Social Work Ethics

    A school social worker received a referral involving a nine year old boy. According to the school counselor, the boy’s

    teacher has been concerned for some time about the boy’s classroom behavior and academic performance. According to the

    teacher, the boy is difficult to control; he is often disruptive in class, treats other children aggressively, and is

    impulsive. The teacher also reported that the boy is struggling academically and is having difficulty in completing school

    based tasks in a timely manner. The boy also manifests some symptoms of depression. Without thinking of what possible

    diagnosis this boy might or might not have, what therapeutic modality/intervention might you utilize with this case? Use

    detailed information from what you have learned so far, as well as cite as least one other source. Also, please justify the

    intervention that you choose (explain in detail why you chose this intervention).

    This case was borrowed in part from “The Social Work Ethics Casebook” by Frederic Reamer
