Laying the Foundation for a Personal Model of therapy The model of therapy I have chosen is the experiential model, the Satir human growth model. This model is an experiential treatment method that is based on both humanistic and psychology perspectives (Gehart, 2014). The Satir could be considered as a transformational systemic therapy. I will conceptualize and design a course of treatment to perform for an individual from the chosen movie “Antowne Fisher.” This movie is about an individual who has anger management issues in the military and how his past cause his current dysfunction. The reason why I have chosen this model with this movie, is because this model explore many layer of emotional interactions, while at the same time this model maintain the focus on behavior and cognition, which is one of the main assumption and concepts of this particular model. The Satir human growth model is a model that target many layers of emotional exchanges between family members and significant other in relation to their current or present problems. One of the main focus in this model is on communication with warmth and support. Understanding the communication stances in the Satir growth model will create a positive means of conceptualizing knowing what is optimum way for the therapist to …show more content…

One can easily compare my brother, Andrew, interpersonal conflict with this model. The model consists of the two most important aspects of a conflict, communication behaviors, and the perception of those behaviors. The communication behaviors that existed within Andrew interpersonal conflict were obviously differences between both parties. My brother, Andrew, felt attacked and betrayed by his friends and family, so his communication was very selective. When Andrew would speak to the other party (friends and family) he would lash out by yelling and screaming. Whereas, the communication behaviors among Andrew’s friends and my family was claim but aggressive. They showed their true emotions, even though those emotions hurt Andrew severely. They were brutally honest and they did not back down. They made sure that their message was
According to Glasser (1965), “reality therapy is a treatment based on changing negative behavior, habits and relationships by focusing on the present or current situations.” An essential aspect of Reality Therapy focuses on the five needs of survival, love and belonging, achievement and power, independence and freedom, and fun, being essential for individuals to ascend through life and establish relationships (Content Guide 5, n.d.). The various techniques utilized during Reality Therapy include: exploring behavior as a focus of change, focusing on the present situation, the adolescent assumes responsibility, a friendly relationship exists between the therapist and patient, the therapist is patient with the individual, the individual considers their ability to change, and lastly the therapist takes into consideration specific factors that are in control of the individual (Content Guide 5, n.d.). In the video, we see the Dr. McFarland create a both friendly and comfortable environment where Adrianne is able to express her opinions and thoughts of her present situation with her parents. Dr. McFarland is also patient with Adrianne, and this is one of the strengths of Reality Therapy, since the way the questions are presented to Adrianne, for example “what are the things your parents need to see from you”, this allows Adrianne to take responsibility and focus on the present situation.

Erik Erikson formulated a model to understand the developmental tasks involved in the social and emotional development of children and teenagers which continues into adulthood. Each stage is regarded by Erikson as a “psychosocial crisis,” which arises and demands resolution before the next stage can be satisfactorily negotiated. Failure to successfully complete a stage can result in a

His contributions to human behavior have changed many of the theories that preceded him, and his theory contributed to many theories that followed. I want to explore Client/Person Centered Therapy. This is a type of therapy that was pioneered by Carl Rogers. This therapy is different because as the name suggests it solely focuses on the client. ' In focusing on the client, the client’s feelings are deeply explored.

Next, we will discuss key concepts involved in Reality Therapy. Then it will explain the various techniques used in this form of therapy. It will then analyze the target population. Finally, it will develop a scenario, using reality therapy, as a basis to present a hypothetical patient, as a counselor discussing the strategies that would be used to counsel this client. Thesis Statement: Does one’s past define his or her future?
In today's society, individual counseling is becoming more main-stream with increased usage within the school system, family unit and even the military. The role that a counselor can have on any individual varies according to the chosen theory to practice and the approach taken. However, it must be stated that the approach and success of therapy is dependent on the relationship established by the therapist (clinician) with the client. In 2010 Seligman proposed the BETA treatment system, which stands for background, emotions, thoughts, and actions. According to Seligman, all theories are either focused on a person’s background, emotions, thoughts or their actions. For this reason, we will discuss three prominent forms of individual counseling therapy used today. The three types of therapy are Adlerian Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. The following paper will seek to introduce the key concepts, therapeutic approach, and application of various techniques, or procedures for each of these practices.
When Gestalt theory is applied to taking of responsibility for problematic life experiences, the experiential work lies in assisting the client in taking ownership, self-examination, then making choices and resolving difficulties. When theory is applied to a play therapy relationship, the therapist enters into a partnership with the child, in a process where goals focus on empowerment of the child. This process is described in Oaklander, (2011). “Anger is the most misunderstood of all the human emotions. We tend to think of anger as basically distasteful and abhorrent -- something that we would rather not experience.” Oaklander posits that anger is a direct and unique expression of self, and the basic attempt to defend an inner personal boundary.
This therapy is based off of Carl Rogers’s belief that everyone strives to be the best they can be, and reach their maximum potential. He explains a therapist has to encourage certain characteristics in order to reach a certain

The group of four year olds find this difficult due to their developmental stage and there is more aggression and accretion showing. The group of five year olds are showing more socially complex behaviour but some struggled to regulate their emotions which caused a paucity of control. The g...
From preschool into early elementary school, children have begun to develop their gross motor skills. They have developed a “mature pattern of walking” and are ready to test their physical abilities to the limits. Also fine motor skills have begun to develop, however more slowly. Along with motor skills children are developing their visual, tactile, and kinesthetic senses. A child’s sensory skills are helpful in learning language.
