Please read the following case study and answer the questions to the best of your ability.

Case 20.1: Developing Dave's Service Plan

Dave is a 49-year-old bartender who is currently going through a divorce initiated by his wife. Dave and his wife have two children: a boy, aged 6 and a girl, aged 9. Dave states that he and his wife decided to separate and then divorce after his wife complained on numerous occasions about his work responsibilities. He states that his wife told him that his work hours and the social contacts he made as a result of his job at the bar were incompatible with the kind of family life she wanted for herself and her children. Dave co-owns his home with his wife and is letting her have the house for the sake of the children. He has taken up with a woman who frequents his bar and recently moved in with her in a different part of the town, "giving me a place to put my things."

Dave is requesting help in restoring his marriage and is looking for marriage counseling. He is not sure his wife will agree. Additionally, Dave wants help in considering alternative training or education so that he is no longer dependent on his skills as a bartender for his income.

Dave has a high school diploma and has completed four college courses, all of them general education courses. Dave has a close relationship with his sister who lives in the same part of the town where he is currently living. "She gives me a lot of support." He is a member of the St. Paul's Methodist church but has not been to church in over a year. Dave indicates that he joined the church in order to please his wife but never got much out of going there, though he likes the minister at the church. Dave describes his relationship with his daughter as close. Since he left, his daughter calls him every night to go over homework. Unfortunately, his work schedule often cuts these calls short or he is not able to take the calls.

Dave is willing to begin seeing a counselor on his own in the hope that his wife will join him at some point.
