the social environment.
A child in foster care that is cutting and

the course of the case, it has become
necessary to determine how much of her
behavior is due to true mental and emotional
turmoil, and how much can be attributed to
ramifications of her own actions.

Practice Behaviors
7.1 Utilize conceptual
frameworks to guide the
processes of assessment,
intervention, and evaluation.
7.2 Critique and apply
knowledge to understand
person and environment

I am not in a clinical
environment. The closest I can
come to that is an

am completing a home study
for needs rigid boundaries
wrapped in love.
