Family systems theory is useful when working with families who are impacted by an ASD diagnosis. The family systems theory focuses on the shift of an individual perspective to a family systems perspective. Family is the most important support system for a child. Family is looked at as a unit, therefore by using the family systems theory the professionals are able to identify the family’s influences on the individual. The family system impacts a child’s development as family members affect the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of one another (Paylo, 2011).

The Family Crucible, written by Augustus Napier and Carl Whitaker (1978), exemplifies a fragmented family system. The family consists of David a VIP lawyer, Carolyn an angry mother, Claudia an enraged teenager, Don the 11-year-old peacemaker, and six-year-old Laura. Co-therapists, Napier and Whitaker have taken on the task of working with the family using a systemic approach to conceptualize the family’s difficulties. Herein, this writer will describe how Whitaker and Napier depict the family struggles, how these struggles relate to the family unit in deference to an individual focus, and how

In this reflective essay I will provide an analysis of the counselling session I conducted and recorded. This will include a summary of the session. I will also describe the micro and advanced counselling skills utalised, as well as a critical evaluation of their effectiveness.

When comparing and contrasting the differences in the three approaches, I will review the relationship between client and counsellor. I will attempt to discover how the relationship is formed and how it is maintained during the therapeutic process. Once this has been established, I will then look at how the changes occur in the therapeutic relationship and which techniques will be used. I will compare and contrast the approaches of Carl Rogers, Sigmund Freud and Albert Ellis. I will look at how their theories have impacted on the counselling processes in modern times and throughout history.

The essay will evaluate the necessity and importance of the development of the core conditions in the counselling process and critically analyse the strengths and weaknesses of the person-centred approach on the counselling process.

The manifestation of Natalie's disorder in the book is evident in her mannerisms, she holds her mouth too open and her shoulders uneven. When she is agitated, she has the habit of digging her chin viciously into her collarbone. Natalie has an amzing understanding of all things having to do with numbers. She can solve complex math problems spontaneously in her head, loves studying the indexes of books, and can spend hours making intricate patterns with buttons or pebbles. However, she never smiles and she rarely looks directly at people. She is prone to screaming, having tantrums and ordinarily parrots the words of others or speaks in single words or short phrases. Although it is extremely difficult for her, she tries hard to communicate in a normal manner with those around her. A seven year old character in the book fittingly describes her as "Natalie lives in her own world...sometimes it's a good world and sometimes it's a bad world. And sometimes she can get out and sometimes she

Intimacy vs. Isolation which occurs in young adulthood, we explore relationships with people other than our family members. Successful completion of this stage can result in happy relationships, with a sense of safety and love within the relationship. Although Delilah was hoping for a loving and caring marriage with Robert, she was deeply disappointed when their relationship didn’t turn out the way she had dreamed about. She had almost childish expectations of what a marriage should look like. She separated from Robert during Erikson’s seventh stage which most people settle down in their relationships. She also left her children and moved to a different city. She was running from the life she knew, because of the mental abuse she suffered. Now that Robert has passed she admits to regrets she has concerning their relationship and she is getting treated for depression. Robert passed away after a big fight they had, although they apologized to each other after the fight she still feels bad for the things that were

She is not able to see her baby or have human contact with her husband, which shows the bad relationship between the narrator and her family. The narrator has to do what her husband says not only because he is a physician but because he is her husband. She repeatedly asks herself “what can one do” in response to her husband because she feels that she has no say in her own health. She does not get to see her family as much because her husband believes that is too stressful for her, which makes the narrator be even more isolated. The narrator also has a bad relationship with her brother and Jennie, her sister-in-law.

When they both got married they were working in an office setting at a credit card company. Working at that low paying job she felt that she wasn’t happy the way life was taking her. She feared

This essay will be looking at the broader aspects of individual fear and sadness. I will be doing so by analysing a fictitious client case study from the counsellor/psychotherapist’s perspective. Systemic and sociocultural approaches to counselling and psychotherapy will be considered in the context of the client’s case and needs. I will start by giving a brief outlook of the client and the client’s story; this will consist of detailing the client’s family dynamics, peers, cultural environment and wider social circles. Furthermore, I will be exploring relationship issues and determination of the need for therapy. Finally, to show how a counsellor or psychotherapist would put the systemic and sociocultural approaches into practise I will be
