Question Answered step-by-step CASE STUDY Your client presents with a work situation that has… CASE STUDY Your client presents with a work situation that has evolved into a crisis because of the current economic problems and politics in the workplace. He is married, has children, and describes himself as a “regular, middle-class, middle-aged guy.” He does not know what to do, because his work situation is becoming more abusive due to politics that are hampering the completion of his job responsibilities: for example, people (co-workers, supervisors) are not providing him with necessary information and yet are blaming him and giving him consequences for not meeting his job responsibilities. As a result, he is having to work longer and has less time for his family. This has resulted in problems within his marriage and him being more short-tempered with his children. He wants to leave his career (he has been unhappy with it for a number of years), but does not know how he could find another job in the local area given the current state of the economy. He does not feel suicidal, but he has recently been placed on antidepressants and high blood pressure medication by his general physician. He describes himself as in a crisis and unable to see his way out, which is why he has come for counseling for the first time in his life. 1.
