Further, it appears that James has Sensory Integration challenges. A person with this condition has trouble receiving and responding to information that comes in through the senses. Some people with Sensory Integration disorder are oversensitive to things in their environment. Common sounds may be painful or overwhelming and activate a fight or flight response. James symptoms appear to fit the criteria for this disorder, specifically experiencing pain and feelings of being overwhelmed. Historical data show that when James becomes overwhelmed or experiences discomfort, he reacts physically and becomes volatile. This can be shocking to those around him because it appears random and are baffled by the behaviors.
James’ prior therapist reported the following with regard to his challenges with speech and getting his needs met through communication, “This does not come easily to him and he is often hard to understand”.
James’ file and reports from his previous provider indicate that his interactions are generally pleasant and appropriate with housemates, staff, and with professionals that work with him. He is low maintenance and is able to function
An attitude refers to a set of emotions, beliefs, and behaviors that is toward a person, thing, or life event. Therefore, attitudes can have an influence on the way a person behaves.

In the book, The Treatment by Suzanne Young, the main character, James, changed over the course of the book due to stress of staying away from ´ The Program´. Before, James had so much stress of being of the run he had many good character traits. For example, the begging of the book shows he's caring, ¨James only smiles at her, smoothing her hair.¨ (Young 39) This piece of evidence shows he is caring because he choice to take care of Lacey when her nose started to bleed instead of leave her alone.
One area in her life, Jan values and has also received personal growth is communication. The face to face connection is important to her as well as the words we use. During our interview, she shared a quote from F. S.

Inherently good I see violence as stemming from a desire to get something accomplished and that perpetrators do not inflict violence in order to purposely hurt someone but to get something themselves. It is a rare person who purposely inflicts harm on others, relishing in the resulting pain. From the brief description of James’ situation, I do not think he is motivated by suffering but rather that he insists on respect and clings to power. Based on this basic assumption, I think I would be able to work with James as I see him as a person with good in him, but doing some bad behaviours.
Looking deeper into James's personality my assumption would be that he is extroversion and Freud's theory of superego. Han Eysenck's view of personality traits is that they are inherited. He believes that there are two types of people we encounter extroversion and introversion. In reviewing Eysenck's information, there is two second-order factors extroversion and neuroticism. An extroversion viewed in terms of activity, sociability, risk-taking, impulsiveness, expressiveness, reflectiveness and

James is strict but still enjoys a back and forth conversation. He has a sarcastic edge and is funny. An example of this would be when Jemima arrived late for breakfast and he said, “How long have you lived in this house?” and later went on to say “And have you noticed, over those sixteen years, that breakfast in this house has always been at eight.” Even though he is funny, he is still

Communication is vital in life, whether it be from simply having a conversation with someone or trying to understand what they are saying and if a person has a speech disorder, that can make life very complicated. Children with speech disorders may have trouble producing sounds to use spoken language to communicate with people and may have trouble understanding what people are trying to say. Children with speech disorders may have problems with vocal quality, articulation, fluency, hearing, and intellectual abilities. Those difficulties that children may face due to speech disorders can potentially cause setbacks in their everyday life which is why Midlands Therapy Services tries to help children reach their full potential.

It has been proven that there are many other ways to help and even cure patients other than medicine. Ingestive Medicine can have some of the worst side effects on a persons body. Many natural remedies and just being able to talk to someone can tremendously help a mood or even help a mental illness as serious as Depression. “Therapists who are warmly accepting of their clients without conditions have a better outcome”(Goldstein1). I feel as if I am accepting of everyone I meet and help them no matter how helpless they feel. That is why I would like to become a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. Specializing in the cognitive area gives me the advantage to mentally and emotionally help my patients. No medication required. Using natural remedies
Although James exhibits care and concern for people with whom he has personal relationships, that care and concern can be disposed of after the most minor fault by the person in question, and he is not one to be forgiving. James is able to simulate an agreeable attitude when necessary for career and education purposes, or other areas in his life in which acting agreeable would directly benefit him. He is agreeable with those who he views as acquaintances, however, he is unwilling to maintain his agreeability in more intimate and important
