A Client Scenario For A Human Development Class At Tarleton State University

Human Service professional must adhere to certain ethical standards in the course of their duty. Firstly, they should always recognize the client’s strengths and build greater strength to help them find a solution to their problems. In the case at hand, the human service professional could rely on the fact that Reggie is motivated to be independent. It also follows that he was independent from a very young age to help him establish a lasing source of income. Todd, on the other hand, has managed to contain his addiction fairly well. The professional could use this as a point of departure to help Todd quit

The Specialization chosen is addiction counseling. This paper will cover the key aspects of addiction counseling which include biological, psychological and physical aspects. As well as medical and social aspects of addiction and counseling. Addiction counseling must adhere to strict ethical codes, and the counselors need to have an understanding of addiction, and have knowledge in the various types of treatment programs.

Dear Past Murray, this is your present-day self. I am writing this letter to help guide you in your journey through the Masters of Counselling graduate program. You are going to experience a fundamental shift in your perspectives on human nature and the nature of change. Currently, your point of view and insights are limited to a behaviorist context (Skinner, 2012) and to a behavior analysis approach (Fee, A., Schrieber, E, Nobel, N. Valdovinos, M, 2016). This has served you well in your work with youth and young adults with challenging behaviors. However, as you start this journey you have started to ask yourself what theory to follow. The answer to this question will be found when you take a step back from the various models of counselling to look at what really makes a difference to client outcomes and to develop a

This paper will focus on the case conceptualization and treatment planning for the client. Through offering the client's case history this will allow the reader a better understanding of how certain theories would be more effective. This writer will delve into detail regarding the client's presenting concerns and explain the hypothesis regarding such problems. By providing this hypothesis, this writer will explore and apply Object Relations Theory as it relates to the client’s issues. After developing this case conceptualization, goals and interventions will be created for the client. This writer will delve into the psychodynamic approaches that

I think he is uses marijuana and possibly other drugs to cope with his brother’s suicide. Another one of my other students used drugs and alcohol to cope with her traumatic experience. One day she was explaining to me why she had failed the 8th grade last year and she told me that she had been sexually assaulted by a family member and was removed from her home and put into foster care and then she started turning to drugs and alcohol which led her to failing. Even though I cannot formally counsel my students I do listen to my students and try to help them and be there as much as I can for them.

The author then stated, “Tony had already joint that statistic [dropping out of school in Baltimore City]; Mary wanted to keep Wes away from the same fate” (pg. 57). As a way to keep him away from the drug world, Mary moved the family to Dundee Village. It was during this time that Wes Moore had his first experience of the distribution of drugs. Tony watched after Wes and tried his best to warn him about the dangers in the drug world and told him to stay out of it; however, the appeal of money drew Wes in like a moth drawn to a flame. Whereas, the author, continued to grow up in a negative neighborhood and managed to stay away from drugs as best as he could in that setting.

There are numerous ethical issues a counselor must confront during their work; dual relationships and confidentiality being two of them and are going to be discussed here. Both are important to both the client and the profession, as they set the expectations for how counselors are to act professionally (Miller, 2015). Ethical principles “direct the moral and value-based decisions that affect the counseling process” (p. 557). Without them, the profession lacks these moral and value-based directives and the ship that is “addiction counseling” has no rudder. It is directionless and adrift.

Mel grew up in an dysfunctional family, that sexually abused young adolescent children as the normal routine. Around the age 15 is when young Mel started to engage in marijuana, one of the possible reasons Mel could have started using the illegal substance is because he was sexually abused at the age of 15. According to (Victims of Crime, 2015) their statistics showed 60% of adolescents are sexually assaulted by someone in their community circle; therefore, the expression stranger danger is a bit deceptive. The thought of knowing that for many year’s educators, mothers, and caregivers have been schooling teenagers to stay away from unfamiliar individuals; all along, the real message that should have been drilled in children is to stay away from anyone who carries a threat of safety, this includes family as well (Tate, 2015).

He has already been through rehab once but quickly relapsed. He doesn't look at his life as failed yet and truly believes drugs are the right choice. At one point, Sheff writes “ ‘Goddamn, Goddamn’ I say… really, I mean, there’s no feeling like it. The high is perfection.” (pg.13) As bad as it sounds, the
