Case Study Analysis: Adulthood Resources
Introduction
This case study outlines the story of David; a remarkable guy in
his later adulthood rotates around psychological challenges. As
a head of a family, he is faced with several challenges which he
tries to keep in check without fail. The whole case study and the
paper talk about the challenges which David meets in his daily
life. The problems cut across from family matters like divorce
to financial difficulties. The financial difficulties are so severe
that they affect the schooling of his children which he bore with
the first wife. They financial challenges also affect one of his
twins which he has borne with the second wife. One of the twins
has a learning disability. The paper is all about the development
theories and alternatives which are research based as they
explain the different challenges David goes through in the case
study. Also, other issues under scrutinization include the
potential effects of entity and cultural diversities on the
progress for current age and framework in the case study.
Discussion
Frankly speaking and being true, David faces a lot of challenges
in his life. The first challenge that we are introduced to in the
case study is that one of divorce. David is divorced from his
first wife who is 50 years, two years younger than him.
Together they had three children of between age 22 years and
16 years. The divorce has truly affected the three children
deeply. First of all, they are forced to live with a single parent,
their mother. This has brought a financial constrain to both the
mother and David (Berry, Poortinga, & Pandey, 2011). The
three children are at the verge of discontinuing with school due
to these financial problems. It is evident that their mother
struggles financial as she is just a preschool teacher whose little
income is used to support the family needs and the children’s
education. However, this does not go well.with David as he
feels that it is his responsibility to see that the children are
educated. This prompted him to pay for the tuition fees of his
children. The children here, of the divorced wife are faced with
a major developmental challenge of growing up without the
fatherly care and love from their dad (Nussbaum, 2000).
David together with her second wife and the twins live in
modest new house in the outskirts of the town .this can be
translated to that David is and has not been caring for the three
children of the divorced first wife. David’s concerns are more
on his second family than the first family. One of the twin boys
has a learning disability and it is serious to the extent that he
requires extra coaching and the support of both David and
sandy, the second wife. This is necessary for him to go on with
his schooling. This poses a great challenge to David to spend
more on the boy although sandy who is the second wife and the
mother of the twins is also working and earning a salary
(Broderick & Blewitt, 2010).
The condition of the one of the twins with the learning
disability makes it necessary for the parent to pay close care to
him. Since his father, David is always busy at work; the mother
is forced to take close care of the boy for a healthy
development. Due to this demand, the second wife is forced to
work part time and even as a matter fact she goes to the extent
of asking help from her widowed mother. Due to the condition
of the boy, David is forced to be more involved with the second
family more than the first family. This is a great challenge to
David as it is very demanding to have two demanding families.
The situation of the boy can also make David forget about the
first family easily (Kail & Cavanaugh, 2013).
The complexity of David’s work also is another big challenge to
both his families and himself as an individual. In the later days
after the hospital he works in joins forces with that other
company, his work requires more processing work that involves
very advanced computer technology. Due to this kind of work,
David is not available for his children. It makes him not to
spend quality time with his children (Kail & Cavanaugh, 2013).
By doing so, the wife is left with no option but to do the extra
work of providing the parental love and care to the children.
This is addition to her role of providing her motherly love and
care. This means that she has to put herself in the shoes of a
single parent, although the father is there. This can be
understood be have been brought by the fact that there is more
work in the later days at the work place. There has been an
increase in the paperwork they handle at the work and the time
to meet the deadline has been reduced. This leaves them with no
other option but to overwork themselves. The chances of David
becoming the supervisor are high as the current supervisor is
nearing his retirement. The impact of the forthcoming changes
in David’s workplace affects the relations between him and his
children.
Unlike before when David used to spend his weekends with his
wife and his children, nowadays he goes to the office on the
weekends to complete his work tasks so as to meet the
deadlines. He has no time anymore for his wife and his children.
This issue has started to put a constrain in his relationship with
his wife. As to him, he thinks that the paperwork at the office is
not as meaningful and important to him as he thought it was.
Lately, David has started experiencing back pains. He links this
pains to an accident he was involved in when he was young.
