PART A:Selected Ed,

For Ed:

  • As a way to understand Ed’s adult functioning and the challenges he is facing, apply either Erikson’s OR Levinson’s theory to what you know about his life. In your explanation, define the theory and incorporate literature, as well as evidence from the case material.
  • What signs, if any, do you see in terms of a mental health condition for Ed? Define the particular mental health condition(s) you are considering and discuss the additional information you still need to make a solid assessment. Use a peer-reviewed journal as one reference and the DSM-5 to justify your points, as well as information from the case.
  • PART B: Respond to BOTH
    of the following two questions.

  • Overall Considerations:
  • 1.
    In thinking about the
    ways in which middle-aged adults are caregivers in their families
    (simultaneously caring for growing children and elderly parents as they age),
    what role does gender identity, race, and class play in opportunities,
    perspectives, plans, and/or decisions in care planning? Address either care (to
    include discipline) of children/adolescents OR caring for aging parents in your
    consideration of the implications of gender, race, and class on these
    decisions.

  • 2.
    Using concepts from the
    Life Course Perspective, what are the life events and/or transitions, in this
    couple’s life that are most salient? Are
    there historical events or societal trends that are having an impact on this
    family’s functioning? Critique the
    strengths and limitations of taking a Life Course Perspective to assess and
    understand human behavior in general and this family in particular.
