It raised the client’s awareness about the inconsistence between her words and behaviors and encouraged her to think about her level of satisfaction in the relationship; on the other hand, it helped the worker to explore deeply her feelings about the relationship. As a matter of fact, studies indicate that challenges can lead to clients’ resistance and are infrequently used in the counseling sessions (e.g. Olson & Clariborn, 1990; Barkham & Shapiro, 1986). However, other studies show that challenges, if presented appropriately, can be helpful to therapeutic relationship (Cloud & Townsand, 2003; Hill, 2004; Culley & Bond, 2004). Here the essay aims to discuss why using challenges in an appropriate manner can be helpful to therapeutic relationship and facilitate the case progress.
On the other hand, if a psychologist would take a behavioral approach, which focuses on behavioral responses, followed by enjoyable consequences being enforced or strengthened. He might believe that Jake has not done well on his first exam and has not received the positive consequence of success, which made him feel anxious instead of happy. He would probably tell Jake to study and then take practice tests until he succeeds in all of the possible questions, so studying will bring about success and favorable consequences, reinforcing good study habits. Another psychologist who takes a cognitive approach, which focuses on how people remember, store, and use information, might suggest that Jake’s study habits need to be reevaluated. Jake may need to take a different approach to studying in order to remember and apply information learned correctly.
Antonio and Atticus do anything for their loved ones even if it may affect them negatively in some way. They put others before themselves. When Link Deas tells Atticus that he’s got everything to lose from the trial, Atticus disagrees with him and keeps his mind set on defending Tom, since he knows that it’s the best to do both for Tom and Maycomb. “Link, that boy might go to the chair, but he’s not going till’ the truth’s told” (Lee 146) Even though Atticus knows that he is putting his children at risk of Bob Ewell, he defends Tom because he wants to show Maycomb the truth about racism. The same implies when Bassanio tells Antonio that he would do anything for him.
Willy Loman and the Common Misconception of the “American Dream” Throughout Arthur Miller’s play, Death of a Salesman, Willy Loman chases after the popular “American Dream” of the 1900s-to be a successful businessman with the white picket fence around your house, modern technology (such as cars and refrigerators), and the satisfaction of being able to provide for your own family. Unfortunately, this chase causes the Loman family to fail in their jobs and eventually leads Willy to commit suicide. It is easy to blame Willy for his death by simply calling him crazy, however there are many different factors that added to Willy’s fragile state. Fred Ripkoff states that in order to understand the identity crisis of Loman (and other Miller characters), that “it is necessary to understand shame’s relationship to guilt and identity.” (1). Willy struggled with finding his identity because he was so caught up in his chase for his “American Dream”.

"You will die, Siddhartha." "I will die." This conversation between Siddhartha and his father explains what depths Siddhartha would go to to start his journey to enlightenment and happiness. Doing what he thought would be best for him, Siddhartha stood up against his father to pursue his goal. Both of these examples demonstrate that the journey may be difficult at times, and the consequences may be challenging at first, but the goal is worth the
The reader can understand the relationship between father and son by simply reading the salutation. Chesterfield directly refers to his son as, “boy,” this shows his lack of respect for him along with his absence of familial weakness to him in contrast to his wife, which he states further on in the letter. Another example of diction that shows his values is how he repeatedly reminds his son that he is young; this is used to belittle his son and make his advice carry more weight. Last, he uses the word, “friend,” to give the tone in which he wishes to give his advice. He sought to give advice as a peer rather than a parent, which shows his devotion to his son because he is not acting like the dominant father he very clearly is.

NOTES FOR INTERVIEW 2 Supporting the Underacheiving Student The aim of this article is to support and enable the mentor to critically reflect on the processes involved in supporting and managing a learner who is failing to meet the NMC proficiencies for registration, developing an action plan to resolve this situation. This can be used as portfolio evidence for your personal development plan. Learning Outcomes: On completion of this workshop you should be able to: * Identify and critically reflect on the common behaviours of the underachieving student. * Utilise a problem solving approach to construct an Action Plan to support the learning needs of an underachieving student. * Based on the best evidence, consider the implications of failing a student * Critically reflect on the consequences of “Failing to Fail” Demonstrate recordable evidence of mentorship update which is relevant to remain on the mentor register database Identifying the Underachieving Student: Most students successfully achieve their learning outcomes on placement.
Behaviorists believe that a person’s environment is what determines their behavior, so the first step to treating a patient with this approach would be studying their environment to search for triggers of anxiety. In Jake’s case, it is pretty clear that the difficulty of his classes is a cause of stress. But why is that difficulty viewed as a threat, instead of a constructive challenge or an opportunity to learn? Because the possible rewards or punishments in his situation are too extreme, and causing his to feel as though the successfulness of his future is dependent on his success in these classes. In order for Jake to feel less anxious about his performance in these classes, the rewards for his good or bad performance in the class need to be altered.
