Human
Behavior
Imagine
you are having a conversation with a friend who makes one of two comments:
“I
just don’t understand why women stay in an abusive relationship.” OR
“I don’t understand why someone would not report being sexually assaulted/raped.”
Select one
scenario and discuss how you would explain the victim/survivor experience to
this friend based on what you have learned in this unit in order to help your
friend better understand the dynamics which occur after an individual has been
victimized. Your answer may include a discussion of the symptoms of trauma,
lack of social support, beliefs/stereotypes of victims, the criminal justice
system, child welfare involvement, etc.

2) You are
now working as a therapist in a mental health clinic. A mother, Michelle, comes
to you concerned about her 12 year-old son named James. She describes James as being aggressive
towards her which includes screaming in her face, throwing objects when he is
upset and on two occasions, he pushed her down to the ground. While you are conducting the intake, Michelle
tells you that she left James’ father, Michael, after years of domestic
violence which resulted in his arrests and current incarceration. When you inquire about what behaviors James
may have witnessed between his parents, Michelle is clear that James viewed
many occasions when his Father punched her, blocked her from leaving the house
and at one point, James intervened in the abuse resulting in him receiving a
black eye from his Father. Despite these
examples, Michelle articulates to you that she does not understand from where
James has learned these aggressive behaviors and would like assistance and
support to intervene with him “before he becomes just like his father.” How do you explain to Michelle the impact of
Michael’s behaviors on James? What
further questions would you like to ask Michelle? What techniques would you utilize to engage
James?
