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.

My first clinical interview with Joe was productive. I went over goals and objectives to pass through his phases. His responses were short and made very little eye contact. Joe was very quiet his first few weeks in program. He was compliant with staff and stayed on task with class work and actively engaged in group and individual therapy sessions. As he got comfortable with his peers and staff, he began showing his personality, which allowed me, as his milieu therapist, to begin helping him develop coping skills and teach him more appropriate behaviors when he would lose control of his emotions. His anger outbursts became more frequent, and some resulted in physical altercations with other peers. He was found with drugs and rumors of him selling drugs to other clients became an issue.

Through this course: Offender Rehabilitation (CRJS491), I learned that after understanding and conceptualizing what makes up an individual’s good life, future-oriented secondary goods directed at meeting primary goods in prosocial ways will then be developed in collaboration with the client and then converted into a GLM treatment and intervention plan. Based on this fact, I reiterated to Tony that I would like us to work together in order to find a lasting solution to his sexual issues. I continued to tell him that he needed to be as open minded and down to earth as he could be with me so that we could both find the solution that he needed. I went ahead to further ask him why he really wanted to be famous. Responding, Tony told me the lifestyle he received in his abusive home, especially from his Dad, had contributed immensely to his anti-social behavior.
