Purpose:
Students will write a Developmental Case Analysis Portfolio, using critical evaluation of relevant case studies to demonstrate their understanding of key childhood life stages and developmental theories, and to reflect on the application of those theories to professional counselling practice.
Process:
·Access the case studies found in Chapters 5-8 of your textbook:Newman, B. M. & Newman, P. R. (2018).
Development Through Life: A Psychosocial Approach
(13th Australian & New Zealand ed.). Boston, MA: Cengage Learning.
·Choose TWO case studies, from two of the four life stages of infancy, toddlerhood, early childhood and middle childhood.
For each case study:
·Briefly introduce the case study and life stage you have chosen
·Provide an overview of developmental theory relevant to the case study.
·Discuss how the theory could be applied to this case study.
·Reflect on how you could apply the theory you describe to your own professional practice.
Each case study (approximately 1000 words) will include:
1.Brief introduction to the case study and life stage
2.Overview of relevant theory
odefinition of key concepts
oWhat is considered typical / atypical according to the theory?
3.Application of theory
·How can the theory in (1) be applied to this case study?
·What are the strengths / limitations of the theory when applied to the case?
4. Reflect on how your study of developmental theory from this case study will change your approach to your professional practice.
Your case study portfolio must demonstrate evidence of familiarity with relevant literature and theory, with appropriate citation to support claims
