There are two major components to this reflection paper:
First, please pick two of the 7 major perspectives discussed in chapter one that you feel most relate to your character case study. Discuss why you feel each perspective applies to your character from the case study, and how these perspectives apply to the various issues impacting that character.
Next, discuss what type of case plan you might use with your character based on each of the two perspectives you selected. Remember to make your case plan appropriate to the perspective you picked. For example, if I picked conflict perspective, I should discuss a more macro-focused case plan, since conflict perspective looks at macro change. Finally, discuss the strengths and limitations of each perspective, and which perspective you ultimately think it best for your social work practice with your case study character.

- For my case study, I have selected Will Hunting, the main character from the film Good Will Hunting. I picked Will because his story highlights important social issues such as childhood trauma, mental health, and limited access to supportive services.
