Case Study 1 – Adolescent with depressive symptoms
Lisa, aged 16, was referred to the psychologist for individual therapy following a suicide attempt. Lisa lives with her mother and has one sibling, an 18-year-old brother. She has had no prior history of either attempting suicide or reporting suicidal ideation. Lisa’s mother reported she had not observed any warning signs that would have indicated an impending suicide attempt. She was shocked that deeply troubled by Lisa’s attempt. However, her mother did say that five years ago, at the time of her divorce from Lisa’s father, Lisa had become sad and depressed about the divorce. Lisa saw a counsellor at the time to “work through” her sadness, but did not like the counsellor, and after just a few sessions, did not continue treatment.
Lisa’s mother informed the psychologist that her suicide attempt followed an episode in which Lisa had been caught sneaking out of the house one night and was grounded as punishment. A few days later, with no obvious indicators of unusual distress, Lisa took a deliberate overdose of aspirin with the intent of killing herself. Lisa’s mother came home from work and found Lisa curled up in her bed, complaining of being sick and very tired. After persistent questioning by her mother as to the reasons for her obviously distressed physical condition, Lisa disclosed that she had taken an entire bottle of aspirin. Lisa’s mother immediately called 000, and Lisa was rushed to the hospital. She had her stomach pumped and was kept overnight for observation. Thankfully, her medical situation was not life threatening.
Specifically, with your chosen case study, you are to:

1. Write an introduction AND background of Lisa – which givesan overview of the problem chosen, and gives an overview of how your whole essay will proceed (approx. 250 words)

2. Discuss the search criteria (PICO), inclusion, and exclusion criteria. – HOW YOU FOUND THE SELECTED EBP papers
I WILL DO THIS, AS I HAVE FOUND THEM FOR YOU, BUT YOU NEED TO READ THEM TO DO THE REST OF THE CASE STUDY.

3. Discuss the key clinical issues – 500 words

Read these papers and summarise:

APS suggests CBT, IPT and Family therapy are the most effective therapeutic treatments for Adolescents with Depression. Further
NREPP provided two such therapies as above. These fall within Counseling Psychology interventions

4-Finally, provide at least five open-ended discussion questions that “provoke thought.” No credit given for questions that elicit a yes or no response, or a listing of points.

Please note that you are to write a doctoral level paper, not an outline, based on your specific case study. Although the text illustrates some case studies as examples, as well as other resources you might find on a case study, you must write this assignment as a doctoral paper, not as a brief.

5-Please refer to the proper documents for format and syntax. There are no scholarly resources required.

6-You are to prepare a doctoral level paper, at least 4 full pages of content,

Required text book.

 

