/in /by

Apart from succinctly describing the nature of change in humans, you will choose a counseling theoretical model that most closely fits with their personal style of counseling and preference.You will also describe why they have chosen that particular model and how it fits with them. This paper will fulfill the Graduate Writing Requirement (GWR). Late submissions subject to course policy. Please answer the following prompts in your paper:

    1. What:  What is the problem that someone would bring to you or that you would be seeing in your counseling practice? What is the pathology of the issue? What are the factors contributing to the development of the problem (i.e. mental, behavioral, emotional, physiological, biological, academic, relational, etc.)? The factors that you choose should be connected closely to the theoretical assumptions for what leads to the dysfunction or issue. Take note that most theories and models for change typically address one primary factor when making change. What are healthy/ unhealthy characteristics of those specific factors chosen (ex. What does an unhealthy relationship look like)? What theory of development best aligns with the pathology or can be used to best explain the pathology?
    2. How:  How do you enact or facilitate change?

  1. Why:  Describe your rationale for choosing the factors of change you focus on. Include any small or brief personal experiences you have had that have contributed to your selection of a model and factors of change.

A friend of yours is really struggling with dating and relationships, and they come to you looking for advice on how they can find a partner who is not a jerk/loser like all the previous individuals they have dated. They directly say “I am so sick of having shallow relationships with losers who end up ghosting me after a few Tinder hook-ups. Or moving in with someone only to have my heart broken and having to find a new place to live a few months later.  How can I find someone who I am relationally and sexually compatible with? How do I make a long-term romantic relationship work?”   What advice would you give your friend? In your response, be sure to use course content and readings to justify your advice, and be sure to address all components of your friend’s question.

Be sure to use evidence from course readings and content to justify your recommendations.

The original post must include information from a professional, scholarly source that is outside the course. Cite the source in APA style (author’s last name, year of publication, page number) within the post, and include a complete bibliographic reference in APA style at the end of the post. Note: A Web site can be cited (with a URL) but does not count as the outside article unless it is clearly an entire Web site that uses peer-review. This permits use of an online scholarly journal, for example, that does not have a print version. But a Web site such as Wikipedia would not qualify because, while edited and vetted (to a degree), it is not a refereed source.
