COMPLETE ALL THE TASKS.
Task 1: Case study READ THE FOLLOWING CASE STUDY AND ANSWER THE
QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW:
Eddie: An attention-getting child A Grade 3 teacher seeks your professional help with an eightyear-old boy in her class. She tells you that Eddie’s behavior is highly disruptive because he is
continually acting out his problems in a hostile or aggressive manner. He punches other children
for no apparent reason, tears up others’ work, rarely follows instructions, continually talks at times
that are disruptive, and drawsattention to himself through negative behavior. He seems to take
delight in seeing other children get angry. The teacher tells you that she is at a loss to know how
to deal with Eddie’s behavior. She considered asking that he be removed from her classroom, but
she hesitated because she believes that he has many pressing conflicts and is a deeply troubled
child. She asks you to see him for a session and give her some guidance in dealing with his
behavior. You see Eddie for an individual session, during which you discover that his father is
both verbally and physically abusive. Without provocation his father calls him names 2 and beats
him up. One time, Eddie was beaten so badly that he had severe cuts and bruises, and his father
threatened him with a ‘real beating’ if he did not agree to say that he had fallen over by accident.
You also discover that Eddie comes from a single parent family. His father has looked after
Eddie since his mother died when he was five. Eddie tells you that he would feel really lost if he
didn’t have his father. He thinks that maybe he has done many wrong things to deserve the
treatment he gets.Working within a behavioral framework, show how you would proceed in this
session with Eddie so that you might be in a better position to make recommendations to his
teacher and might offer him some direct help yourself.
