’t
even bother to answer Elana. Elena still keep
on asking Juanito if he will accompany them
and Juanito shouted “No!”. Then Elena
started rising her voice explaining and make
him to understand that if he will not go with
them their Mother will worry much about
Rita but still Juanito refused so madly.
18. CRISIS
And there after Juanito called Elena a harlot because of his
anger, Rita was so mad to Juanito and asking him why he called
Elena that way but instead of asking sorry to his sister Rita, he
burst out that it was true! Because he heard the young men talk
about her and they always talk about her. But Rita disapproved
and told Juanito a liar. Rita shakes him violently. Her nails
digging into his shoulder and because Juanito get hurt Juanito
said in pain “let me go or I'll tell you about the Chinese!”. Rita
shakes him with fury and said “what Chinese are you talking
about?”. Juanito screams “ARAY! YOU WENT WITH HIM LAST
NIGHT! I FOLLOWED YOU INTO A ROOM! YOU WERE GONE IN A
LONG TIME!” then Rita shouted him “Liar! Liar! Liar!”
19. Rita was so surprised and
shocked about what she heard
from Juanito. At the height of her
anger she slaps him several times
on the face and pushes him to the
ground. And Rita is about to kick
him –were it not for Tony
who, with his Father, had watched
the whole scene in silence from
the window. He steps forward
and stops her in time. Juanito
picks himself up and rushes down
the street crying.

wanted to go to salon even without
Juanito but their father tried to stop Rita

father but his father suddenly hits him
hard on the face then Tony falls to the
ground and he quickly stands up dazed
with blood on his lips.

but Tony run away. Then their Mother saw her
daughter Rita and Nenita dressed up and asked her
husband where they will go and Mang Tomas said
that they will go at the salon. . Then their Mother
started crying because she don’t want her baby
daughter –Nenita to dance at the salon but his
