is at the forefront of Mike’s objectives. In therapy, the development of Mike’s identity as it pertains to the many different systems that he is subject to is a goal throughout therapy. Understanding his purpose, value and meaning in life is a foundational factor to which his other goals will build upon through his time in the PSR program. Because he has the privilege of long-term therapy by being part of the PSR program, the long-term goals of EH therapy and phenomenology are appropriate and…

This study had 42 participants that were split up into groups of three to four to participate in the riding lessons. The lessons were focused on the individual’s therapy and their horsemanship.

I believe that Mr. Rachels would agree with my argument above. In his article titled “Active and Passive Euthanasia,” he explains two scenarios; a case involving a patient with incurable throat cancer, and another involving a baby with Down’s syndrome and a easily treatable intestinal blockage. Though these arguments cover a wide range of cases, they don’t appear to apply to Ms. Reese’s case. Throughout James Rachels’ discussion of the morality of active versus passive euthanasia, he fails to…

engaging yet, but the humanistic approach is preferred. I like both existential and person center therapy. Humanistic theories and Carl Roger attracted most of my attention when I learned about them in my undergraduate courses; I knew this would be the theory that I want to pursue. After learning about various humanistic therapies, existential therapy and person center therapy are the two therapies that stand out the most to me. One of the main reason is that I believe people can only change…
to the outcome of therapy sessions. The strong the alliance or relationship between the therapist and client the more successful or positive the results of therapy will be for the client (Falkenstrom, Granstrom, &, Holmqvist, 2013),(Whinston,Rossier, & Baron, 2016)(Sackett & Lawson, 2014). What more important is the client’s perception or measure of the strength of the alliance.

For instance, Pantalone, Iwamasa, Martell (2010), stated that multicultural therapy and CBT are easily adaptable because these two approaches are based on the idea that case conceptualization must be individualized. Also, Hays and Iwamasa (2006), in their book, identified and explained the most significant factors (spirituality,…
