PS508 Case Study
CASE STUDY: Jenna
Jenna is a 13-year-old African American girl who has been admitted to your adolescent
treatment facility for methamphetamine use disorder, alcohol use disorder, and
marijuana use, along with school avoidance, currently being homeless, and appearing
to have rapid cycling moods that have not been diagnosed. In the course of getting to
know Jenna, you discover that she is sullen and reactive to any direction, and she
states there is no reason to get treatment as she will just go out and use once she is
released from treatment. As days go by, Jenna becomes more trusting of you as her
counselor, and when you ask why she is homeless and where her family is, she begins
to tell you her story. She states that she ran away from home 6 months ago after
repeated sexual abuse by her stepfather and that her mother did not believe her when
she reported the abuse. She started hanging out with some older girls who were also on
the street and who introduced her to a man named Jack. He agreed to take care of her
but actually made her prostitute herself for drugs, food, and shelter. Jenna was beaten
up by one of her customers after she told him he had to use a condom, and now she
has missed her period for the second month in a row. She has not had any tests for
sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy. She is convinced that Jack is really a nice
guy who helped her out when no one else would. She does not want to talk to her
parents, and she does not want to act against Jack in any way.
