This week’s case example will be the case in Chapter 7 “Satanic Panic” of the Perry and Szalavitz text.
Develop a post that speaks to the impact of your assigned area to the person in the case example
Macro Dimension: The macro dimension focuses on
large systems – (e.g., state systems, national systems, laws,
regulations, insurance industry, research, policy, advocacy, ACE study,
system change, mental health systems, etc.). Macro is not clinical or
directly individual.
After reading the case example,
- Discuss
how the larger systems (listed above) contributed to the trauma the
children experienced. Include your rationales for your observations. - What kinds of system changes and policies would you recommend?
- In what ways would you hope that these changes might affect the children?
Use at least three references
with unlimited citations from the three course texts to support your
ideas. Students are to write using their own words/summary of the
material and all sources must be cited. Reliance only on direct quotes
is discouraged (students are required to paraphrase).
Please do not summarize the case example (everyone is reading the same case example each week).
