Part 2: Watch the film, Short Term 12 (see below for a description and link). Then answer the following two questions. 15 points. (2 questions x 7.5 points)
Focus on the following trauma victims: Grace (staff supervisor); Marcus (resident); and Jayden (resident). Describe the types of trauma(s) each person experienced and how they responded to their trauma(s) (thoughts, feelings, actions, symptoms). (About 600 words: 200 words per client)
Select one trauma victim from the three listed in #1 and identify the treatment model you would select for this client.
Explain your reasons for your choice. What aspects of the selected model align with the client’s responses to the trauma? Why would this treatment be effective for this client? (About 200 words)
Write a “script” for how you would introduce this model to your client. Write this script “verbatim,” like, “After our first session when you described your trauma experience to me, here’s how I think we can proceed. The treatment model which I think would be most helpful is __________________. Here’s why I think it would be helpful: ___________________________.”
