Describe how the theory you selected can be used to guide the processes of assessment, intervention, and evaluation

Applying a particular theoretical approach to a case is always part of a larger context—in a general sense, who are the clients you are serving? What are the characteristics of the environment in which you work? Given that, what theoretical framework will work best? Do you need flexibility, or a laser-sharp focus? In this assignment, you will have an opportunity to answer those questions. Do careful research, and support your conclusions with relevant evidence.