This pains have made him uncomfortable and have derived him
his sleep. This has made him to be taking prescribed medicine
to reduce them. In order to cool down, David has developed the
habit of taking beer once he gets home after work.
The appropriate theories that can well define and fit the
challenges being faced by David is the attachment theory. The
theory depicts that relationships are built by two people and that
interactions are important for human development. One of the
most important relationships for human development known to
exist is the relationship between a child and a parent. This
means that David has to find a way of bonding with his children
although his work is demanding. Without proper parental care,
the life of the children can be affected greatly both now and in
the future.
Both individual and cultural differences can have a great impact
on development issues. . Individual behaviour is influential the
behaviour or habit of a child (Kail & Cavanaugh, 2013). A
parent who is alcoholic is likely to have an influence over his
child’s life and end up becoming an alcoholic as well. A culture
which promotes good morals and proper upbringing of children
is likely to positively influence the youths to live a happy and
peaceful life. David is divorced and does not care about the
other first family. This is likely to influence the children to live
a similar life.
Lifespan theories use the main ontogenesis and the
chronological unfolding of human development. This theory
shows how people change in behaviour overtime. With increase
in age, human beings tend to change in behaviour as well.
Conclusion
To conclude with, David, the main character of the case study is
faced with many challenges. These challenges facing him make
him to some extend and at certain point in his life change his
behaviour. Not that he neglects the first family because he is
willing or he likes to, it is because of the circumstances facing
him. He also experiences financial problems because of
increased responsibilities. The chronological changes that
people undergo as they grow up are well elaborated in the
lifespan theory (Feldman, n.d.). Children develop as per the
influence around them which is either negatively or positively.

David is a 52-year-old White male who has spent the last 24
years in the human resource field. Most recently, he held the
position of supervisor in the billing department of a midsized
hospital in a rural state. He worked hard to obtain a master’s
degree while on the job at the hospital and always had high
aspirations for himself professionally. David has three children
from his first marriage, which ended in divorce. His first wife
Anne, who is 50, works as a preschool teacher in another part of
the state. Their children’s ages are 16, 20, and 22. Both older
children started to attend college but may have to drop out
temporarily due to financial difficulties. David feels that it is
his responsibility to support his children’s
education, and he has been paying as much of their tuition as he
can afford. David and his second wife
live in a new, but modest home in a community on the outskirts
of the state capital close to David’s job. David’s second wife,
Sandy, has twin 14-year-old boys. One of the twins has a
serious learning disability and needs extra tutoring and a great
deal of parent support to keep up academically. Sandy works
part time in a department store to be home to help her sons.
David and Sandy have a good relationship. Sandy’s widowed
mother lives nearby and helps with the twins on a regular basis.
Recently, the hospital system that employs David merged with a
large network of medical providers to cut costs and use
resources more efficiently. David’s job at the hospital is
becoming more complicated, requiring more and more
processing of information that involves advanced realignment.
David’s direct supervisor will be retiring soon, and David will
be a candidate for that position. He knows that this
promotion would mean more income, but it would also mean
even more work responsibility. David now spends his weekends
going to the office to catch up on tasks. He is not as available
as he once was to spend time with his children, and this
has caused some problems in his relationship with his wife. He
is
starting to feel that all the paperwork his job requires is not
meaningful in ways that are important to him.
David has recently begun to suffer from significant pain in his
lower back that he believes might be related to a traffic accident
that happened when he was younger. The pain keeps him from
sleeping well and has contributed to his feeling more “on edge”
during the day. David’s physician prescribes two medications to
help him sleep better and to reduce anxiety. David has started to
drink a few beers when he comes home at night to “calm
himself down” as well. The sleep medication he has been taking
helps him fall asleep, but now he wakes up at 3:00 am with his
mind racing. He’s recently learned that his 16-year-old son has
been cutting classes and failing tests. His ex-wife, who has
custody of their teenage son, has been pressuring him to help
her with this problem situation.

