At age fifty-four, Joey was arrested for online solicitation of a minor. Joey has two children, Alex (23) and Amberlynn (18). Up until the day of his arrest, Joey had been actively involved in his children's lives. Alex was a master's student at the University of Oklahoma at the time of his father's arrest and Amberlynn was a senior at China Spring High School at the time of the arrest. Joey spent a week in the McLennan County Jail before being released on bail for five days. After those five days, Joey was arrested again on twenty-two counts of online solicitation of a minor and five counts of child pornography. Even though Alex and Amberlynn were never sexually abused by their father, they were emotionally affected by him from day one. According to FJ Turner (2011), theories and concepts allow us to better analyze and have a “dynamic understanding” of the families we are observing. Buford Farris (1975) states that organization is necessary to fully understand social work theories and concepts and to apply them to the family system. Psychodynamic perspective theory can be applied to Joey. This theory states that “internal processes such as needs, drives, and emotions motivate human behavior; Early childhood experiences are central to life problems later in life. As a child, Joey was sexually molested by his stepfather. This harassment has impacted Joey his entire life. The concepts of psychological age, which has both behavioral and perceptual components, and opportunity, which allows you to make the best of the life situation you have been placed in by your own action or by someone else's, can be applied to Joey. childhood experiences impacted his entire life... middle of paper... eliminated them. Some things can never be returned, like Amberlynn's high school diploma, while others will take years to regain, like the trust between this father and his children. While this family has a long road to complete recovery, they are off to a good start and appear to be moving in the right direction. Works Cited Farris, B. (1975).
