Couples

The movie I decided to choose is “Couples Retreat” (Billingsley, 2009). The couple I choose from the movie is Jason and Cynthia. The reason I chose them is due to the fact that they are the couple that wanted to go to the couples retreat, Eden (Billingsley, 2009). When the couple first started talking to the other couples about the retreat in the beginning of the movie, they discussed the whole reason as to why they wanted to go to this retreat and why they needed the other couples to participate (Billingsley, 2009). Jason and Cynthia had been thinking about getting a divorce (Billingsley, 2009). Previously, Jason had suffered from testicular cancer, which had put a strain on the relationship (Billingsley, 2009). On top of that, the couple had been trying to have a child for several years and Cynthia was not able to conceive (Billingsley, 2009). After nine years of marriage, the couple started to question where they were both going in life, what they both wanted out of the relationship, and if the relationship was indeed the right fit (Billingsley, 2009). The couple really wanted to save their relationship, so they looked into the best program for couple’s therapy (Billingsley, 2009). However, they were unable to afford it, unless they got the group package for four couples (Billingsley, 2009). The form of therapy I would choose to use with…

periods. Although plays, dramas and screenplays are not in the literary works category, they are frequently known to be comprised of these similar literary elements as well. This appears to be the case in Robert Frost’s famous poem, “Mending Wall” and Neil Simon’s well known drama, The Odd Couple. While these two writings are categorized in different groups, they share the comparable theme of limitations. It is a person’s civilized responsibility to, at all times, know their boundaries in…

I went to see “The Odd Couple (female version)” by Neil Simon at Brodniak Hall in Anacortes on November 12 and 19. The play was directed by Scott Burnett and two student directors: Cierra DeCamp and Helena Pleet. I went to see the show twice with different casts. The First cast was Angelina Sasso as Sylvie, Kathleen Farr as Mickey, Trinity Bean as Renee, Maddie Hering as Vera, Aaliyah Cervantes as Olive Madison, Cabry Biddle as Florence Unger, Scott Geer as Manolo, and Jonathan Pringle as Jesus.…

just like the early centuries where living standards of boarding schools were poor and physical punishments were common. Much can be said about the school but even more can be said about the headmaster and his wife. They are rich which is seen from the way they present themselves: “Shoes old but expensive—Russell and Bromley. (…) She’s not gone to any particular trouble—that’s just what she’d wear anyway.” (p. 2 ll. 54-56). It’s obvious that the headmaster’s wife dresses to standards and it’s…

Salkind Assignment 1 The article, The Clinical Representativeness of Couple Therapy Outcome Research Family Process by Wright et al., (2007) uses different statistical procedures such as ANOVA, mean, standardized deviation, probability, and correlation coefficient to support their hypothesis. The results from this study provide support to the hypothesis that clinical representativeness of couple therapy outcome studies is a meaningful construct and a reliably assessed by independent observers.…

Couples Interview Couples are an interesting family dynamic and, in this profession, counselors will experience working with many different types of couples. Personally, I have worked with couples who are enduring relationship difficulties. The challenges that they face are many, yet I believe counseling is a great resource for couples to discuss their issues with a third party and strengthen their relationship. I decided to interview a couple I know fairly well but wanted to learn more about…

In May of 2008, The Learning Channel (TLC) hosted a reality show called the Little Couple. The show is about Jen Arnold and William (Bill) Klein; they are two individuals that were born with skeletal dysplasia. Jen and Bill made the decision to document their lives on national television, so that other individuals could not only meet them in the privacy of their own homes; but, have the opportunity to understand their disease and it’s process. They also give the world the chance to take a close…

We've all seen it; while out at your favorite restaurant trying to enjoy your meal, that one couple in the corner who won't stop kissing. They act like they're in their own little world when in all reality, everyone is witnessing the spectacle of so called love. When this happens, it puts you off you meal and is just plain annoying. Thankfully, not all couples are like this. There are many couples in the world that are funny, rude, obnoxious, and every once in a great while, bearable. There are…
