Working With People With Disabilities

Human Interactions 11-1

Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman (2016) stated, “Clients are affected by and in constant dynamic interactions with other systems, including families, groups, organizations, and communities” (p. 35-36). As a social worker, when you address the needs of an individual client, you also take into account the systems with which the client interacts. Obtaining information about these systems helps you better assess your client’s situation. These systems may provide support to the client, or they may contribute to the client’s presenting problem.
For this Discussion, review “Working With People With Disabilities: The Case of Lester.”Consider the systems with which Lester Johnson, the client, interacts. Think about ways you might apply a systems perspective to his case. Also, consider the significance of the systems perspective for social work in general.

Post a Discussion in which you explain how multiple systems interact to impact individuals. Explain how you, as a social worker, might apply a systems perspective to your work with Lester Johnson. Finally, explain how you might apply a systems perspective to social work practice.

Maslow’s needs theory
Maslow’s needs theory can be a useful framework for describing human motivation. Unlike other theories, it emphasizes the idea that some needs take precedence over others. While it has its critics, it has been applied in many different areas. As you create your discussion post, consider the following:

  • What are the basic principles of Maslow’s theory?
  • How can the Hierarchy of Needs be applied to a practical situation?

By the end of this discussion, you will be able to:

  • Describe Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and attempt to apply it to a real world situation.

Complete the following:
After reading the material on Maslow’s theory in the textbook, you may also wish to read the following: Abraham Maslow, Personality Theories (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (Skip the biography unless you are interested). Then do a web search for practical uses of the theory. You will find some applications in education and business. Describe in detail how the theory has been applied in the area that you researched. Does using it make sense? Why or why not? Be sure to document your statement with information from the readings and any sources that you have found.
