Abdel a 40-year-old male refugee with a bachelor’s degree in
theology spent 12 years living in a refugee camp in an African
nation (Plummer & Makris, 2014). He was first considered a
refugee by a United Nations six months after arriving at the
camp but was forced to wait 12 years before his arrangements
were finalized to come to the United States (Plummer & Makris,
2014). During his time in the camp, he lost all contact with
family and friends and was informed that his wife had remarried
and had other children by her new husband (Plummer &
Makris, 2014). Abdel was heartbroken by this news but wanted
his wife to be happy with her new life because she believed him
to be deceased, during his time in camp both of Abdel parents

passed away adding to his depression (Plummer & Makris,
2014).
Before making it to the refugee camp Abdel was a prisoner who
was beaten and deprived of food, water and basic sanitary
necessities (Plummer & Makris, 2014). These conditions have
caused him to have poor dental health and chronic health
problems (Plummer & Makris, 2014) Because of his refugee
status, Abdel qualifies for some special services offered by the
United States government (Plummer & Makris, 2014). Close to
1 million refugees from around the world have entered the
United States, fleeing repression, war, terrorism, and disease
the government understands that many refugees and immigrants
will appear in the offices of health care professionals with
symptoms that may be related either directly or indirectly to
torture both physical and psychological torture may result in
long-term sequelae (Weinstein, Dansky & Iacopino, 1996).
Abdel enrolled in a program to get job training, continuous
education information and help with bonding with his new
community (Plummer & Makris, 2014). When Abdel first
started the program the work could since that Abdel was angry
with how his life had changed over the years, from the
imprisonment, losing his family and now having to rely on the
support of a strange new government (Plummer & Makris,
2014).
For the issues that Abdel is facing, I chose to use the Novaco
Anger Scale and Provocation Inventory (NAS-PI. This test was
designed to assess anger as a problem of psychological
functioning and physical health and to assess therapeutic change
(Novaco, 2003). Because of the physical torture that Abdel
endured then the mental hardships, he faced afterward, this test,
in my opinion, would be the best to address his anger problems
then come up with an intervention needed to help address the
issues he is facing. The NAS-PI can be recommended as a
convenient self-report assessment of anger and its principal
dimensions to be used in community, clinical, and forensic
settings, both as a snapshot index of current anger levels and as

a barometer of progress and change (Novaco, 2003 The test is a
two part self-reporting questionnaire, which contains 60 Novaco
Anger Scale (NAS) questions and 25 Provocation Inventory (PI)
questions. The NAS gives five scores that cover the cognitive,
behavior, arousal and anger regulation (Novaco, 2013). The PI
focuses on the kind of situations that lead to anger in five areas;
disrespectful treatment, unfairness, frustration, annoying traits
of others and irritation to produce the PI score (Novaco, 2013).
The construct validity of the NAS was assessed by obtaining its
correlations with the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory, the
STAXI Trait Anger Scale, and two other anger scales,
producing coefficients ranging from .69 to .84 in a sample of
141 in patients (Novaco, 2013). Data from inpatients in a high-
security forensic unit in Scotland showed a similar range of
intercorrelations of the NAS-PI with other anger measures, but
much lower correlations with the Beck Depression Inventory,
attesting to the NAS-PI's discriminant validity (Novaco, 2013).
The test-retest reliability, parallel-form reliability, concurrent
validity, and discriminant validity of the NAS were found to be
satisfactory in 204 male offenders in Canada, this study and
many like it exemplify the substantial professional literature
that has developed in recent years from Novaco's research on
the assessment of anger (Novaco, 2013). The NAS-PI can be
recommended as a convenient self-report assessment of anger
and its principal dimensions to be used in a community,
clinical, and forensic settings, both as a snapshot index of
current anger levels and as a barometer of progress and change
(Mills, Kroner & Forth, 1998).

A 40 year old male, refugee named Abdel spent 12years in a
refugee camp in an African nation. He has lost contact with his
wife during this time; she has remarried as she believes he is
deceased. Both of his parents have passed away and he has no
other family. He would like to go back to college to receive
more education in theology, as he would like to become a
religious leader in his community. Abdel now has dental and
medical problems as a result of torture that he endured during
the 6 years that he was imprisoned. He has anger that comes
from fear over the loss of control of his life and money.
(Plummer, Makris 2014).
For this case, I chose the “Stress Assessment Questionnaire”.
This test is available to the public online as well as in clinical
settings. This 128 question assessment is written on a 3rd grade
reading level and gives a report on “stress, strategies to cope,
the personality strategies linked with stress, and the mental
health or stability consequence of stress” (University Nebraska,
2014). The four main points in this assessment are sources,
symptoms, strategies and stability; which has 16 dimensions :
Work, Relationship, Parenting, Emotional Symptoms,

Behavioral Symptoms, Physical Symptoms, Social Support,
Self-Regulation, Problem Solving, Distraction, Health,
Procrastination, Perfectionism, Self-Esteem, Depression, and
Anxiety (University Nebraska, 2014).
Validity and Reliability
This assessment may need more evidence to be proven reliable
as the median score was .80. This is considered to be a low
coefficient, however the article does not state what number is
acceptable (University Nebraska, 2014). There is validity to the
assessment as it does share markers from the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (University Nebraska,
2014).
Overall the positive side of this assessment is that it is available
to anyone online, is easy to read and self-score (University
Nebraska, 2014).

