Case scenario
Jacob is a 45-year-old married caucasian male. Jacob has one 16-year-old daughter named Savannah that he shares with his wife Jane. Jacob currently works as a welder for a construction company that he has worked at since graduating from high school at the age of 18. Jacob had previously struggled with a severe AUD but has been sober for the past 2 years. Jane, Jacob’s wife used to be Jacob’s drinking partner and has continued to heavily drink often. Jacob has struggled with his wife’s alcohol use and has developed Major Depression, which has contributed to suicidal ideation. This environment has become quite difficult for Jacob’s recovery. Being exposed to an environment that presents certain stressors or cues can promote relapse in a person’s recovery (ASAM,n.d.).
Jane is a 45-year-old caucasian female. Jane has been married to Jacob for the past 27 years. Jane has struggled with managing her emotions since her childhood after suffering from prolonged childhood trauma. Jane feels resentful towards her husband Jacob and she feels abandoned which brings up memories of her childhood. Jane has been engaging in cutting behavior due to Jane stating that she feels a “release” of her emotions. Jane has struggled with relationships throughout her adulthood and has struggled to maintain appropriate boundaries in relationships.
Savannah is a 16 year sophomore in high school. Savannah has been struggling with concentrating in school due to tension in the family household and her mothers’ substance abuse. Children who develop adverse childhood experiences are known to participate in risky behaviors and develop chronic health issues (ncsl.org). Moreover, Savannah has experienced forms of neglect due to Jacob and Jane’s inability to be fully available to parent Savannah. Savannah’s teachers have noticed a decline in her grades. Her teachers have noticed a change in her demeanor and have referred her to the school counselor.
