North Carolina A & T State University Hans and Marta Case Study I chose to take a look at the case study involving Hans and Marta. They are having extreme marital discord due to physical violence in the home and fear is keeping Marta from making the hard decisions for herself and her children. The biological factors are what is most likely causing these psychological factors to happen and then lead to the social factors and issues at play. They are all connected in some way or another, and they contribute greatly to the individuals presenting problem. In this case Hans is being abusive to Marta and sometimes his children, his biological factors state that his father was physically abusive as well. Marta just gave birth 6 months ago and is still trying to deal with her hormones and getting her natural body to go back to normal, Hans is complaining that Marta is less loving and doesn’t want sex anymore, these all play into the biological factors and explain why each person is reacting in the way that they are. The plan for treatment is to continue with individual therapy for each of them so that they can start to learn and understand how these biological factors are connected to what is happening and how they have contributed to their marriage historically. They will need to develop safety plans to make sure they have the tools needed to handle situations differently when the idea of abuse comes into play, and Marta will need to develop a plan in case she is abused by Hans again.Plante, T.
