.cover and explain the diagnosis and treatment of the family

It was only two weeks into the new school year and the teachers and administration at the high school and grade school could not figure out what the problem was with the six Romano children (ages 16, 14, 13, 11, 7, and 6.). All of their teachers described the children as “unusual” this year. The children seemed angry, kept to themselves, did not have many friends and never invited anyone over to their house. All of the children were in some kind of trouble most of the time. Both parents worked fulltime and were hard to reach by the school, however, when speaking with the parents, the teachers and school administration found them “normal”. Recently the 14 year-old called her teacher a derogatory name and ran out of the classroom. When the teachers spoke with the parents (Mr. and Mrs. Romano), the parents maintained that absolutely nothing was wrong at home and nothing had changed. They suggested that this kind of behavior seemed to them to be typical of 14 year-olds. Two weeks later, each one of the children began to act out – some of the children got into fights with other students, some of the children talked back to their teacher and ran out of the classroom

Using the Case Study of the Romano Family, write an 8 to 10-page paper. Make sure to:

• cover and explain the diagnosis and treatment of the family
• use one of the evidence-based models of education and treatment
• address the effects of various drugs
