After a social worker has identified the target behavior of a client, it is time to start collaborative problem solving, including examining the problem situation and developing a hypothesis. There are three parts to this particular type of problem solving: identifying the antecedent, identifying the function of the behavior and:
  1. Identifying a positive replacement behavior.
  2. Identifying the people involved in the behavior.
  3. Identifying the reason for the behavior.
  4. Identifying other secondary behaviors.
Explanation
Answer: A - Identifying a positive replacement behavior will be a process of give and take. An example is a child taking a time-out on his/her own when anger issues arise. Giving that person some freedom to think about their behaviors will help decrease the incidents. The social worker should state what the ultimate outcome is and help the client work towards that goal.
