Hostage or Non-Hostage

In the perfect world, people would have a life manual in which people had life’s lessons on what dos and not dos. Luckily, there are novels written by people that explain their problems and what they could have done differently if they had a chance. One of those books is “Tuesdays with Morrie: an old man, a young man, and life’s greatest lesson.”, Mitchell Albom displays the importance of nonverbal communication, how to maintain relationships and “life’s greatest lessons” that are received from advising others in their problems.

In Crisis intervention I used practical tasks to help Ms W readjust, but an important aspect was her emotional response and long-term changes in her capacity to deal with everyday problems. A timely, therapeutic response prevented a severe breakdown in family relationships and restored adequate functioning. It is at this time that Ms W was open to intervention. Aside from releasing a good deal of emotion around the grief of her mother, Ms W was able to release anxiety and fear of failure as a parent, and mental health issues due to her loneliness and depression. By intervening in a timely manner and by assisting Ms W in overcoming situational factors, which led to the crisis, stabilization occurred within a few weeks. Golan (1978:102) thinks tasks is important in crisis, but she does not use “task” in the same way as task centered theory does. Here, it is an emotionally or socially necessary role in the client’s life, something that must be gone through to achieve reintegration.

Jayawickreme, Foa, Sposato, and Williams, (2012) suggests that the ordeal of a stressful incident can have an undesirable influence on the manner people contemplate and perceive their individuality, other people, and the domain in which they reside. Point of view and emotional state are frequently correlated; therefore, trauma awareness may perform a part in choosing an

Feeling thwarted in every effort to set circumstances right, in my life - not between us, becomes intense with patterns and connections. Illuminating my mind, emulating the strings from ballistics in a crime scene, or worse, a schizophrenic’s garage, complete with wall covered newspaper clippings and red marker lines that model no reality but chaos. My connections are evidence based, empirically proven models of physical systems; my subjective realizations were at least based on such arrangements and configurations, architectures and harmonies. Between the visits to the women trying to help me I have assignments. The next two weeks include writing my strengths, progress in the past year, and compliments. One of those is your supportive, wonderful email that doling out strokes for learning proper grammar. That felt

On November 4th, 1979, a group of enraged of Islamic revolutionists invaded the United States Embassy in Tehran. They had taken 60 Americans hostage for 444 days until President Ronald Reagan had taken Oath of office. It was nearly minutes after Reagan had taken office that they were released. Ayatollah Khomeini enforced an anti-Western Islamic theocracy, overrode the pro-Western monarchy of the Shah of Iran. Iran had felt that the United States was interfering with their internal affairs. They feared that they would return the Shah to power. The Shah had fled to mexico and the doctors there had uncovered that he was suffering an aggressive cancer. With this recent discovery they pushed the Shah to be admitted into a

Through this tragedy, educators have learned a different approach to intruders. We teach students to think for themselves through a training program called ALICE: Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. There is no linear progression to ALICE. Through studies, we have learned the best chance for survival is to evacuate the building and run. ALICE teaches schools, teachers, and students how to respond in intruder situations. Schools all across the country including hundreds in our area conduct weekly ALICE drills. An example of items implemented from our ALICE trainings include: a method of communication to all teachers and students, increase in the number of school security cameras, door locking mechanisms on every classroom door to be used in the event that a classroom cannot evacuate and needs to “shelter in place” and finally, a go-bucket. Items in a go-bucket vary across schools but if you google the term you will see these items include: items to barricade a door, items to defend oneself, items such as wasp spray, which can

The client is aware of her emotions and how they affect her relationship with her husband and children. Her awareness of her unstable mental health situation will be useful later when these emotions are addressed in counseling.

Sixty students occupied the building for “as long as it takes”. Though mentioned above as being unwise, and normally in many cases I would agree, in the case of the demands of the “New School” occupation their demands were also the demands of the facility. Being that they were paying students, who were granted the right to make decisions such as the ones that they were demanding, that ultimately weren’t being met, their demands were justified. The way that they are going about the situation may take away from it or even devalue their demands but the foundation of all their actions I’m led to believe are in order. The best course of action for the “New School” occupation would be to not list their demands. The most dangerous occupation would be of one that demands nothing. Demanding nothing would tip the scale, it would force the police or administration to offer things to the occupation as a means to a safe end. This give them all the leverage. Until the proper reparations are offered and made the occupation would have every right to remain where they are. This goes with the text with their first problem was with them constantly attempting to negotiate rather than get comfortable and settle down into their occupation. Eventually after all hope is lost and those being opposed see no end they will have no choice but to adhere to your main demands as a means of an

In his 1979 state of the Union Address, President Jimmy Carter stated “We have no desire to be the world's policeman. But America does want to be the world's peacemaker.” However, nearing the end of Carter’s presidency the peace within the American Embassy located in Tehran, Iran was broken. 53 Americans were taken hostage by Iranian militants on November 4th 1979. The Iranian Hostage Crisis caused a loss of American confidence, caused Americans to view middle easterners differently forever, and also cost Jimmy Carter the chance of a second term.

