Impact of History on Worldview

Deepening your knowledge of racial and/or ethnic groups and culture in general requires an understanding of the influences that have led to a particular group’s worldview. Furthermore, how does this worldview influence the attitudes, behaviors, and values of members of that group? History plays a significant role in shaping the worldview of all cultural groups. Ultimately, as a counselor, understanding these influences assists in developing your cultural competence.

For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the history of each group and how this history has impacted the worldviews of each group’s members. Then, select one of these ethnic groups to focus on for this Discussion.

With these thoughts in mind and using a specific example from one of the ethnic groups from this week’s readings:

Post by Day 3 a summary of one aspect of the history (such as an event or a shared group experience) of the ethnic or racial group you selected. Explain the impact of this historical aspect on the worldview of the group’s members. Then, explain how their worldview and current perceptions may influence the attitudes, beliefs, values, and behaviors of group members. How might individuals and families negotiating biracial (i.e., identifying with two or more racial/ethnic groups) or transracial (i.e., transracial adoptee or adoptive family, etc.)  identity be impacted by the historical worldview of these intersecting identities?

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Using the Triage Assessment Form

 

After reading the case examples in the Myer and Conte (2006) article, you have a better understanding of how to use one type of assessment tool. A Microsoft Word copy of the Triage Assessment Form (TAF) is included in the assignment Resources. The most current version of this form is also shown in your James and Gilliland (2013) text, pages 63–65. Use the form to analyze Jordan, described below. You can save the form as you have completed it as a MS Word document or as a PDF document, and attach the form to your written paper as an appendix.

 

Rate the client in each of the three domains (Affective, Behavioral, and Cognitive) using the Severity Scale included with each domain on the Triage Assessment Form (TAF) and total the scores. Describe, in detail, the rationale for your ratings, including your judgment about how intense and directive the treatment should be based upon the total score. In your discussion of the rationale, summarize diagnostic skills and techniques that can be used to screen for addiction, aggression, and danger to self and others, as you note these risks in your client. Similarly, a possible co-occurring mental disorder (such as substance abuse) may become apparent during a crisis, disaster, or other trauma-causing event that ties in with your assessment during the client’s crisis. Note this as well in your rationale.

Case

 

 

 

Jordan

 

Jordan arrives at counseling saying that her husband, Jake, left the house earlier that day in an agitated mood and with his rifle, and tearfully discloses concerns about her safety and his. She states that her friend, who has been worried about her for some time, insisted that she see a counselor. Jordan says she was surprised at Jake’s abrupt departure because she was unaware of any plans he had to go hunting, and if he was not going hunting, why he would take his gun out. She recalls that she and Jake had fought the previous night over his drinking. Jordan reports that she asked Jake to stop drinking so much, and in response, he threatened her and slammed a few doors. She recalls that Jake said he liked being a little drunk and pushed her back against the kitchen counter at one point. When Jake went back into a spare bedroom to sleep that night, Jordan found numerous beer bottles in the den and a large empty whiskey bottle in front of his truck. Jordan states that it was not unusual for Jake to put his rifle in his truck when he planned to go hunting, but when he had done so today, he had still been quite angry about her accusation that he was drinking too much. After he left, Jordan reports that she began shaking. She felt fear for her own safety, so she called her friend who insisted that she speak to a counselor. While Jordan was on her way to counseling, her husband called her. He seemed calm, asked about her day, and said nothing about the previous night or his abrupt departure. Jordan states that this switch in mood from extreme aggression to a pleasant tone “seems weird.” Jordan asks for help in dealing with her husband’s odd behaviors. She fears for her own safety and the safety of her husband, but is unwilling to call the police. As she speaks, she is agitated and continually looks over at the doorway, as though expecting it to burst open.
