Please let me know if yhou have any questions. Thnank you! exact details from assignment are pasted below and attached with youtube link.
This assignment will focus on “describing” the social work
client’s background and problems. More specifically, you will need to describe
the client background in general terms (e.g., ethnicity, age, gender, family
background). Next, you will need to define and describe the client problem
of interest in general terms. For instance, what brings the client to
treatment (e.g., drug abuse, marital problems, & mental health issues)?
This should include a discussion of the client problem’s epidemiology
(prevalence) and its etiology (causes), based on a review of the literature.
Next, you will need to define and describe at least one
intervention to deal with the client’s problem(s). This should include a
review of the theoretical, empirical, and clinical literature. Focus on
the evidence-based literature and find an intervention that could help you
alleviate at least one of the client’s problems. For instance, if your
client is struggling with depression then use an intervention from the
literature that has been shown to help this particular type of client (e.g.,
cognitive-behavioral therapy). Also include information about treating
this problem that is based on your own practice wisdom. For example, what
interventions are used at your field placement or place of employment for this
type of client or what types of interventions have you used in the past?
Make sure to fully discuss the intervention components.
Next, you will need to state your intervention hypothesis;
that is, based on the forgoing discussion, state the effect of the independent
variable on the dependent variable. Remember, the
independent variable is the type of intervention that will be used, and the
dependent variable is the client problem. For instance, Sally is
struggling with depression and a social worker plans to use
cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help Sally alleviate her depressive
symptoms. Below is an example of an intervention hypothesis:
“Receiving 8 weeks of CBT will reduce Sally’s Beck
Depression Inventory (BDI) score by 25 points”
Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will

Workshop. So, for this workshop, open YouTube and type the words “Single-Case
Designs” and it should show dozens of videos to choose from. You can also use
similar keywords to search for relevant videos. Keep in mind that whatever
video(s) you decide to utilize for your assignment, you must cite them in your
reference section. The general format for citing a video in APA is below:
