Early Childhood—“Katherine”

Instructions: Review the case of Katherine (below). After reading the case and reflecting on the content, theories and research covered to date, provide an analysis of the case using the prompts noted below. Your entire analysis should be between 4 pages in length. Please be sure to proofread carefully and use APA format for all references. Three (3) scholarly references must be used in your analysis. Please do not use .com sources.

Your analysis must address the following:

1) Provide a brief summary of the case (about 2-3 paragraphs)
2) Assess the case for two-three key issues affecting the child –provide examples from the case. Apply one or more of the theoretical models, such as the ecological model to illustrate how the issues impact a child’s development
3) Analyze the attachment bond between Katherine and her parents. Support your analysis with examples from the case and support from the research
4) Present a discussion of at least two potential treatments for insecure attachment—again these should be supported by the research. Discuss how these could be used in Katherine’s case.
5) Discuss at least two implications for Katherine if treatment for the identified issues is not provided. What are the potential short and long term consequences?
