READ THE FOLLOWING CASE STUDY AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT
FOLLOW:
Eddie: An attention-getting child
A Grade 3 teacher seeks your professional help with an eight-year-old boy in her class.
She tells you that Eddie’s behaviour is highly disruptive because he is continually acting
out his problems in a hostile or aggressive manner. He punches other childrenfor no
apparent reason, tears up others’ work, rarely follows instructions, continually talks at
times that are disruptive, and draws attention to himself through negative behaviour. He
seems to take delight in seeing other children get angry.
The teacher tells you that she is at a loss to know how to deal with Eddie’s behaviour.
She considered asking that he be removed from her classroom, but she hesitated
because she believes that he has many pressing conflicts and is a deeply troubled
child. She asks you to see him for a session and give her some guidance in dealing with
his behaviour.
You see Eddie for an individual session, during which you discover that his father is both
verbally and physically abusive. Without provocation his father calls him names and
beats him up. One time, Eddie was beaten so badly that he had severe cuts and
bruises, and his father threatened him with a ‘real beating’ if he did not agree to say that
he had fallen over by accident. You also discover that Eddie comes from a single parent
family. His father has looked after Eddie since his mother died when he was five. Eddie
tells you that he would feel really lost if he didn’t have his father. He thinks that maybe
he has done many wrong things to deserve the treatment he gets. Working within a
behavioural framework, show how you would proceed in this session with Eddie so that
you might be in a better position to make recommendations to his teacher and might
offer him some direct help yours
