Rough Draft Discussion Huss125 Week5 Jamie is a 17- year-old female who has recently been struggling in her life. Her parents divorced. from each other had since both remarried, leaving Jamie feeling alienated from her mother. She currently does not speak to her biological father since her parents have divorced and he moved out of the state. Concerns have been brought to attention about Jamie’s current lifestyle. and his current behavior. She has since distanced herself from everyone, her grades are. declining, her attitude has changed significantly, she has limited social groups, and has newly. gravitated to drug-using peers. She does acknowledge and admits to wanting to have a better relationship with her mother but feels at her stepfather is constantly in the way and she blames. stepfather for her actions. When it comes to what I would share with Jamie within our first Session. When it comes to what I would share with Jamie within our first session to develop a therapeutic relationship that is built on trust, honey, respect, and a non-judgmental environment, I would first share information about herself and just try to engage in just a normal conversation, without her feeling pressured to talk to me. I would be understanding with what she is sating, and I would also use some micro-skills when talking to her. I believe that Jamie could benefit from therapy, by learning ways to cope with issues she has. currently having and learning how to express positively how she is feeling and thinking. I think. that she could also benefit from therapy by not on having a better relationship with her mother, but her stepfather as well. I feel that if she learned how to cope and communicate her feelings. better, she would not be so withdrawn. When it comes to thinking about what kind of therapy, I would recommend Jamie and her. family, I am leaning more towards Cognitive Behavior Therapy Cognitive Behavior Therapy is. not a distinct treatment technique but is a group of therapies. Cognitive Behavior Therapy is a group of therapies that include rational emotive therapy, cognitive therapy, and dialectical. behavior therapy. Since Jamie is feeling alienated from her mother and believes it is because of her new stepfather, I believe this type of therapy will help deal with her emotions and adjust her.

Rough Draft Discussion Huss125 Week5 thoughts about the way she feels toward her mother. Cognitive behavior therapy will help Jamie. become aware of their behavior patterns. At the same time, I also think that Family Systems Therapy would help as well. I think this because not only will it help Jamie, but it will help her mother. and stepfather to all have a better relationship together. A concern about cognitive behavior therapy is that it tends to neglect the past perspective when addressing issues. Assessing the Situation When thinking about what basic listening skills that I may implement in the initial assessment with Jamie to find out more about her personal, academic, and family situations and why she was. referred to outside counseling, it took me a few minutes to figure out which three I would use. Personally, it would depend on how the conversation went with exactly what three skills I would. choose. After thinking about the skills, I would more than likely use open questions, encouragement, and closed questions. Closed questions are usually questions asked that require a minimal response, usually with a simple yes or no. When using close questions, the counselor can gain specific information and focus on the client. Evans, David, et al., 1998). The opposite of closed questions is open. questions. Open questions tend to encourage the client to speak and offer the counselor the chance to gather information. (Evans, David, et al., 1998). Now when using encouragers, all they are is a variety of variety and non-verbal ways of prompting clients to continue talking. There are. several types of encouragers which could be: . Non- verbal which is minimal responses such as a nod of the head or positive facial. expressions. . Verbal which is minimal responses that could include, “uh-huh, “I hear what you are.

Rough Draft Discussion Huss125 Week5 saying.” . Brief invitations to continue the conversation such as, “tell me more.” (Evans, David, et al., 1998). Some questions I would start off asking Jamie would be simple, I would ask her age, what. grade level is she in at school, does she like school, what does she like to do in her free time, What does she like to do for fun and then proceed to ask her if she had any questions about? myself. I feel that starting with the simple closed question, could a basic atmosphere and get. The communication started. Eventually, I would move on to other topics asking her how she feels about her parents, their divorce, their remarriages, her stepparent, and so on. While she would be talking to me, I would be encouraging her to simply tell me more about different. things, nodding my head, and other indicators that would let her know I am listening about. and paying attention to what she is saying. Jaimes Road To Happiness I think that the basic listening skills would be effective given this family’s unique dynamic. because not only would I be gaining more information, but I would be gaining information about Why Jamie feels the way she feels and is acting and doing the things she is doing. It is important. to get a better understanding of a person and how they feel, how they think and how think and how and why to act the way do that way, in the end, you can better understand. What technique and communication skills may work for one person may not work for another. So, it is important. to know to be able to communicate with a person, so miscommunication does not happen. When? using basic listening skills, a person can get a feel for a person and in the end, could get a better understanding of how to positively communicate with the client. Family Treatment Plan Goals For Jamie and her mother’s relationship to improve. The therapist will provide material on how to show love and affection.
