1. What are the risk and protective factors that might have a bearing on a suicide assessment? Don’t forget protective factors. What are Martin’s protective factors and how can they be used in developing safety measures? Module 2 addresses suicide.
2. What are some possible symptoms that might emerge as indicators of trauma arousal? How will you assess trauma symptoms, especially the severity of the symptoms? Examples of screening instruments are the ACE and PCL. This section should NOT be a list or a general overview of the topic. Choose symptoms from these or other trauma assessment sources and provide a rationale for how they specifically apply to Martin.
3. What formal relationship assessments that are paper and pencil, self-report surveys might provide insight into the quality of Martin’s family relationships? How can this information inform treatment? (Hint: Trauma assessments are not the same as those that examine couple or family relationships. The ACE is not appropriate in this section)
4. What family therapy interventions would you suggest for this case? How would you integrate these with trauma and grief issues and with other interventions that might target individual symptoms? This section specifically relates to the readings in Modules 1, 2 and 4. You may add to these as well. Survivor’s guilt is only one part of the picture. He also lost his best friend. Losses are not the same as thought processes such as guilt. As part of his healing process, how can he honor and memorialize those he lost?