In 1970 to 1990 I would like to see the Iran hostage crisis. The Iran hostage crisis, November 4th, 1979, was when Iran held 66 Americans citizens at us embassy in Tehran and held 52 people for 400 days, they were thought to have been American spies, they were finally released when Reagan was inaugurated. The Iran hostage crisis seems interesting and how when it became headlines on news everywhere than cater would stop the trade with Iran and freeze their assets in the us, they would do things in his power to help his country, when he could not have helped at all, but he stuck his neck out there to help. It would be scary yet interesting at the same time to see our people held hostage somewhere else.

When a group of radical Islamic students stormed the U.S. embassy in Iran and took the Americans working there hostage during the fall of 1979, the nation reacted with shock and outrage that far outweighed the necessary emotion for the situation. As David Farber writes in his book Taken Hostage, “The Iranian imbroglio, in fact, affected the American people less directly than any of the others…it happened faraway, and caused little immediate pain to any but the hostages…Yet, as measured by public concern, emotional outpouring, and simple fascination, the Iran hostage crisis captivated the American people more than any other of the era’s difficulties (1).” Why were Americans so impassioned about the crisis if it didn’t really affect them?

In the cognitive behaviour approach to counselling the use of potential outcomes of cognitive behaviour therapy, looking at the fact that there are emotional disorders that result from negative thoughts and thinking on unrealistic terms, and this in time can be altered by changing the unrealistic terms and negative thoughts to positive thoughts and realistic ideas. Rational emotional therapy is there to assist the client to make enlightened changes to themselves. In 1962 Ellis stated that “ human thinking and emotions are, in some of their essences, the same thing, and that by changing the former one does change the latter ( Dryden 2001). This would let the client to give up the demands of their own psyche, others and the world, and change it to suit their choices and to allow themselves to accept themselves for who they really are. If the counsellor can get the client to do this, they can experience healthy negative emotions such as sadness, concern and disappointment, while still retaining their desires, wishes and needs. The client will rarely experience unhealthy

There are many values this writer wishes to incorporate into a counseling relationship. The fundamental values this writer wishes to incorporate are: flexibility, self-awareness, self-regulation, and empathy. The ability to be flexible and alter what one does in order to fit the client’s needs is crucial to establishing and maintaining a therapeutic relationship. Flexibility can be demonstrated in many different ways, such as the way the therapist interacts with the client, the tone of voice that is utilized, down to the way the therapist provides material to the client. In being flexible, treatment is able to remain focused on the client and his or her needs (Egan, 2014).

This case study is about a couple, Mike and Sally that have recently lost their 6-year-old son to cancer. They have decided to get counseling because Mike is unsure how to help Sally, she is having a difficult time coping with this loss, she cannot register how a child can die before a parent. Mike is handling this loss differently, he feels like this is the life cycle, and doesn’t quite know what to do to help Sally. When speaking to this couple I would start with the ABC Model of Crisis Intervention which will help Sally and Mike get comfortable with speaking to me. “The ABC Model of Crisis Intervention is a method of conducting very brief mental-health interviews with clients whose functioning level has decreased following a psychosocial stressor” (Kanel,2015). There are three stages in the ABC Model of Crisis Intervention. Stage one in the ABC Model of Crisis Intervention is to develop and maintain rapport between the counselor and client. This means that the counselor does what they can to help the client feel at ease, some ways to do this are making eye contact, showing warmth, compassion and empathy to allow the client to feel that they are safe and can talk to the professional openly. When the clients feel more comfortable it makes it a safe place for them to talk about the issues they may be having at home. Establishing a good relationship with the client must consist of being supportive and not being judgmental. Once this goal is achieved we will be able to move

No man can be certain beyond a shadow of a doubt how he will react in any given situation. One can know how he would hope to react; however, until the circumstances are in place behavior can not be entirely predicted. A person’s reaction in the direst of moments is in fact the heart of who they are. While reactions are spontaneous, actions are not and the decisions to act or not to act
