    There’s much you can learn through reading about different psychological disorders and concepts. The book “First Person Plural: My Life as a Multiple” by Cameron West specifically explains the life of Cameron West living with Dissociative Identity Disorder. I chose this book because of my uncertainty and intrigue about DID and the everyday struggles of multiples. Because this book is based on the actual accounts of Cameron West, I felt I got a better understanding of DID and could really get a feel for the thoughts and feelings of this man through his journey of dealing and coming to terms with his disorder. At the end of the book, I had gone through a whirlwind of emotions from sadness because of Cams past to have developed DID to utter joy that he learned how to accept it and lived a happier life.…

    Interaction My initial response to the concept of forgiveness therapy for abuse survivors was that it seemed counter-intuitive, as it can be perceived to excuse the abusive behavior and invalidate the suffering of the victim. However, this impression fails to acknowledge the therapeutic definition of forgiveness as used in therapy, a release of resentment (Reed & Enright, 2006). Upon review of this definition of forgiveness therapy, I concluded that it was in line with other therapeutic ideals that encourage release of negative thought patterns and encourage the construction of positive thought patterns and behaviors.…

One assumption that is similar between both the resiliency model and focused brief therapy is that they both empower and encourage clients to choose and set their own goals for therapy or the counseling session (Riosalado, 2015). Another similarity among assumptions of the therapies are models consist of the belief that people can overcome challenges (Riosalado, 2015).

If consent was obtained, the counselor did not breach confidentiality by sharing information with the father, however, she acted unethically by not considering how this accusation could harm the father, who was also her client. As her client, the father has the same rights as his daughter.…
