Miny Schotter & her mother, Shinder Schotter
|
Miny Schotter, a fifteen year old Hebrew teenager, is the
identified client. Yet, it is her legally blind but "seeing" mother,
Shinder Schotter, that seems to need all the attention. Shinder is
a legally blind woman, mother of Miny. The two live with
Shindler's mother near Dr. Rev. Stephanie Clemente's
Ward, Colorado United Church of Christ (UCC) church. Even
though they are Reformed Hebrews, they attend there regularly.
They seek Rev. Clemente's help and the Caper begins. To learn
about this atypical situation, Rev. Clemente invites herself to
dinner with the three of them. Dialogue and conceptual
information on the importance of good support systems and
aspects of Hebrew culture are interwoven.
Stephanie confronts and supports Miny in order to get matters
under control. She gets a member of the church, Herlinda, to
volunteer to work with Shindler in a team approach, a very
important intervention. With this approach, life gets better for
the two quickly.
In the second section, Sue Shinner seeks help from Nadi's 'Tea,
Tastes and Tales' group on her husband Sam's depression. Sue
learns about the typical treatment processes for depression--
and the faulty assumptions that can be made along the way
examined. Sam recovers in an amazing way.
