Carl Roger’s person-centered approach views people as basically good, social, and practical, but that when their basic needs are not met they exhibit frustration and negative emotions (Henderson & Thompson, 2011). Further, counselors who work with this approach believe that people have the ability to manage their own feelings, actions, and thoughts (Henderson & Thompson, 2011). This approach allows the client to understand that they are competent (Henderson & Thompson, 2011). Further, Roger’s person-centered approach focuses on three concepts that help a person to gain a better sense of self; which are person, world, and self (Henderson & Thompson, 2011). The concept of person focuses on the person’s need to satisfy their needs; world focuses…

The general Cognitive-Behavioral based theory can assist in understanding the maladaptive behaviors that members of the Martinez family have developed. The foundation of this theory indicates that Evelyn and Tony have a distorted belief system that has “plagued” their relations with each other (Nichols, 2013). Their assumptions regarding their roles and about life expectations in general has poisoned their relationships and they merely communicate emotionally and behaviorally; often neglecting to think rationally to lessen their symptoms or work towards solving their problems. With Evelyn’s belief that her husband is to blame and has “unfixable” traits, she is unable to think of ways she can solve the family’s problems. Regarding Tony, he has…

Low Self-esteem and Compromising Behaviors Among Adolescents Self esteem issues in adolescents is a hugely common issue, but there are rarely any studies done to examine how it has an effect on an adolescent’s life. This is an important area to research because knowing more about what drives adolescents to make poor choices can help educate and help teens that may be more at risk. Adolescents with low self esteem are perceived as more likely to fall victim to peer pressure and therefore engage in risky behaviors. The purpose of this journal is to understand whether adolescents with low self esteem are more likely to engage in inappropriate behaviors such as early sexual activity, drug use, and poor nutrition and hygiene habits by using various…
“Life Coaching: A Cognitive Behavioural Approach” Summary Michael Neenan and Windy Dryden, the authors of “Life Coaching: A cognitive behavioural approach, second edition” (2014) offer a pragmatic, evidence-based method of coaching based on the concept of cognitive behavioral therapy. The authors discuss the sequence of emotional causation and how—in fact—one’s thoughts affect one’s emotion and thus, one’s behavior. Neenan and Dryden (2014) report that most coaching clients have an external attribution style regarding their emotions (i.e. - they embrace the misconception that other people or events are responsible for how they feel). To substantiate this, the authors give reference to Dr. Albert Ellis’ ABC model that explains how emotional upset—in relation to negative events—is shaped by the thoughts or beliefs concerning the event, which has a greater impact than the event itself.…

In many ways, his experiences negatively influence his future, but in other small ways, his childhood left him with a unique perspective. He values family over everything. This story displays his love for Laura, and how he felt about losing her.…
Mental illness is not a game to be played, because in the end everyone loses. In 2014, nearly 1 in 5 people are diagnosed with some type of mental disorder(Bekiempis). Most people just look at a mental person and assume they can't get better, and throw them into a mental hospital. A recent article in the New York Times newspaper by Andrew Solomon introduced a new type of virtual reality, called the Fear VR 5150. The creators of this specifically put this as the name, because 5150 is “ the California psychiatric involuntary commitment code, used for a mentally ill person who is deemed a danger to himself or others.…