Running Head CASE STUDY ANALYSIS ADULTHOOD
RESOURCESCASE S.docx

  • 1. Running Head: CASE STUDY ANALYSIS: ADULTHOOD RESOURCES CASE STUDY ANALYSIS: ADULTHOOD RESOURCES · case study analysis: adulthood resources Name of student: Instructors name: Course title: Date of submission: · · · · · · · · · Case Study Analysis: Adulthood Resources Introduction This case study outlines the story of David; a remarkable guy in his later adulthood rotates around psychological challenges. As a head of a family, he is faced with several challenges which he tries to keep in check without fail. The whole case study and the paper talk about the challenges which David meets in his daily life. The problems cut across from family matters like divorce to financial difficulties. The financial difficulties are so severe that they affect the schooling of his children which he bore with the first wife. They financial challenges also affect one of his
  • 2. twins which he has borne with the second wife. One of the twins has a learning disability. The paper is all about the development theories and alternatives which are research based as they explain the different challenges David goes through in the case study. Also, other issues under scrutinization include the potential effects of entity and cultural diversities on the progress for current age and framework in the case study. Discussion Frankly speaking and being true, David faces a lot of challenges in his life. The first challenge that we are introduced to in the case study is that one of divorce. David is divorced from his first wife who is 50 years, two years younger than him. Together they had three children of between age 22 years and 16 years. The divorce has truly affected the three children deeply. First of all, they are forced to live with a single parent, their mother. This has brought a financial constrain to both the mother and David (Berry, Poortinga, & Pandey, 2011). The three children are at the verge of discontinuing with school due to these financial problems. It is evident that their mother struggles financial as she is just a preschool teacher whose little income is used to support the family needs and the children’s education. However, this does not go well.with David as he feels that it is his responsibility to see that the children are educated. This prompted him to pay for the tuition fees of his children. The children here, of the divorced wife are faced with a major developmental challenge of growing up without the fatherly care and love from their dad (Nussbaum, 2000). David together with her second wife and the twins live in modest new house in the outskirts of the town .this can be translated to that David is and has not been caring for the three children of the divorced first wife. David’s concerns are more on his second family than the first family. One of the twin boys has a learning disability and it is serious to the extent that he requires extra coaching and the support of both David and sandy, the second wife. This is necessary for him to go on with his schooling. This poses a great challenge to David to spend
  • 3. more on the boy although sandy who is the second wife and the mother of the twins is also working and earning a salary (Broderick & Blewitt, 2010). The condition of the one of the twins with the learning disability makes it necessary for the parent to pay close care to him. Since his father, David is always busy at work; the mother is forced to take close care of the boy for a healthy development. Due to this demand, the second wife is forced to work part time and even as a matter fact she goes to the extent of asking help from her widowed mother. Due to the condition of the boy, David is forced to be more involved with the second family more than the first family. This is a great challenge to David as it is very demanding to have two demanding families. The situation of the boy can also make David forget about the first family easily (Kail & Cavanaugh, 2013). The complexity of David’s work also is another big challenge to both his families and himself as an individual. In the later days after the hospital he works in joins forces with that other company, his work requires more processing work that involves very advanced computer technology. Due to this kind of work, David is not available for his children. It makes him not to spend quality time with his children (Kail & Cavanaugh, 2013). By doing so, the wife is left with no option but to do the extra work of providing the parental love and care to the children. This is addition to her role of providing her motherly love and care. This means that she has to put herself in the shoes of a single parent, although the father is there. This can be understood be have been brought by the fact that there is more work in the later days at the work place. There has been an increase in the paperwork they handle at the work and the time to meet the deadline has been reduced. This leaves them with no other option but to overwork themselves. The chances of David becoming the supervisor are high as the current supervisor is nearing his retirement. The impact of the forthcoming changes in David’s workplace affects the relations between him and his children.
