Discussion 2: Dalia’s Behavior
Argumentative behavior, engagement in physical altercations, and evidence of mood swings can all indicate that an adolescent is experiencing anger and depression. Self-harming can surface in adolescents, too, as they experience difficult emotions.
For this Discussion, read the case study of Dalia and consider what you, as her social worker, would do if you observed self-harm indicators.
- Post a brief explanation of self-harming behaviors that Dalia is exhibiting.
- Describe theoretical approaches and practical skills you would employ in working with Dalia.
- How might familial relationships result in Dalia’s self-harming behavior?
