Module 04 Discussion Human Behavior Theory: Elise

Directions:

Scenario: Elise is a 14-years-old 7th grader housed in therapeutic foster care. She is part of the adolescent program for at-risk teens at the Rasmussen Help Center, LLC. She was referred to the center due to her history of abuse and for exhibiting prior violent and antisocial behaviors towards her younger brother and for several violent fights at school (for which she is now placed in an alternative junior high school).

Initial Post: Identify one human behavior theory and hypothesize, based on the main tenets of that theory, why Elise is presenting challenging behaviors. Also, provide two strategies that can potentially assist with Elises maladaptive behaviors.
