If a patient needs treatment but they are not covered, that may motivate a counselor to place an incorrect billing code on an invoice to get paid for an non-covered service. While the counselor may believe this to be the best thing for the client, it is not ethically or legally allowed. This behavior actually hurts the industry as more regulation will be placed upon the counselor who will have to take more time to prove their compliance. That time they are using to prove compliance is time they are not seeing clients or generating revenue. One aspect of counseling that is very helpful is the licensure that is granted to counselors by the state.

This can include being denied opportunities such as employment or accommodation because of their illness. Stigma in the form of social distancing has been observed when people are unwilling to associate with a person with mental illness. This might include not allowing the person to provide childcare, or declining the offer of a date (Corrigan et al, 2001). Self-discrimination or internalised discrimination is the process in which people with mental health problems turn the stereotypes about mental illness adopted by the public, towards themselves.

Before explaining the role and importance of assessment and diagnosis in case conceptualization and treatment planning, assessment, diagnosis, case conceptualization and treatment planning should be defined. According to Erford (2010) assessment is the systematic gathering of information to understand the issues that bring people to counseling. Diagnosis is the identification of a problem that becomes the target of the counseling intervention. Case conceptualization refers to how professional counselors understand the nature of clients’ concerns, how and why the problems have developed, and the types of counseling interventions that would be helpful. Treatment planning provides a road map for the counseling process (Erford, 2010).
She wonders if this will solve their problems and get the relationship back on track, where he argues that it is on track; but he is just worried about the pregnancy. Jig is telling the man that she is willing do it, but only because she doesn't care about herself. She is expressing that she is in despair over the issue, and feels like she will lose everything.

Are people born gay? Discuss the extent to which homosexual behaviour can be explained by biological factors. An issue in biological psychology shrouded in controversy, and often associated with multiple prejudices, homosexuality is one of the least understood occurrences with the topic of sexual behaviour. The angles from which this subject has been approached by researchers have changed alongside social and judicial attitudes to persons who exhibit such behaviour, as well as diagnostic definitions within psychology. In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association made the decision to remove homosexuality as a disorder within sexual deviancy from the DSM-II.
Personal Model of Helping In choosing a personal model of helping clients assessing the pros and cons were considered before making a decision. Theories of counseling and psychotherapy provide several distinct uses for clinicians. In choosing one or more personal models of helping is based on this writer’s foundation and understanding of each model.

The model starts with breakdown where one partner becomes increasingly dissatisfied with the relationship. If dissatisfaction is sufficiently great, it leads to the intrapsychic phase. This is where the unsatisfied partner begins to think about the costs and rewards of the relationship. Hints about their dissatisfaction may be dropped, but will not be openly discussed. This then leads to the dyadic process, the dissatisfied person confronts their partner and explains why they are unhappy.
Fowler makes a point to Pyle about his attitude towards her interests and even tells Pyle he’d “rather ruin her and sleep with her, than… look after her damn interests.” Fowler is searching for someone simply to combat the loneliness he often describes to the reader. Pyle looks to Phuong to be a long-time partner and wants to start a family with her. However, Pyle insists that “she can’t be (happy) – not in her situation” and claims “she needs children”. Whether he’s right or not on that point, he just wants what he thinks is best for Phuong. Pyle actually cares about her interests, which is ironic, as Fowler has the ability to actually communicate and speak to Phuong whereas Pyle speaks very little French and can’t actually hold a conversation with her.
