PSYC 1F90 Unit #11 Assignment Worksheet Student Name: Cadance Humphrys Student Number: 7133680 TA: Mick Power Please see the instructions for completing the Unit #11 Assignment in SAKAI and answer the questions in the corresponding section of the worksheet below. Question Answer Mark 1. In the case study, Janet expressed that she felt that she blamed herself for the divorce. She would then use this failed marriage and applied it to her other relationships in her life. This negative experience between her and her ex-husband would affect the way she saw her other relationships. Janet would use this excuse of failed marriage and overgeneralized this situation and compared it to other unrelated situations. /2 2a. One example of her thinking that she needs to be important to everyone in her life, if not then she’s worthless, would be her failed marriage. Her reaction to her failed marriage, isolating herself from her friends and family and being only with her children. She also dropped out of school and expressed that after the divorce she was getting depressed. Her reaction to the divorce made her feel like her life was worthless. /2 2b. In the case study, an example of the embodiment of the phrase it is easier to avoid responsibilities than face them would be the fact that she had let her child sleep in her bed with him after constantly fighting with him to sleep in his own bed. She would admit she felt guilty fulfilling demands from a 5-year-old, but she had thought this would be the only way she would be able to sleep. In this example, she is avoiding her responsibility to parent her child because it is easier this way. /2 3a. In the case study, when Adam is giving Janet trouble when it comes to bedtime, giving him a glass of water and then putting him to bed would be positive reinforcement. This action to give him water is a reward, by continuing this reward before bed, this will support the behavior. /2 3b. In the case study, if the positive reinforcement continues for 10 days straight, this will support nonreinforcement and extinction. This is because after this long period of time of Janet not letting Adam sleep in her room, after a long time he will stop the wining all together because he realizes he will not get what he wants with this response to not sleeping in her room. /2

4. To ask a question in the way a client-centered therapist would from the topic of how she feels about her failed marriage, I would start by saying “In the topic of your failed marriage, you explained earlier that you felt the marriage failed because you do not share the same interests in sports, he did not spend enough time with his appearance and you would bring up things that would annoy or bug you in the relationship that he did not want to talk about.” This would cover the repetition part of client-centered therapy. This shows that the therapist was listening and explaining the feelings of the client. Then I would say “It would not be your fault for not liking sports, or the fact that he did not spend enough time on his appearance. Expressing your feelings about your marriage and communicating with your partner is a healthy practice between your partners. I would express that there was a reason the marriage happened in the first place and maybe some people grow apart, and that is not your fault.” This expresses that I understand how the client is feeling and reassuring her that her failed marriage should not be blamed on herself. /3 5. I would personally like to use client-centered therapy with Janet because I think she lacks support in many aspects of her life. Part of that might be her fault from isolating herself from her family and friends. But she is going through tough times between her divorce, dropping out of school and trying to raise her son. Depression can be a high factor with all the things going on in her life. Using client- centered therapy can help her realize that people are listening to her and she has people in her corner. /2 Total Mark [/15] Percentage Mark (X ÷21 X 100) [/100] Late Penalty (5% per day if applicable) Final Percentage Mark [/100]
