Kennedy's Life Case Study

Lester is a 40-year-old man referred to me for counselling by his doctor. He is currently married and lives with his wife, Carolyn, and their 16-year-old daughter Jane. He is employed as a fast food attendant (Cohen, Jinks & Mendes, 1999). At the initial examination Lester dresses untidily and unshaven, and avoids eye contact. Lester reports an overall feeling of unhappiness (Cohen, Jinks & Mendes, 1999). He stated that he has become reckless and self-destructive and worried about some of his recent life decisions.

Ed Kennedy is an amazing character who has been through a lot of difficult things in his life. He is a high school dropout who lied about his age in order to get a job as a taxi driver. He rents an old shack to live in with his dog, the Doorman. He is so lonely that they drink coffee together every morning and eat together. He's in love with his friend Audrey but she refuses to love anyone and won't sleep with Ed because she "likes him too much." His father was a kind, gentle man, but an alcoholic who died six months ago. His mother is angry and bitter. His siblings are all over the place and are not really involved in his life in any way. He spends most of his free time with his friends playing cards and drinking. His mother thinks that he

Mr. Unger is approximately 55 years-old, is Caucasian-American, and recently separated from his wife with whom he has two school-aged children. He dresses impeccably in pressed suits and polished shoes. He is clean cut and shaven. His hair is cut short and is neatly parted to one side. He has a rigid and stiff posture. He displays rigidity in his thought content which are manifested in preoccupations with cleanliness and his family affairs. He is inflexible in his personality. His wife recently separated from him and called him “impossible to live with.” During their relationship he displayed a huge need to be in control by doing things such as re-cooking a meal she made because he felt he could do a better job or obsessive cleaning their apartment and complaining when she was messy. While he loved her very much and had a sense that he was annoying her, he is so inflexible in his personality that he was unable to make changes. Mr. Unger’s mood is normally elevated due to his obsessive-compulsive nature. He is generally pre-occupied with his job,

In John F. Kennedy’s inaugural speech, he utilizes numerous complex sentences. These are sentences that contain both a dependent and independent clause. Unlike a simple or compound sentence, many of the complex sentences contain a rhetorical device, and adds depth to make the speech more resound and interesting. It can also be used to apply emphasis to a certain topic. Near the beginning of the speech, Kennedy states, “We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom--symbolizing an end as well as a beginning--signifying renewal as well as chance” (Kennedy). Instead of splitting this complex sentence into individual sentences, Kennedy applies depth to his words. If he splits the sentences into separate, independent clauses,

During the second session, the family was provided individual opportunities to relate his or her perceptions of the struggles in the family. Using Claudia as the identified patient, the family related struggles directly associated with Claudia’s behavior (Nichols, 2013, p. 15). Whitaker (1978) conceptualized the issues in a different perspective stating, “sounds like Claudia is in charge of getting Mom and Dad to start fighting, and you and Laura are in charge of helping them stop” (p. 11). Whitaker also indicated the parallels involving Carolyn’s anger at Claudia for hiding in her room and David’s propensity to hide in his study (p. 11). Using the unconscious frame of reference from session one, another conceptualization that was presented was that of Don’s willingness to talk as the reason that the family had not wanted to bring him to the first session (p. 12).

John F. Kennedy did a lot for our country although his presidential term was cut short. He had a certain allure to him that Americans liked. Kennedy knew what to do to gain the votes of all different types of voters no matter their age, race, or religion. His campaign and presidency have inspired even today’s presidents and presidential candidates in multiple ways. John F. Kennedy was a spectacular man and president that brought a fresh feel to America and who left a legacy that will never be forgotten.

These words said by a powerful president, who had helped this country not only be successful but a very strong country. John F. Kennedy said these words to tell Americans, you need to care for your country not just yourself. John F. Kennedy was not only a president but he was in the U.S. Navy, which I think means he has pride in his country and was willing to do anything he could do to make it a better place. In chronological order I will discuss John F. Kennedy’s life, his problems and struggles that made him a stronger man, and Kennedy’s accomplishments that helped change this country and the world.

Furthermore, Dickerson focuses on displaying Kennedy’s strengths by comparing him to other candidates. For example, he says, “Dwight Eisenhower had run television ads in 1952, but Kennedy’s ads in West Virginia in 1960 were arguably the first pivotal TV spots in American electoral history (24).” This shows how even though Eisenhower was the first candidate to run television ads, Kennedy receives all the credit due to him being more successful. Dickerson also states how there was “almost no democrat who had done more” than Kennedy in preparing for the presidential race (15). This proves Dickerson’s point in showing how Kennedy was a candidate like no other. Kennedy had an ability to surpass every other candidate, which is why readers get the

Have we lost and forgotten legacy of John F. Kennedy or we continuing the dream portrayed by his inaugural address? Kennedy's inaugural address is considered by some to be ahead of its time. In fact, many of the problems addressed by his speech can still be applied to today's time. He addressed problems that we still see today, like the fight for equality many of these issues are still relevant today. My point is that even though the issues addressed by Kennedy have not been resolved, and might take decades to be solved, we are still in the path Kennedy wanted us to follow.

Oswald had always been a loner and an outsider. He had always been attracted to things that he liked to watch and wanted to become a Marine, learning Russian, defecting to Russia. After Oswald’s father died, his life went downhill after that, Psychologists believe that a child who lives in isolated life as Oswald did often sees the world as an adversary. He had a bad connection with his mother’s boyfriend because it was nothing but arguing and him watching all of it when he was little. Oswald

In the vignette, it is mentioned that the client Julie, a 34-year-old African American female, is calling about her son 12-year-old son Derik, who seems to be having an adjustment issue relating to her recent marriage to John. Although Julie indicated that she is calling on behalf of her son’s adjustment problem, she spends most of the time talking about her dissatisfaction at work and within her romantic life. When approaching this case through a solution-focused lens, I would stress to her that anyone who is concerned about the problem situation (Derik’s adjustment problem, although it is apparent there are other issues) should attend the sessions. In the initial intake phase, little information is taken, understanding that the client is the expert in what needs to change; as the therapist, my role is to help her access the strengths she already possesses.
