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.
