Case History

When conducting an evaluation, it is also important to consider the client’s demography as a possible contributing factor.

Use the module readings and the Argosy University online library resources to research methods of recording case histories.

Create a case history for a person with an addiction that clearly traces contributing factors. Do not include identifying information. At this point, do not include details of any mental illness that would constitute a dual diagnosis. Be sure to cover the following components in your case history:

• Demographics – including age, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, marital status, number and ages of children, living arrangements, and religion if applicable
• Family background
• Education
• Employment
• History of chemical use
• Description of the current problem (include history of previous treatment, if any)

After completing the case history, consider ethical standards in relation to this client. What potential ethical issues exist or may come into play with this client? Be sure to include at least one ethical issue. Explore multiculturalism, duty to report/warn, and confidentiality. For example, if the client has children, explain how duty to report may come into play when working with this client.

Write a 3–4-page report in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of  at least 5 sources.

Discussion Question  1

There are many popular movies, theatre productions, and television shows that involve the theme of memory and amnesia. Choose one and provide a summary and analysis of the accuracy with which the character is portrayed as an individual afflicted with the condition.

Please answer the discussion question by completing the following:

1.Refer to and integrate ideas presented in the text and supplemental readings.

2.Cite outside resources if necessary to make your point.

3.Follow APA style rules for citations and references.

You will be evaluated on how well you can demonstrate that you understand the ideas presented throughout the unit, including assigned readings, discussions, and independent investigations. You will also be evaluated on the quality of your work: its academic rigor, how well it shows your ability to think critically, and how completely it covers the questions asked.
