Model Case

A model case is an example of the concept that demonstrates all of the defining attributes (Walker & Avant, 2005). Sara was the youngest of four children raised in a dysfunctional family environment. Her father was an alcoholic and her mother was physically and verbally abusive. After years of fighting and yell- ing, Sara’s parents ended up in a bitter and protracted divorce. Sara’s needs were a low priority in the family chaos. Sara was a chubby baby, who turned into a chubby kid, who turned to food for most of her comfort.
