Nick Parry Morton’s Lodge CYP33 4.1 Abuse and neglect are forms of maltreatment of a child. Someone may abuse or neglect a child by inflicting harm or by failing to prevent harm. Children may be abused in a family or in an institutional or community setting, by people they know or by a stranger, for example, through the internet. They may be abused by one or more adults, or another child or children. Child abuse can have major long-term effects on all aspects of a child's health, development and well being.
These aspects play a role in how a person deals with life and different situations that they may go through. Being bullied and abused as a child is something that can change your life. In today’s society children deal with life threatening issues as well as adults. Child abuse and bullying are two of the tops cases of death and issues dealing with children. A child’s weak mind is unable to deal with such impacting and severe issues that have an effect on their daily life process.
The Systemic and Individual approach have both similarities and differences in treatments for clients. They both are interested in a clinets life story and agree that behavior affects both clients and those around them (Corey, 2017). However, the System appraoch finds that exploring family systems is more valuable than exploring an individuals experiances and perceptions. The systemic approach doesn't believe that change can occur unless the family system is altered. This is done by encouraging family memebers to attend therapy sessions with an individual.
In the article “On Developing our Empathic Capacities to Work InterCulturally and Inter – ethnically: Attempting a Map for personal and Professional Development” by Colin Lago (2010), he discusses how important it is for therapist to “have an understanding of how the socio-political environment influences and impinges upon the lives of those in minority groups.” This statement helps us to be aware of the differences and difficulties some of our clients maybe facing. Lago also says must be able to “contrast their own beliefs and attitudes to those clients in a non-judgemental way” to me, this implies that for a counsellors’ work to be fully effective we must accept anyone that enters our therapy room regardless of any differences. The article “Counselling Marginalised Young People: A qualitative analysis of young homeless people’s views of counselling” (Cormack, 2008) asks how young homeless people view counselling and how the profession can help meet their needs in order to be more effective. For this particular group the key issue was not (aside from the common preference for a female
The theories that I currently prefer are the family systems approach and solution focused therapy. I want to work with clients in family units from marriage to children so that is why I favor the family systems solutions. I think the family systems approach makes a lot of sense, in the sense that when one client is the "problematic" client it can disrupt the family as a whole. I believe that when dealing with clients you not only need to work on the problematic client but you also need to work on the surrounding factors and family members in order to "fix" the issues. In family therapy you have to pay attention to every thing from who sits next to whom, family balance, roles and communication styles and this challenge also intrigues my interest.
When a client is recovery, the recovery process does not just affect the client but those around them are affected as well, which is why there is the community reinforcement and family training. Recovery is a difficult process for the client as well as the family; therefore it is important for the family to have the capability to cope with the effects and side effects that are accompanied with the recovery process. There are instances where a client may have the urge to relapse; the cessations are not eliminated immediately. Therapy is an option in family recovery; therapy sets a pathway which allows the client to maintain change. I believe that the family recovery stages would allow the client in vignette one would be positive.
I tend to agree with our Module 1 lecture notes about which approach may be best for specific situations. For instance, when an individual wants to work on an issue that is specifically about him/herself that he/she has been trying to change, then individual therapy is likely preferable to family therapy. Conversely, when an issue or problems exists that is affecting the entire family, such as substance abuse, marital conflict, or family feuds, then family therapy is likely preferable (GCU, n. d.). Strategies can be learned in family therapy that can help with various issues. For instance, if communication is an issue, this can be addressed with family therapy, and the entire family should begin to understand what their expectations are and how to improve communication.
Abstract Divorce have many effects on children. Children are the most affected due to having to make difficult decisions in their lives. Divorce affects children of all ages, races, and sex. Divorce affects children educationally, emotionally, and psychologically. Males and females show their emotional feelings accordingly to how they would like to express their feelings.
The usual targets of this kind of violence are women that are most likely, injured. Children living in a household with IPV may not actually witness violent events but are nonetheless exposed to IPV through after-effects including the physical and / or psychological traumatic impacts on the victim. IPV exposure impacts these children and often results to negative short and long term behavioral, psychological, cognitive and social impacts on children. These children witnessing the violence sometimes get involved in the IPV by being caught in the conflict unintentionally or while stepping in to defend a parent being victimized. Children exposed to IPV are also likely to be victims of child maltreatment, as there is a high co-occurrence of both types of violence.
A child could also feel as if any adult that approaches then could be harm to them. There are also signs that you can tell when a parent is abusing the child. An example would be if a parent was talking about the child saying he and or she was very bad or "evil". Another reason why a parent would possible physically abuse a child would be because they were abused themselves when they were younger. Second, Neglect: when a child is being neglected he and or she is consistently dirty and smells really horrid.
