THEORY APPLICATION

2

The theory applied in the previous paper in week three which was based on “Joe the king
movie” was Erickson’s theory. This theory was chosen because on analyzing the characters in
the movie as well as the circumstances surrounding the Henry family, it was very evident that it
was characterized by several conflicts many problems exist within the family, and they could
benefit from several theories. Erickson came up with eight psychosocial stages that all human
beings pass through in their lives. He explained that every psychosocial phase entails a crisis that
is inevitable for every person. He was of the view that if the crisis is resolved in a positive way, a
virtue is born and grants the ego power to handle any other conflicts that may come one’s way.
Nevertheless, in the event that it is solved in a negative way, normal development is
interfered with as well as the emergence of virtues. As relates the Erickson’s theory, there are
many problems in the Henry family in the “Joe the King movie.” The use of Erickson’s theory
allows one to view the conflicts from different stages and perspectives. This essay will explain
how Erickson’s theory can be used in guiding the process of assessment, intervention, and
evaluation with the case of study being “Joe the king movie.”
Assessment
A number of steps are taken in the assessment process which includes;
a) Gathering information
After a social worker is tasked with the mandate of helping a client, they first examine
the background of the client, the family composition, and its characteristics. This may be
achieved through consulting from the family members, physicians, prior case workers, friends,
and all people that may have any details with regards to the client. As concerns the movie Joe the
king, the case worker could start his/her assessment by having a one on one talk with the family
