As time has passed it has become normal to see a single mother raising her child(ren). It is painful to see a single mother taking care of a son without a father because a women cannot teach a boy to be a man. Only a man can teach and nurture a boy into a man.

Humanistic Approach: The Idea people strive for self actualization ( a reason of fulfillment). Considering Jake may have not had a problem before college, and his anxiousness seemed to have started after taking harder courses for his major. The conclusion and diagnoses may have stemmed from the idea Jake feels like he isn't meeting the standards he set up for himself and not fulfilling his own goals. Therapy: Because the idea here is the most important thing is Jake's desire to fulfill and accomplish his goals.
Boyz N the Hood and Higher Learning Guidance from right and wrong is a vital tool necessary in shaping a young man/woman’s life. It is important to have positive guidance from our elders such as parents, teachers, and family in order to grow and mature in life. Bad guidance or no guidance as well can lead us on the wrong path because we will not be aware of our consequences of doing wrong or making mistakes. Two films that illustrate these principles are Boyz N the Hood and Higher Learning both directed by John Singleton. Boyz N the hood primarily revolves around 3 primary characters: Tre, Ricky, and Doughboy.

Communications are subsequently broken down. Positive relationships need to be nurtured and developed and do not happen by luck. They are built upon everyday with others and there are certain factors that help us maintain the positivity.

A negative outcome doesn’t provide the patient with either new knowledge or coping skills. The early the patient is in recovery, the more he/she may experience a crisis situation (Miller, 2010). In Gregory’s case, his increased alcohol consumption and the getting pulled over by the police placed him in crisis. These pressuring forces instilled in him the desire to become sober (Miller, 2010). Through the assistance of the counselor, Gregory can learn to deactivate the triggers of the crisis.
They said he did well at first, but seemed to have some psychological problems that were stemming from his home life. I later learned that he was in another foster home and did the same thing.
