Submit a PowerPoint presentation using the Personal Capture feature of the Kaltura media feature in the online classroom. Record yourself giving the audio-visual presentation much like you would in a case presentation or other public setting. The presentation should include 11–12 slides.

The writing on each slide should use bullet points, meaning no long paragraphs of written text should be in the slides.
The recording takes the place of fully written paragraphs, while the bullet points provide context and cues for the audience to follow along.

Your presentation should address the following:

Identify the theoretical orientation you have selected to use.
Describe how you would assess the problem orientation of the client in your selected case study (i.e., how the client perceives the problem). Remember to keep the theoretical orientation in mind in this assessment stage.
Discuss the problem definition and formulation based on the theoretical orientation you have selected.
Identify and describe two solutions from all the solutions possible. Remember, some of these solutions should stem from the theoretical orientation you are utilizing.
Describe how you would implement the solution. Remember to keep the theoretical orientation in mind.
Describe the extent to which the client is able to mobilize the solutions for change.
Discuss how you would evaluate whether the outcome is achieved or not. Remember to keep the theoretical orientation in mind.
Explain how well the problem-solving model can be used for short-term treatment of this client.
Describe one merit and one limitation of using the problem-solving model for this case.
Analysis of Theory Worksheet
Use this worksheet to help you apply a theory as a lens to the case study for your
assignments. Fill in the column on the right with all applicable information, and then
consider it a reference for how to apply the theory. You must submit this worksheet,
where indicated, in applicable assignments. Then you will compile the worksheet for
your Theories Study Guide (that you can use for the licensure exam) at the end of the
course.
