Explain and discuss control theory in relation to the four concepts central to the work of control theorists: privacy, personal space, territoriality, and crowding. How does understanding of these concepts help us to work more effectively with clients?
What will be an ideal response?
Privacy involves control over information about oneself and interactions with others. Some clients require more privacy than others, and recognizing differing needs can help us to individualize our work. Personal space needs vary with age and situation, and we need to be certain to respect a client's personal space needs, and in some cases, reassure them that it is appropriate to demand/expect personal space when some people do not respect it. Territoriality should be recognized by social workers in working with clients who may feel their territory has been invaded by others without recourse. Different groups also seem to show different reactions to crowding, and this can have an impact on client interactions and even mental health.