Read the incident scenario, and write a response that is at least three pages in length. Your response must include answers to the questions being asked. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced. Paraphrased and/or quoted materials must have accompanying in-text and reference citations in APA format.
Scenario:
You are the Refinery Emergency Response Coordinator for an incident at the SJV Refinery which has been in operation since 1966. The refinery processes 120,000 bbls of crude oil per day, which has a sulfur content of 2.5 percent. The refinery converts crude oil to naptha, light oil, and heavy oils using the Atmospheric/Vacuum Distillation Unit with key equipment such as the following:
 naptha, kerosene, gasoline, and diesel hydrotreaters;
 isomerization unit;
 naptha reformer;
 fluid catalytic cracker;
 coker;
 hydrocracker;
 polymerization unit (petrochemical section of the refinery polymerizing olefin gases to produce polyethylene);
 sulfur recovery Claus plant (catalytic reactors); and
 distillate/gasoline blending tanks.
The refinery was initiating work on a major plant turnaround at the time of the incident to complete required maintenance repairs, mechanical integrity inspections, and modifications to existing equipment. Twenty contractor companies (approximately 150 employees) have been contracted to perform this work under the direction of refinery staff. All of the contractor workers completed the refinery orientation training.
Work for the contractor crews is assigned/scheduled each morning. On the day of the incident, the day-shift (6 am to 6 pm) crew had been tasked with isolating the acid gas feed stream for the Claus unit. Due to other work priorities, the crew did not isolate the line as planned. A shift turnover for the night contractor crew did not happen due to mandatory safety training that delayed their arrival at the worksite. Upon their arrival at the work site, the night crew held a job safety analysis (JSA) review of the scheduled task (line breaking of the acid gas feed line to replace a segment) to be performed and the hazards present. No pressure gauges or monitoring was present to indicate that the acid gas feed line was operational. The crew initiated the line breaking activity (open the line to the atmosphere) at approximately 7:45 pm under self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), which almost immediately resulted in the uncontrolled release of acid gas. A nearby ignition source from a welding operation ignited the flammable gas. The following actions were initially taken:
 The evacuation alarm was sounded and the refinery emergency response team (ERT) was activated.
 The plant manager and the local fire department were notified of the incident.
 The incident command was established at the refinery office near the main refinery access gate to the south (this is the furthest distance within the refinery boundary from the incident location).
 The refinery ERT incident commander implemented actions required under the approved refinery emergency response plan.
 The ERT was not able to immediately isolate the acid gas feed pipeline.
 The fire department arrived on location and assumed the incident command of the event.
Additional Relevant Information:
 The refinery encompasses an area measuring 2000 feet by 1400 feet. The Claus unit is located in the most northern part of the refinery, approximately 1350 feet from the main refinery access gate to the south. The polymerization unit is operating directly adjacent to the Claus unit.
 The nearest residential community is located approximately 1000 feet to the northeast of the refinery.
 A plastic recycling plant is located along the south fence boundary of the refinery.
 A major interstate highway runs directly parallel to the plant, approximately 1/4 of a mile directly north of the refinery.
 The ambient temperature on the day of the incident was 85° F and the wind was blowing at 7 mph from the southwest to the northeast.
 Work crews were scheduled to work 12-hour shifts, 24-hours a day, to complete the refinery turnaround.
 Due to the age of the refinery, SJV has implemented a robust mechanical integrity program.
 The refinery has a trained ERT that can respond to incidents.
 Fixed water monitors are present throughout the refinery to extinguish refinery equipment fires. The refinery ERT does not fight fires past the incipient stage.
 The refinery has received notices of violation (NOVs) from the local air district in the past several years due to gas and liquid leaks from piping components, such as valves, compressor/pump seals, and for excess sodium dioxide (SO2) emissions related with their sulfur plant.
 Due to historical discharges of organic compounds, groundwater monitoring wells are present down gradient of the facility. Groundwater underlying the plant has historically been encountered at 30 feet below ground surface.
 Hydrogen sulfide is present in the acid gas feed to the Claus plant. The H2S concentration of the acid gas feed is approximately 70 percent by volume. H2S and sulfur dioxide (SO2) have the following physical properties:
1. Discuss the hazards posed by the interaction of the hazardous materials present at the refinery and adjacent facilities, including the resulting by-products of the incident fire and acid gas release.
2. As the lead refinery representative on the unified incident command (UIC), what actions should be taken by the UIC to respond to this incident (please consider all receptors).
3. If the polymerization unit is engulfed in the fire, how will this affect your response?
4. All emergency responders participated in the post-incident critique. What corrective actions should be implemented by the refinery to prevent the reoccurrence of this incident?

Topic: Woodward Case Study
This assignment takes you out of the classroom and into the role of observer and participant in the policy process. The student will identify three key episodes in Woodward’s case study in which events went dramatically wrong or right. In other words, you may select an episode in which you agree with the players’ actions, or you may select an episode in which you disagree with how the players behaved. But the episodes must be really important ones. Briefly describe each episode. Before you go onto the next episode, explain what you think should have been done to keep the process on track or get it back on track? This assignment must total at least 375 words (125 words per episode) for a total of at least 1 ½ pages. The student is expected to clearly state each episode, identify its location in the book, use evidence accurately and sound reasoning to support why each episode is so important and why the student’s position is reasonable under the circumstances. The goal is a well-organized presentation that brings together evidence and reasoning to make convincing arguments.
