Gaps in the Life Model
Using an example from your fieldwork experience and a diverse population you encountered at the
agency (for example, in Piedra and Engstrom’s article, it was immigrant families), respond to the
following:
Identify and describe the diverse population and the unique characteristics and/or the distinctive needs of
the population in 3 to 4 brief sentences.
Explain how the life model can be applied for the population.
Explain where the gaps are in applying the life model for this population.
When looking at the gaps, explain which theory might be helpful in filling the gaps of the life model when
working with this population
