Reviewing Reality, Feminist, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapies.

/in /by

Hi, need to submit a 1500 words paper on the topic Reviewing Reality, Feminist, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapies. The goal of Reality Therapy is to move away from the past and focus on now, so that behavior and thoughts can be enlisted to move the client toward solutions, instead of problems (Reality Therapy Central, 2012).&nbsp. The past cannot be changed, but the present and future can be changed. In order to bring about change, the client needs to notice what works and what does not, in advancing toward what is wanted.

Various techniques are used in a specific sequence. The first technique is to establish trust and a strong, beneficial relationship between the therapist and client. The therapist sets up an environment that will satisfy the client’s needs. People of all cultures need to survive, have love and belonging, feel power, experience freedom, and have fun. So the counselor creates and maintains an environment where the client feels safe, feels connected, is listened to and respected, can make some choices, and has some fun (Reality Therapy Central, 2012).

The next technique is to listen to the client’s story, to identify the problem(s). The counselor tries to understand what an ideal solution would be, based on the desire of the client (Reality Therapy Central, 2012). The counselor assists the client in listing all the actions taken to reach the goal. The client is encouraged to list actions that keep him/her from reaching the solution, as well. The counselor can add to the list (Reality Therapy Central, 2012).

Once identified, actions are evaluated as to whether they are leading toward the solution or away from it. Finally, the counselor helps the client to come up with a plan of action that will more efficiently and effectively lead to the desired solution. These techniques, once learned, can be used for more effective living (Reality Therapy Central, 2012).

The counselor takes on the role of trusted ally and caring confidante, constantly guiding toward more beneficial options and responsible behavior (National Association of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists, 2013). The counselor keeps the emphasis on the person’s thoughts and behavior which either perpetuate or alleviate the problem and will lead toward or away from what the client really wants. The focus must be uncompromising (National Association of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists, 2013).

use social psychology theory to explain what would lead someone to confront the person who made the offensive comment or joke, when doing so may likely make them the target of the joke teller’s retaliation.________________________________________________________________________________Though this happened years ago, I still remember it vividly. When I was in 7th grade, my friends and I were at lunch talking about a test that most of the class had not prepared for. One of the white Latinas in my class who was labeled as a ‘popular’, had come up to my friend and I holding a large a chicken nugget and said, “Look it’s shaped like your country” and proceeded to laugh and make clicking sounds with her mouth. For context, my peer and I are black and the nugget she had displayed was shaped like Africa. No one knew what to say and she was the only one laughing. Apart from her labeling a continent as a country, my peer and I are both Afro-Latino, so our offense was strictly toward her bigoted behavior and clear lack of knowledge. Looking at it from a social psychology viewpoint, staying mute in this instance can hold different perceptions. Even if a joke is “funny”, it does not negate those that find it offensive, I firmly believe that intent does not equal impact. One of the factors to rule in with this girl specifically was the reasoning behind her so-called joke. There’s the possibility that she made the joke toward us based on negative stereotypes or the conditioned ideology that Latin culture holds toward Afro-Latinos that is primarily fueled on colorism. Regardless of her intention behind it, it was not kind. Aronson et. al (2019) notes that prejudice attitudes hold negative intent and through that meaning, there is the chance that she was trying to provoke us by using phrasing that can be perceived as harmful.

The Bribery Act and Its Relevancy to the Construction Industry.

/in /by

I will pay for the following article The Bribery Act and Its Relevancy to the Construction Industry. The work is to be 9 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. Since receiving Royal Assent in 2010, the Bribery Act became completely enforceable under the law in July 2011. The Bribery Act is intended to be a more relevant and functional framework for combating bribery in both the public and private sectors. Up until 2011, the UK government had been eliciting justice under very old laws related to bribery and corruption, including The Prevention of Corruption Acts of 1889 through 1916. Since the days of these old acts, the structure of the business, and the prevalence of corruption and bribery required a new focus to ensure businesses and their stakeholders conduct practices in an equitable and honest manner. The Bribery Act was written with language to clearly outline what constitutes an offense related to bribery and to serve as a clear deterrent for utilizing bribery for the promise of some advantage.
