Role of a Mental Health Counselor The role of a counselor as a social advocate has been discussed in literature since the late 1800’s (Smith, Reynolds, & Rovnak, 2009). Social justice advocacy in counseling promotes the ideas of speaking for those who are underrepresented and works to eliminate systems that encourage discrimination and violate human rights (Smith et al., 2009). In the required reading, Moe (2010) states that there is a push to inject a social advocacy role into counseling to help with oppression of minority populations. In this paper, there will be the discussion of: how I see my role as it relates to advocacy and consultation, do I see consultation and advocacy as similar or different, how advocacy benefits the care provided to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families related to the specific specialty area that I plan to practice. Lastly, I will create a hypothetical situation of a child, adolescent, adult, couple, or family and address how counselors' knowledge of consultation and advocacy could interact with the progression of their counseling experience based on my area of specialization.
It is useful for highlighting why, in the working class, those who cannot achieve in education, they then therefore suffer from status frustration and in this process turn to other people who also cannot achieve in this institution. Thus, explaining why deviance subcultures exist. This theory of status frustration is said to focus too much on utilitarian crime which is committed for material gain, but what it does not say much about is the explanation for why people commit non-utilitarian crimes like vandalism and assault. Cohen realised this and backed up this explanation by talking about alternative status hierarchy. When working class boys find that they cannot perform well in mainstream education, they look at the values of not only the education system, but the values in modern society and turn them upside down, by valuing the opposite.
I would need to be careful not impose my values but clearly understand their values. There are several ways you can get them speaking about themselves by asking open ended questions. According to chapter 11 it would be a good idea to explore how satisfied they are with the current division of labor. (Feminist Perspective on Family Therapy) It is very important not to take a feminist view of the family. Families should be encourage to make their own decisions and it should be upheld by the therapist.
The overthrow of reading materials is defeat of creative thought. Books and periodicals are not the only ones being suppressed by pressures to the political and social systems. They are also being brought against the educational system, films, radio, television, and against the graphic and theatre arts. However or whenever these attacks occur, they usually fall at least one of the following categories: religion, war & peace (violence), sociology & race, language, drugs, sex, inappropriate adolescent behavior The word censorship probably would not exist today if all citizens agreed upon all things. This however is not possible for we are all unique individuals and have our own likes and dislikes.

Many people believe that is unfair that the illegal immigrants do not pay taxes and are getting and taking away jobs from other people. Others say that they are taking unwanted hard labor jobs so it does not matter. I learned that the solution of this problem is very complicated than I thought it would be. It is impossible for the pessimist to say to just deport all the illegal immigrants. It is also not fair just to let illegal immigrants just live the way as it is.
* The counselor must be qualified to counsel and be trained in the area of the client's need. Though sessions are pastoral in nature and orientation, sharing Scripture is not sufficient as a professional counseling venue. * The counselor must know her limitations and refrain from counseling those she is not trained to help. In that instance, a referral will be made to the appropriate

American Heritage defines counseling as “The act of exchanging opinions or ideas.” (Anderson, 2000 pp. 201). It is essential that the client feels free and comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas openly. If counseling is to work, there needs to be a free flow of information going both ways. If too much time is spent with the counselor talking, and giving advise, the client will not feel heard, and often will not be heard so the advise could be very wrong.
He says he accepts his church’s position on abortion, which is called “de fide doctrine” which also means “life begins at conception”. What I really liked about Joe Biden’s comment on this whole abortion topic is that he said he refuses to impose his position on others such as Muslims, Christians, and Jews. This may affect women more than men since Paul Ryan, on the other hand, is saying that the Romney administration will oppose abortion under certain circumstances. If Mitt Romney does become president, he will enforce the opposition of abortion and I don’t think it would right for him to tell women that they cannot control their own body. I definitely don’t like the idea of an abortion but I am pro choice and I strongly feel that it is a decision to be made between a woman and her doctor.
