    Supervisor: Ansa Verster

    Module code: SCK4802

    Report: Case work file summary for client M

    Placement organization: Pretoria Technical High School


    1. Name of the organisation: Pretoria Technical High School

    2. Name of the client: M

    3. Identifying data of the client is as follows:


    The client is a boy 14 years old, he is in grade 8 and currently staying in Orchards
    Pretoria. Client M stays with two sisters and his father. The father always travels to
    Cape Town for work trips and he is not home every time. The two siblings are currently
    studying at Tshwane University of Technology. The mother passed away when client
    M was in grade 6.Client M’s parents used to stay in Soshanguve before they moved
    to Orchards .

    4. Home language: The client speaks isiZulu

    5. The presenting problem


    The client is very rude and disrespectful towards the educators especially the female
    educators.

    6. Historical development of the organisation’s involvement with or assistance


    to the client is as follows:
    Client M was once called for disciplinary hearing last term for the same problem of
    being rude and disrespectful especially towards the female educators. One of the
    educator once talked to the sisters of client M about the issue. The sisters complained
    that client doesn’t talk he is always quiet.

    7. My tentative understanding of the client in terms of theory:


    My client is at adolescence stage according to the theory of child developmental of
    Erickson. His behavior of disrespectful and rude especially towards female educators,
    after losing his mother is something which is normal. Van Dyk (2012) client M is
    experiencing sadness and depression which is one of the stages of bereavement.
    Client M might be experiencing (emotions proposition 6). Van Dyk (2012:314)
    mentions that, bereavement is triggered primarily by sense of loss that occurs when
    we lose something or someone to which we have become attached.
