That is one of the issues you will explore this week through this Discussion. You will respond to a scenario in which you, as a professional in the line of work you currently do or would like to do, are tasked with designing a strong message using either the guilt or the fear appeal. As you create your messages, consider the relationship between the outcome you hope to achieve and the ethics of how you choose to get there.

As you have learned in this module, attending skills are vital for focusing on the patterns and behaviors of your clients. This assignment will give you an opportunity to attend to a client and see if you can notice specific behavioral, emotional, and cognitive patterns of possible concern to a counselor.Read the following fictional case study and identify all three presenting aspects of this client as they appear in the case study.

Create a table listing all the behavioral, emotional, and cognitive aspects of this client as they appear in the case study. Be careful not to interpret or assess. You are simply listing these aspects as they appear in the case study.Note: All aspects of this case study are completely fictional and any resemblance to a real person is coincidental.

Terri is an 18-year-old, single, college freshman, who is attending school on a full scholarship for basketball.

She is the only child of a single mother who lives in a studio apartment close to the school.

Your client reports, “Last week in a playoff game, I missed one of two free throws early in the third quarter, and we lost the game by one point.” In spite of scoring a total of 24 points, making eight rebounds and four assists, Terri states to you, “It is my fault we lost the game.

I can’t eat or sleep. I keep replaying that missed shot over and over and over. I’ve been going to the park across the street from my apartment and shooting free throws until late at night.

I let my team down. This is my fault.”Terri lives in an older part of town where crime is on the rise.

She finds herself distracted and nervous and states her heart flutters.

She has sweaty palms, dry mouth, and she feels petrified at the thought of showing up for the practices starting in a couple of days. “For two days now I’ve sent all my calls to voice mail.

I can’t call teammates or friends. My mom is probably worried because she hasn’t heard back from me.” Again she states, “I should have made that free throw. I choked. I blew it.

It’s my fault we lost. That’s a lot of dreams right out of the window for my team.

”Terri sells shoes part time at the mall and is up for a promotion to assistant manager. She is due back at work in two days after her break and says she does plan to go to work.

She is physically healthy, has experimented with beer but has never been drunk, and denies homicidal or suicidal ideation.Next,

What skills will you employ? What behaviors will you look for in the client?

Assistance is needed in completing the following Assignment.  I have attached a Template that needs to be used.   

 

For this Assignment, you will work in groups assigned in Unit 4. For the character exhibiting abnormal behavior that you selected in Unit 4, write a 3 to 4-page double-spaced paper (excluding the title page and reference page) using the Assignment template in Course Documents to explain the following:

1. Name the movie and describe the character’s general behavior in question. “THE MOVIE IS SHREK”

“THE CHARACTER IS SHREK”

2. (a) Identify and list as many symptoms of a mental illness that the character is exhibiting (See DSM-5).

· (b) Referring to the DSM-5, the definition of abnormal behavior from the course textbook, and based on your observation of the character’s behavior in the movie, explain why the behavior appears to be abnormal?

· (c) Based on the DSM-5, which mental disorder do you believe the character’s symptoms best represent?

· (d) Are there any indications that suggest the character may have a different mental disorder other than the one you have listed in C? If so, why did you dismiss other possible disorders over your chosen disorder?

3. Was the movie’s portrayal of the character convoluted or normalized making the distinction of abnormal behavior from that of normal behavior blurred? Explain what cultural influences can make it difficult to identity symptoms of mental disorder. For example, was part of the movie a comedy that joked about the character’s behavior, such as Jim Carrey in the movie Me, Myself, and Irene, was addictive behavior normalized, was the behavior downplayed as simply teenage behavior gone “bad”, or was the behavior glamorized as a damsel in distress being saved by a hero?
