18. REVIEW UNIT 7 PROJECT

19. Case Study • This week, in a three-page essay, you will write a case management plan for a person. Drawing from the book, develop an individual plan providing the components that you think will best serve your client. You will address issues such as what your tentative diagnosis is for the client, whether crisis services are needed and what you would do if they were, what services you need to arrange for the client to help them receive the best care, and your role as the case manager.

20. Case Study continued • You will use critical thinking skills to illustrate the ability to identify the client’s issues; to formulate a logical process of reasoning as to how you have developed the services the client needs, to assess assumptions, and to formulate conclusions based on your own sound reasoning skills.

21. Critical Thinking • Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively andskillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/orevaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to beliefand action.

22. In its exemplary form, it is based on universal intellectualvalues that transcend subject matter divisions: clarity, accuracy,precision, consistency, relevance, sound evidence, good reasons, depth,breadth, and fairness.

23. It entails the examination of those structures orelements of thought implicit in all reasoning: purpose, problem, orquestion-at-issue, assumptions, concepts, empirical grounding; reasoningleading to conclusions, implications and consequences, objections fromalternative viewpoints, and frame of reference.

24. Critical thinking - in being • responsive to variable subject matter, issues, and purposes - is • incorporated in a family of interwoven modes of thinking; including-scientific thinking, mathematical thinking, historical thinking, anthropological thinking, economic thinking, moral thinking, andphilosophical thinking. Remember to APPLY Your Critical Thinking Skills to your Unit 7 Project!!!
