Scenario #1: Mrs. Kehl is a single mom who is two months pregnant. She works part-time in a shoe factory and is paid minimum wage. She already has seven children and they are living in substandard poverty conditions. She does not wish to have additional children; this pregnancy resulted from a failure of the birth control method she was using. Her family is Catholic and she attends church regularly with them. On the one hand, she wants to have an abortion. She feels her children are already being hurt because of lack of money. On the other hand, she believes having an abortion is immoral. This client has come to you for help.

Scenario #2: Mr. Ritter is 82 years old and has terminal cancer. He has lived a full life but now he is in severe pain. He is rather depressed and does not want to be visited by family and friends. Mr. Ritter pleads and begs for physician assisted suicide or else he might seriously consider taking his own life. His wife and daughter are very supportive of his wishes and believe that he should be allowed to die with dignity. You are the social worker on this case and the family is looking to you for answers.

Scenario #3: Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair have a 2-year-old child who has profound cognitive disability and who also needs extensive medical care. They have three older children. The family’s emotional and physical resources are being severely drained, and family relationships are increasingly tense. Yet the family feels the child will develop at a faster pace in their home than in an institution or in a group home. This couple is seeking assistance from you.

Scenario #4: Mr. and Mrs. Stonek’s only child was taken away two years ago and placed in a foster home because of neglect. The father drank excessively, and the mother was very depressed. Over the past two  years, the Stoneks have occasionally made efforts to improve their lives but have always “slid back.” For the past two months, Mr. Stonek has been involved in Alcoholics Anonymous and has only occasionally gotten drunk. Mrs. Stonek presently seems less depressed and feels having her son back would make her life more meaningful. The Stoneks ask to have their child returned. This family was referred to you.
