SW 607: Week 5 Discussion
Insomnia Disorder is coded as F51.01 and is a disorder that affects people who have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep through the night, or going back to sleep after being awakened. It can affect how people behave and participate in activities and social situations. The disorder can affect children. The difficult sleep pattern must occur for up to three days per week for up to three months (APA, 2022).
Erectile Disorder is coded as F52.21 in the DSM 5. It is known that some males have this disorder because of low self-esteem and that some cases can be “fixed” without professional support. Individuals with the diagnosis must have three symptoms related to having difficulties with erection, that last for at least six months (APA, 2022)
According to Reichenberg and Seligman (2017), gender identity disorder is established by age three and has been replaced by gender dysphoria in the DSM-5. “In childhood, gender dysphoria affects boys more than girls at a ratio varying from 2:1 to 4:5:1” (Reichenberg and Seligman, 2016, p. 384). The social role, gender identity, sexuality, and body are the four dimensions of gender identity. To meet the requirements, an individual must be able to clearly distinguish between their innate gender and the gender they express; the gender incongruence must cause significant distress in important areas of functioning; the symptoms must last for at least six months; and in children, there must be an expressed desire to be a different gender.

Define Insomnia Disorder
Insomnia, difficultly falling or staying asleep i the hallmark of this disorder. The resulting lack of sleep results in daytime sleepiness for 10%to 15% of adults of which 6% to 10% meet the criteria for insomnia disorder. Complaints of not being able to fall asleep, stay asleep, or fall asleep, or fall back to sleep are common and make insomnia disorder the most prevalent of the sleep-wake disorder. Symptoms must include at least one of the following three problems (difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, as evidenced by frequent awakening, or early-morning awakening without being able to return to sleep. symptoms must be presented at least 3 nights a week for a minimum of 3 months. As with all of the sleep disorders, the symptoms cause clinically significant impairment in the ability to work, drive a car, or other important areas of functioning.
Define Erectile Disorder-
Difficulty obtaining or maintaining an erection during sexual activity, or a decrease in erectile rigidity are considered a DSM-5 disorder, the dysfunction must occur in more than 75% of partnered sexual activity over a 6 month period and cause the person significant distress. Severity level and subtypes mentioned earlier must be specified. Erectile disorder is almost always of the acquired type rather than lifelong.
Discuss the client’s characteristics of gender identity disorder in chapter 15.
Gender identity is a fluid concept that may be questions many times over the course of a lifetimes. The concept encompasses feeling about the body, social roles, gender identification and sexuality. Gender identity disorder was considered to be a pejorative term, and was a controversial diagnosis in DSM-V. Important criteria have been changed and gender dysphoria is no longer considered to be sexual dysfunction but relates to dysphoric feelings surrounding identification as another gender not of one’s birth.

She was able to relocate to the United States when she was 18; she has been living on her own, taking college courses and working since that time. Recently her family has been able to come to the United States and they have joined her in Minneapolis. Her family has had a traumatic time in Somalia, and are having trouble assimilating in the US. They expect Hofsa to work and support them, and always be available to take them where they want to go, to serve as an interpreter, etc. Since Hofsa has been in the States, she is less strict about following the traditional Muslim guidelines that her family practices and this is a constant source of conflict within the family. To make matters even worse, Hofsa has fallen in love with another Somali refugee, which creates a new challenge; he is from a tribe in Somalia that hofsa’s family considers an enemy tribe.

Carter and McGoldrick Identified Six Stages of family development:
Unattached young adult
New Couple
Family with young children
Family with adolescents
Family that is launching children
Family in later life
Cater and McGoldrick six stages of family development emphasizes the guideline of how family develops in society. This model focuses on the evolution of unattached adults to family in later life through several generations of procreation. The model also gives examples of “predictable events such as marriage, birth, and retirement and unpredictive events such as death, complications with birth resulting in a developmentally delayed child, divorce, etc.” (Hepworth, Rooney, Rooney, Strom-Gottfried, 2017, p.264).
The seven instruments may be used as sources for understanding the family situation Clinical assessment Package for assessing Risks and Strengths, Culturagram, Ecomap, Family Assessment Wheel, Integrative Model by Level of Need, Multisystems Approach, Social Support Network Map (Hepworth et al., 2017).

