A case manager must fulfill many roles in his or her practice. Select one role of a case manager from the following list: (Counselor)

• Advocate
• Broker
• Coordinator
• Consultant
• Counselor
• Planner
• Problem Solver
• Record keeper

In a 1-2 page Word document, describe the attributes needed to achieve this role for the client. Explain how you are best equipped to fulfill this role and what things you can do to improve your ability to fill that role. As your response should include a great amount of self-reflection, outside resources are not necessary.

Ways to Use Testing

A number of HR professionals begin their staffing role believing that a paper-and-pencil test can be a cure-all for almost all staffing situations. Companies as diverse as Ameritas Life Insurance and the National Football League use the Wonderlic personality test as a means of assessing employees and potential hires. Many universities use the SAT, ACT, GMAT, or GRE exams to screen potential students. It is tempting to look at these numbers and use them as a key step in the selection process. For this discussion, describe how you would use a test of your choice to screen for a position you are familiar with. You could focus only on the extremes, focus on the mid-points (for example, 22 is mean for a job, so you screen only for people near 22), or you could use some other method.

Use at least two sources from the course, your own findings, or workplace examples to justify your rationale for using the selected screening test.

This week, let’s tackle and deconstruct an Art Historical essay, in preparation for your own individual research project.  A good Art Historical essay makes a specific claim about a work or works of art, which it then supports with formal analysis of the works in question, iconographical explanations, and iconological context.  

Please read this article (Links to an external site.) on the portrait of Madeleine, which is a more in-depth take on the painting featured in our weekly reading on the same artwork.

Then, answer the following questions. 

1. What is James Smalls’ thesis in his article? (In order to answer this question, you must physically locate the sentence or sentences that you believe most succinctly contain his thesis.  Then, please paraphrase his argument in your own words.)

2. Describe a few details of formal analysis that he uses to support his thesis. How do these details support his thesis?

3. Describe a few iconographic details he uses to support his thesis.  How do these iconographical assertions support his thesis?

4. Describe some iconology that he refers to in order to support his thesis.  What outside context does he include in the article and why?

You may answer each of the above questions separately; there is no need to put this week’s weekly response into essay format. 

Upon hearing the stories of sometimes horrific atrocities clients or client families have experienced, you as a social worker may find yourself confronting existential questions such as Why? For example, Why do horrible events happen to good people? Why do people abuse their children?

Trying to make sense of such trauma is not easy, and you may seek answers to these existential questions your whole life. And yet, there are opportunities for growth despite trauma for both clients and social workers. This is known as post-traumatic growth, where a renewed sense purpose or a more profound outlook on life is the by-product.

In this Discussion, you work to seek meaning from the trauma your clients experience and the subsequent healing you help your clients achieve in your social work practice.

To prepare:

• Read about trauma-informed social work, and read this article listed in the Learning Resources: Vis, J.-A., & Boynton, H. M. (2008). Spirituality and transcendent meaning making: possibilities for enhancing posttraumatic growth. Journal of Religion & Spirituality in Social Work, 27(1/2): 69–86. http://dx.doi.org.ezp.waldenulibrary.org/10.1080/15426430802113814

Post:

• In 1 sentence, identify an existential question with which you have grappled in relation to a client who has been traumatized.
  • Reflect on your fieldwork, or perhaps identify an existential question that might arise in working with the client in the case study you have selected throughout the course.
• In 3 to 4 brief sentences, describe where there is potential for growth for the client as a result of the trauma.
• In 3 to 4 brief sentences, explain where there is potential for growth for you, the social worker, as a result of listening to the client’s stories and bearing witness to their trauma.
• Describe any challenges you may experience between the meaning you hold based on your personal beliefs and working within the client’s potentially different belief framework.
