Case study MarkMark is 16 years old, and the oldest of 4 children. He attends school regularly but does not do much homework, and does assignments at the last minute. His grades are B’s and C’s. Mark is very quiet but has half a dozen friends. He plays in a garage band with a few guys he knows from school. Mark rarely smiles. He has a weekend job, but often does not return home after getting off work. Usually, he goes straight over to the home of a friend who is two years older. There, he is allowed to drink as much beer and hard liquor as he wants. He gets very drunk each time and usually spends the night sleeping on the floor or on the couch if it is available. He’s driven home drunk once. Mark sometimes cries when he is drunk, saying he hates how his life is and wishes he were dead. He complains that his parents scream and fight too much, and it’s easier to stay out of the house and avoid the chaos. Mark hopes to be an architect someday and takes drafting in school. Mark still has visions and dreams but does not believe they are attainable.1. DEFINE THE ISSUE OR PROBLEM:2. IMMEDIATE AND CRITICAL ASSESSMENT NEEDS3. FACTS GATHERED FROM CLIENT’S STATEMENT4.