Reply from La’Niaya NesbittHello Daydreona,
Well done on this week’s discussion post. I agree with your post as it pertain to Carter and McGoldrick’s six stages of family development. I would like to add that it is imperative that we understand everyone’s family going through the different stages of development at different times. Hepworth, Rooney, Rooney, and Strom-Gottfried (2017) states, “families can change, readjust, and cope with stressful transitions that occur within the life cycle” (Hepworth, Rooney, Rooney, and Strom-Gottfried, 2017, p. 265).
The seven instruments used for understanding a family’s situation are all useful in their own way. I found each of these tools to be useful as someone who worked at the Department of Social Services as a Foster Care Case Manager. “It can be difficult to find the right tool for a family or its problem, multiple screening inventory tools may be more appropriate for assessing family strengths and stressors” (Hepworth, Rooney, Rooney, and Strom-Gottfried, 2017, p 277). Using these tools can help you as you are working to identify the strengths and challenges within the families you are working with and develop the best intervention methods possible.

Reply from Ajani ScottHello Daydreona. Good post. I just wanted to add more information pertaining to the seven instruments. The clinical assessment package for assessing risks and strengths (CASPARS) developed by (Gilgun 1994,2001) is for families receiving mental health and child welfare services, responds to related concerns. The culturalgram (Congress,1994) is a useful tool for assessing family dimensions in the context of culture, because “the systems view limits important cultural considerations” (Green,1999, P.8). The ecomap enables you to focus on the social context of families and interactions between the family and the larger society (Hartman & Laird, 1983). The family assessment wheels allow you to examine the sociopolitical and cultural context of the family experience (Mailick & Vigilante,1997). The integrative model by level of need developed by Kilpatrick and Cleveland (1993), recognizes five level of family need and functioning. The Multisystems approach developed by Boyd-Franklin and Bry (2000) is derived from structural behavioral family therapy but is also applicable to social work practice with families. The social support network map examines the strength and quality of the family’s interconnected relationships and social supports (Tracy & Whittaker, 1990).

According to Hepworth (2016), the six stages

Please reply to peer must cite book
According to Hepworth (2016), the six stages of family development identified by Carter and McGoldrick (1988, 2005) are as follows:
1.) The unattached young adult; which is considered a single individual who is in the process of breaking away and growing into his or her own person.
2.) New couple; which is the joining of two unattached young adults ready to begin a new family.
3.) Family with young children; which involves a new phase of life when the couple procreates and starts their own family dynamic, separate from the one they grew up in.
4.) Family with adolescents; which is the next phase where the children of the original two unattached adults begin to develop their own interests, while still being under their parents’ care.
5.) Family that is launching children; which is when the process begins to potentially start over again as the family potentially separates. The parents could become “empty-nesters” and the children could start their own journeys in finding their senses of self.
6.) Family later in life: when all members of the family have a sense of belonging.
What I found important when reading the chapter this week was that these six stages do not have to happen in order (Hepworth, 2016). “Families can change, readjust, and cope with stressful transitions that occur within the life cycle,” (McKentry and Price, 2000). Families with different cultural backgrounds also could have a different family development. (Hepworth, 2016). “In this world, life events are not preordained. Instead, they are more likely to be atomistic, mixed-and-matched responses to self-definition and opportunity (Meyer, 1990, p. 12).”
According to Hepworth (2016), the seven instruments which can be used as sources for understanding the family situation are as follows:
1.) The Clinical Assessment Package for Assessing Risks and Strengths (Gilgun, 1994, 2001); CASPARS was created to put risks and protective factors on a scale. It responds to family related concerns, which can range from family and peer relationships, to sexuality (Hepworth, 2016, p. 276).
2.) The Culturalgram (Congress, 1994); this is helpful for families and the cultures they follow as a unit.
3.) The ecomap; focuses on the social dynamic of families in the context of a larger society (Hartman and Laird, 1983).
4.) The Family Assessment Wheel; an examination of the family experience in a sociopolitical way (Mailick and Vigilante, 1997).
5.) The Integrative Model by Level of Need; there are five levels of family need and functioning, which range from basic survival, such as food and shelter, to the family’s relationship and communication styles (Kilpatrick and Holland, 2006).
6.) The Multisystems Approach; assessment and intervention are combined to form a structured behavioral therapeutic approach for the family (Boyd-Franklin and Bry, 2000).
7.) The Social Support Network Map; an examination of the family’s connections within the family unit and interconnected relationships (Tracy and Whittaker, 1990).

Social workers need to know how to create a case note. The ability to write effective case notes is a fundamental skill for social workers. It ensures professionalism, legal compliance, ethical practice, and the provision of high-quality services to clients. By documenting our work accurately and comprehensively, social workers can enhance their effectiveness and contribute to positive client outcomes. This assignment will help you learn this skill.
Case notes serve as a crucial form of documentation in social work practice. They provide a written record of the interactions, assessments, interventions, and progress made with clients. This documentation is essential for accountability, both to the client and to the agency or organization employing the social worker. In practice settings, proper documentation through case notes is crucial for delivery of services and financial reimbursement/payment. Funding sources often require detailed records to justify the allocation of resources.
Before you begin the assignment, read the required articles to assist you in completing the assignment:
