Exam 8: Constructing, Contextualizing, and Evaluating Treatment Goals
A helper is seeing a ten-year-old female for having behavioral problems in school (fighting, not following directions, arguing with the teacher). Using ecological or bioecological systems theory, identify possible microsystem structures for the client.
Possible microsystem structures for the ten-year-old female client could include her family, school, and peer group. Within her family microsystem, the client's relationships with her parents, siblings, and other close family members could be influencing her behavior. This could include the dynamics of her family relationships, the parenting style of her caregivers, and any potential stressors or conflicts within the family.
Within the school microsystem, the client's interactions with her teachers, classmates, and school staff could be impacting her behavior. This could involve the classroom environment, the teaching style of her teachers, and any peer relationships or social dynamics within the school setting.
Additionally, the client's peer group could also be a significant microsystem structure. Her friendships, social interactions, and peer influences could be contributing to her behavioral problems in school.
By considering these microsystem structures within the ecological or bioecological systems theory, the helper can gain a better understanding of the various influences on the client's behavior and develop a more comprehensive intervention plan that takes into account the multiple systems impacting the client's life.