  • 4. Unlike before when David used to spend his weekends with his wife and his children, nowadays he goes to the office on the weekends to complete his work tasks so as to meet the deadlines. He has no time anymore for his wife and his children. This issue has started to put a constrain in his relationship with his wife. As to him, he thinks that the paperwork at the office is not as meaningful and important to him as he thought it was. Lately, David has started experiencing back pains. He links this pains to an accident he was involved in when he was young. This pains have made him uncomfortable and have derived him his sleep. This has made him to be taking prescribed medicine to reduce them. In order to cool down, David has developed the habit of taking beer once he gets home after work. The appropriate theories that can well define and fit the challenges being faced by David is the attachment theory. The theory depicts that relationships are built by two people and that interactions are important for human development. One of the most important relationships for human development known to exist is the relationship between a child and a parent. This means that David has to find a way of bonding with his children although his work is demanding. Without proper parental care, the life of the children can be affected greatly both now and in the future. Both individual and cultural differences can have a great impact on development issues. . Individual behaviour is influential the behaviour or habit of a child (Kail & Cavanaugh, 2013). A parent who is alcoholic is likely to have an influence over his child’s life and end up becoming an alcoholic as well. A culture which promotes good morals and proper upbringing of children is likely to positively influence the youths to live a happy and peaceful life. David is divorced and does not care about the other first family. This is likely to influence the children to live a similar life. Lifespan theories use the main ontogenesis and the chronological unfolding of human development. This theory shows how people change in behaviour overtime. With increase
  • 5. in age, human beings tend to change in behaviour as well. Conclusion To conclude with, David, the main character of the case study is faced with many challenges. These challenges facing him make him to some extend and at certain point in his life change his behaviour. Not that he neglects the first family because he is willing or he likes to, it is because of the circumstances facing him. He also experiences financial problems because of increased responsibilities. The chronological changes that people undergo as they grow up are well elaborated in the lifespan theory (Feldman, n.d.). Children develop as per the influence around them which is either negatively or positively. References Feldman, R. Life span development (1st ed.). Kail, R. & Cavanaugh, J. (2013).

  • 7. Running Head: CASE STUDY ANALYSIS: ADULTHOOD?RESOURCES case study analysis: adulthood?resources Name of student: Instructors name: Course title: Date of submission: David is a 52-year-old White male who has spent the last 24 years in the human resource field. Most recently, he held the position of supervisor in the billing department of a midsized hospital in a rural state. He worked hard to obtain a master’s degree while on the job at the hospital and always had high
  • 8. aspirations for himself professionally. David has three children from his first marriage, which ended in divorce. His first wife Anne, who is 50, works as a preschool teacher in another part of the state. Their children’s ages are 16, 20, and 22. Both older children started to attend college but may have to drop out temporarily due to financial difficulties. David feels that it is his responsibility to support his children’s education, and he has been paying as much of their tuition as he can afford. David and his second wife live in a new, but modest home in a community on the outskirts of the state capital close to David’s job. David’s second wife, Sandy, has twin 14-year-old boys. One of the twins has a serious learning disability and needs extra tutoring and a great deal of parent support to keep up academically. Sandy works part time in a department store to be home to help her sons. David and Sandy have a good relationship. Sandy’s widowed mother lives nearby and helps with the twins on a regular basis. Recently, the hospital system that employs David merged with a large network of medical providers to cut costs and use resources more efficiently. David’s job at the hospital is becoming more complicated, requiring more and more processing of information that involves advanced realignment. David’s direct supervisor will be retiring soon, and David will be a candidate for that position. He knows that this promotion would mean more income, but it would also mean even more work responsibility. David now spends his weekends going to the office to catch up on tasks. He is not as available as he once was to spend time with his children, and this has caused some problems in his relationship with his wife. He is starting to feel that all the paperwork his job requires is not meaningful in ways that are important to him. David has recently begun to suffer from significant pain in his lower back that he believes might be related to a traffic accident that happened when he was younger. The pain keeps him from sleeping well and has contributed to his feeling more “on edge”
  • 9. during the day. David’s physician prescribes two medications to help him sleep better and to reduce anxiety. David has started to drink a few beers when he comes home at night to “calm himself down” as well. The sleep medication he has been taking helps him fall asleep, but now he wakes up at 3:00 am with his mind racing. He’s recently learned that his 16-year-old son has been cutting classes and failing tests. His ex-wife, who has custody of their teenage son, has been pressuring him to help her with this problem situation. Discussion Questions 1. Identify the risks and protective factors that are present in David’s life story. What information, not presented here, would be helpful to know if you were to make a more comprehensive list of risks and protections? 2. How do you conceptualize David’s situation?
