She presented to therapy four weeks after the sudden loss of her husband, Eli, and youngest child, Kai, who were killed by a drunk driver on their way home from Korean school. Ilana’s daughter, Claire, was also in the car at the time of the accident but survived. Ilana reports that she moves back and forth between periods of shock, denial, and anger and finds herself “zoning out” many times a day, as if she is watching herself in slow motion. She struggles with feelings of hopelessness and rage and simultaneously feels the needs to cut off her emotions to protect and care for her eight-year-old daughter. She worries she is losing control and does not know how she will continue to manage life without her husband and child. History Ilana and Eli were married for 12 years. They met at the local hospital where they were both employed as nurses. In addition to their passion for nursing, Eli and Ilana bonded over their shared Korean heritage. Eli was biracial with an Irish mother and Korean father, and Ilana’s family had immigrated to the United States from Korea when she was two years old. Although both adopted “American lifestyles,” they both felt a strong cultural connection to their Korean heritage and agreed to raise their children with an awareness of their Korean roots. After a several years of marriage, Ilana and Eli had Claire, who was later followed by their son, Kai. Ilana reported that both she and Eli had been very close to their children and saw their relationship as one of partners and co-parents. While they preferred to do things together as a family, one of the other of them would take responsibility for the kids’ activities when the other was on call for work. On the day of the accident Ilana had been on call, so Eli took Claire and Kai to the Korean-language school they attended on Saturday mornings. She had been in the process of preparing lunch when she received a call from the local hospital where Eli still worked. She was told a drunk driver had run a red light and smashed head-on into the driver’s side of Eli’s car, killing him and Kai instantly. Claire had been taken to the hospital with a broken leg and some small lacerations. In the month since the accident Ilana has not been working and has largely been supported by her parents and sister who live in her same town. They held a Christian funeral for Kai and Eli three days after the accident, but Ilana claims she has been “unable to do anything” since. She said she often drifts in and out of functioning and will become angry and full of rage completely out of the blue. She notes that she is hypervigilant and jumpy, and she has become increasingly protective of Claire, who is struggling with her own nightmares and distressing memories of the accident. She states that she has “no idea who [she is] anymore” and does not know how to continue to parent in thCOU 680 Clarification of Intervention Clarification of “Intervention” for Rubrics: Throughout the course of this term, you will be asked to research and select empirically validated counseling treatment interventions appropriate to the case studies you have been provided. Treatment interventions are those cognitive, affective, behavioral, and systemic counseling strategies, techniques, and methods that are specifically implemented in the context of a therapeutic relationship. They should reflect the specific needs of the client and demonstrate clinical efficacy in addressing the targeted concern. For the purposes of this course, you will need to find journal articles that specifically target crisis and trauma interventions demonstrating clinical application to each specific case study. Select interventions from journal articles published within the past five years to ensure use of the most up-to- date resources. For assistance, consider the following as an example of an appropriate and empirically validated intervention article for working with clients who have suffered from domestic violence: Binkley, E. (2013). Creative strategies for treating victims of domestic violence. Journal of Creativity in Mental Health, 8(3), 305–313. http://ezproxy.snhu.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=sih&AN=90363425&site=eds-live&scope=siteCASE STUDY OF [TOPIC] 4 [Note: To complete this template, replace the bracketed text with your own content. Remove this note before you submit your paper.] Intervention Paper: Case Study of [Topic] [Your Name] Running head: CASE STUDY OF [TOPIC] 1 Southern New Hampshire University Description of Intervention [Include in this section a brief overview of the intervention you have selected, based on how it was described in the article. Please do not copy and paste the description from the article—use your own words. Think of this like you are explaining it to your best friend. What does it do, how do you do it, and to whom would it apply? You also want to make sure you are looking for any limitations to the intervention noted in the article or important to consider. Most journal articles will have a limitations section or speak to any considerations you might want to think about before applying it. Others may not have this concretely stated, so you will need to do some analysis and consider to whom the intervention might not be applicable and why. A couple of limitations you are likely to see are that they are relatively new and untested or that they only apply to a specific group of people. Those are great things to consider when selecting an intervention and part of what I want you to get savvy at looking for.] Rationale [This section should center on why you have chosen this intervention for the case study. Why is it appropriate to the specific client? You want to use the details of the case study to help you justify the approach based on factors like diagnosis, culture, family dynamics, developmental influences, etc. Remember, the goal in any intervention is to choose one that will be most effective to the needs of the client. To that end, you will really want to consider and speak to the details of the case study and why they tie back to your chosen intervention in this section.] Explanation of Support [In this section you will speak to the actual application of the intervention to the case study client. What would it look like when applied to the client from the case study given the details of the article and the description above? This takes your rationale a step further and has you really think about what it would mean to put the case study client in the intervention. This step moves you from why it would be valuable (rationale) to how it would work.] Future Applications [This final section is designed to have you consider to whom or under what circumstances you might apply this intervention in the future. How might you use this tool in your toolbox to help you in future work? Can it apply to more than one type of issue or client? This is where you should consider expansion beyond the particular case study and speak to how you think you will use this intervention to help your future practice.] References [Include any references cited in your paper in full APA format. Don’t forget to include in-text citations as well.]
