Without a doubt Americans everywhere will always remember the tragic events that took place on 9/11 at the World trade Center and the Pentagon. “The loss of lives and property on 9/11 was not large enough to have had a measurable effect on the productive capacity of the United States even though it had a very significant localized effect on New York City and, to a lesser degree, on the Washington, D.C. area” (Woodside & McClam, 2011, pg.? ) . The act of violence of 9/11 changed many lives and brought back many memories such as the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole, DDG 67 on 12 OCT 2000. As a result every day is a recap of how life has changed with longer lines at airports, concrete barriers, a greater police presence in cities, and increased emphasis on biological weapons research. The attacks on 9/11 has affected the work of human service professionals in a major way, encountering clients with both long and short term consequences.

There are five ways to think about a client’s situation in terms of problem identification, developmental and situational problems, hierarchical needs, needs created by societal change and environmental influences. The developmental perspective theorizes that individuals engage in certain tasks or activities at different points in their lives. These developmental stages occur from the day an individual is conceived until the day of their death. It is based on a study by Erik H.
