  • Bridget Bishop Case

    1212 Words  | 3 Pages

    When conducting research for my project, I came across a website that contained a few primary sources regarding the Salem Witch Trials. One of these primary sources was the photo of a legal document explaining the death warrant and reasons for execution of a woman named Bridget Bishop. Bishop was claimed to be a witch in Salem during the year 1692, and the document explaining her significance involving witchcraft resides in the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. My thesis for this primary source is that the judge and jury believed they were seeking justice by executing Bishop, a woman whose death was truthfully based on her differences as a person rather than actual crimes she committed.

In crisis situations, social workers work with survivors to identify needs and come up with plans that include referrals or recommendations that will work toward fulfilling the client’s needs (Goelitz & Stewart-Kahn, 2013). The text states that during the assessment process, social workers act as detectives, uncovering aspects of crisis needing consideration (Goelitz & Stewart-Kahn, 2013). The clinician conducting Jalisa’s assessment uncovered Jalisa and her family have a history of past trauma, fleeing homeland and relocating from refugee camp. Jalisa’s father also believes in corporal punishment and Jalisa has expressed fear receiving disciplinary actions from father. Jalisa’s clinician recommended further exploration of these incidents. Crisis situations also call for assessing the safety of the survivor. It was determined that Jalisa felt safe in her home, even with her father coming home for the weekend. A safety plan for Jalisa for the weekend was then established. As a summary indicator of trauma informed, the clinician assesses for mental health issues, stating that Jalisa did not exhibit any serious acute trauma related stress at this time.

In her rear view mirrors, my mom could see the car behind us still driving towards us with no sign of slowing down. As it came closer and closer we realized what was happening; the driver was not paying attention and did not see us stopped just feet in front of him. As his front bumper collided with our rear, the screech of metal filled our ears and immense force lurched the car forwards, throwing us back into our seats and then forwards as we came to a stop.