Treatment Evaluation
In “Working with Clients with HIV/AIDS: The Case of Pedro”,
Pedro is a 58 year old man who is heterosexual and was
separated from his family. Pedro was not comfortable with
confiding in a social worker because he was not sure that he
would receive any help (Kristen, 2004). However, the social
worker succeeded in creating a rapport with Pedro and he got
him to trust his work. The social worker therefore was tasked
with ensuring that he did a great a job to solve Pedro’s needs.

There are a number of screening tools that can be used for
evaluation in this particular scenario but the most appropriate is
the Duke Health Profile.
This tool is a generic self-report instrument that consists of 17
items and 6 applicable health measures namely self-esteem,
perceived, social, mental, general and physical health. It also
has four dysfunctional measures namely disability, depression,
anxiety and pain (Shuntermann, 1997). These items were
derived from a profile that focused on item-remainder and face
validity correlations. This generic questionnaire was designed
to quantitatively measure the self-reported functional health
status of an individual. This questionnaire takes approximately
five minutes to fill out and the evaluation is done progressively
over a one-week time frame.
The profile feels a better understanding of how he client feels
about themselves and how they have been feeling over the last
one week (Parkerson, et.al., 1990). Once the final score is
attained, he social worker can be able to evaluate if their
treatment is working or not. This evaluating tool is reliable
because the client has to answer open-ended questions that have
no definite pick answers. They are therefore likely to tell the
truth regarding how they feel about their life and the impact that
the social worker is having on their lives.

Cheraldo,
I really enjoyed reading your post for this weeks discussion.
Pedro is like so many people now who are afraid to voice their
emotions to the social worker, but he need to voice these
emotions so he can receive help. The measurement that you
used was correct because it spoke on the disease that he has and
given data different measument that you could associate Pedro
emotions on, I think that the scale you use was validated by the
information they examined.

Two positive feelings that the social worker and the client
could feel would be a sense of accomplishment and achievement
as we conquered some goals. However there could be a Yin and
Yang effect, so proud and happy for the accomplishment, yet
sad to part ways with a feeling of loss.
One way that we can assist the client with negative feelings
is to be prepared and plan for the termination from the
beginning; we may not be able to know the exact date, but we
may have a rough estimate of how many visits we will have
over a certain period of time. We should also remind the client
again several visits before the last, no surprises (Kirst-Ashman
& Hull, 2014). From the beginning we know that this is going to
end.
To help myself with negative feelings, I could reach out to a
fellow colleague or supervisor. Self-correction is used to help
the social worker regulate emotions (Kirst-Ashman & Hull,
2014). It will be more difficult for a social worker to help the

client if they can not get a grip on their own emotions. There
may be times that a client just drops off and does not return for
what-ever reason. I can see myself having guilt and just
wondering what happened to the client. What went wrong? Was
it something I did? The unknown eats away at me. Time with a
supervisor to talk it out may help to process what just happened
here.

Week eight – Discussion two
Two positive feelings that I as the social worker and client
would feel would be one relief that everything in the case was
accomplished such as goals and meeting all deadlines. Second,
for the client they could feel independence and the social could
be happy and proud of this because it is an accomplishment
(Kirst-Ashman & Hull, 2014).Two negative feelings could be
loss of relationship, and maybe even failure if all deadlines and
accomplishments were not met within the case. Depending on
the case and the cooperation of the client a social worker may
feel a sense of release if the client was uncooperative. On the
other hand if a social worker and a client got a long very well
the social worker could also feel a sense of loss as well.
To help a client deal with termination it might be a good
idea to prepare them for this beforehand. When sessions first
begin state to the client how long the process might take and the

goal of termination in the end. Planning for termination with a
client may reduce emotional attachment (Kirst-Ashman & Hull,
2014).Summarizing progress is also a very important task, it
allows the client to hear what they have accomplished (Kirst-
Ashman & Hull, 2014). As a social worker if I felt myself was
getting attached to a client I would also use the planning for
termination tool as well. As a worker I would remind myself
that working with the client is only temporary and once they
accomplish their goals they will no longer need my services.
