Using an example from your fieldwork or other professional experience and a diverse population you encountered at the agency (for example, in Piedra and Engstrom’s article, it was immigrant families), respond to the following:
• Identify and describe the diverse population and the unique characteristics and/or the distinctive needs of the population in 3–4 brief sentences.
• Explain how you would use the life model to help the client understand and describe their challenges.
• Explain how the problem-solving model can help the client address their challenges.
• How is the client using defense mechanisms, and how is that impeding the ability to problem solve and move forward in the life model?
• Identify where the gaps are in applying the life model for this population.
• When looking at the gaps, explain which theory might be helpful in filling the gaps of the life model when working with this population.
