Case Study

Order Description
Purpose:
Students will identify and apply cross cultural counselling competencies through the analysis of major presenting problems that a character from one of the two film options may bring to counselling. The case study will include issues such as racism, discrimination, prejudice and class/colour privilege, as well as effective therapeutic approaches and potential challenges.

Process:
Use film Milk (2008) (Actor: Sean Penn) and write a case study centred on a key character. Identify any elements of racism, discrimination, prejudice and class/colour privilege. Identify the major presenting problems that the character may bring to counselling, possible effective therapeutic approaches for this client, and the challenges that you might encounter personally and professionally in working therapeutically with the client.

Your case study will need to address:
• Identification and character profile of key character
• Identification of any elements of discrimination, racism, prejudice and privilege
• Analysis of potential presenting problems that character could present with in counselling
• Consideration of potential challenges and issues in working with this character/client effectively
• Identify possible effective therapeutic approaches
• Evidence of in-depth knowledge of current literature and relevant theory on cultural diversity that is applicable to your selected case
• Main ideas clearly and logically presented
• Relevant research and scholarship literature used appropriately to support claims
• Correct academic writing style used, including correct spelling, grammar and punctuation
