When looking at coping with change it is not possible to ignore some of the events which change our development, life events which cause significant change are called transitions (Jeffery, J in Aldridge, S & Rigby, S 2004). If these transitions are not prepared for, they can cause emotional difficulties or even physical illness. Counselling skills can be very effective at this stage as the helper needs to work out how to make the adjustment to these changes more satisfactory for the client, to lower the emotional distress. The counsellor has to first establish what kind of transition the client may be going through; Scholssberg (1989) in Aldridge, S & Rigby, S (2004) identified 4 different kinds of transitions: Anticipated, Unanticipated, Non-event transitions and chronic hassle transitions. Unanticipated transitions are unplanned and can be projected as a crisis; this was personally experienced when my parents got divorced.

In this report I will give several examples from my own and my colleagues practice. My colleague worked with a man who had a very poor speech following a stroke.
Concept of helping clients during the case management process The concept of helping clients during the case management process will reduce recidivism, enhance public safety, and promote success. The case management concept is complex because different components may happen at different times during the treatment process. Each individual is unique and different, so therefore, the treatment has to be different. Freeman (2001) stated, “The traditional case management plan calls for reduction of problematic symptoms by a certain percentage” (p. 77). Case managers are professionals who provide treatment and services to clients so they can live productive in society.
1120). A statement of specific implications is that Forgiveness therapy possibly will prove effective in the future for the reason that it gets to the heart of the problem for some clients. “Deep hurts borne out of unfair treatment seem to play a part in substance use and abuse”. Therefore it can be noted that substance use from this concept is a warning sign of “underlying resentments and related emotional disruptions” (Lin., et al, 2004 p. 1119-1120). Within the discussion there are specific suggestions for future research on comparison of Forgiveness therapy with other anger focused therapies.
