All three scenes depict a 16 year old teen sneaking out of his house. In the first scenario he is caught by his parents as he is sneaking back into his room. His parents immediately begin to scold him and tell him that he’s grounded for a month for breaking the curfew they set. This style of parenting is autocratic.

The second scenario depicts him sneaking out and then back into his room successfully. His parents are sitting at breakfast the following morning debating on whether or not to go wake him up because it is already noon. They decide not to because they recall that he gets upset when they don’t let him sleep in on the weekends. They remain unaware that he had snuck out of the house the evening before and let him remain sleeping. This style of parenting is permissive.

The final scenario shows his parents sitting on a couch waiting up for him. They ask if they think they should go back and check on him again. When they enter his room they find him tucked in bed and wake him up. They tell him they had been checking his room every 15 minutes because he did not return home upon the time of his curfew and have been worried sick about him. They then tell him that it is very late and they will discuss it in the morning. The following morning they sit down to breakfast and talk about what happened the night before and explain to him their point of view. They remind him that he is only 16 and that they all agreed on a set curfew time. They ask him his reasoning for sneaking out and tell him that he can have his friends over after his curfew so long as they are quiet. They then tell him his punishment is no going out for two weeks. He reluctantly accepts the punishment but understands where his parents are coming from. This style of parenting is authoritative.

1. In 5-7 sentences recall a similar experience described in the scenarios with your parents or caregivers (or if you prefer you may describe a sibling or friend’s experience). Describe the style of parenting and how you felt now and then about the experience. Describe the type of limits, consequences, punishments, encouragement, democratic guidance (communication and discussions), and/or rewards.

(PLEASE feel free to make any/all of this up. It is entirely opinion based so just focus on fully answering all parts of the question)

2. Research has found that different styles of Parenting lead to different developmental outcomes in children and adolescents (see the Process of Parenting). Discuss how your (or a sibling a friend’s) childhood/adolescence experiences and the developmental outcomes that have influenced and impacted your life and decisions you have made regarding involvement in sports, work/careers, school, friends, and/or community involvement.

***Assignment is due SUNDAY Februrary 7 at 8pm EASTERN time***

I will send photos of the chapters upon marking an agreement. Please primarily answer these questions from the corresponding chapters written next to them. You must also use at least one other additional source to validate your answers to the questions. The source can be an article related to the topic you have chosen. Please try to use in text citations as often as possible and using the proper APA formatting. If you are unfamiliar with this type of formatting please refrain from requesting to do this assignment. Thank you.

Select only one of the cases below and answer the corresponding questions. I suggest selecting the topic you feel most confident with. Make sure to identify which case you have selected in the heading of your post e.g., Case #1.

Keep responses to the questions at 2-3 paragraphs total.

Case #1: A client who has not questioned her religious beliefs

Brenda, age 22, comes to see you because of problems in living at home with her family. She tells you that she feels dependent both financially and emotionally on her parents and that although she would like to move out and live with a girlfriend, she has many fears of taking this step. She also says that her religion is extremely important to her and that she feels a great deal of guilt over the conflict she has with her parents. After some discussion you find that she has never really questioned her religious values and that it appears that she has completely accepted the beliefs of her parents. Brenda says that if she followed her religion more closely, she would not be having all these difficulties with her folks. She is coming to you because she would “like to feel more like an independent adult who could feel free enough to make my own decisions.”

Which of the issues faced by beginning therapists from Ch. 2 might become an issue for you in this specific case (at least 2 issues) and why?

Case # 2: A woman struggling over an abortion decision

This case involves Melinda, a 25-year-old Latina who says she wants to have an abortion. She has been married for three years, already has two children, and says: “We had to get married because I was pregnant. We didn’t have money then. The second kid was not planned either. But now we really can’t afford another child.” Her husband is a policeman going to law school at night. She works as a housekeeper and plans to return to school once her husband finishes his studies and it is “her turn.” He should graduate in another year, at which time she is scheduled to enroll in classes at the community college. Having another baby at this time would seriously hamper those arrangements in addition to imposing the previously mentioned financial burden. But the client reports:

“I go to call the clinic, and I just can’t seem to talk. I hang up the minute they answer. I just can’t seem to make the appointment for the abortion, let alone have one. I was never much of a Catholic, and I always thought you should be able to get an abortion if you wanted one. What’s wrong with me? And what am I going to do? I don’t exactly have a lot of time.”

Case #3: A woman who wants her marriage and her affair

Loretta and Bart come to you for marriage counseling. In the first session you see them as a couple. Loretta says that she can’t keep going on the way they have been for the past several years. She tells you that she would very much like to work out a new relationship with him. He says that he does not want a divorce and is willing to give counseling his “best shot.” Loretta comes to the following session alone because Bart had to work overtime. She tells you that she has been having an affair for two years and hasn’t yet mustered up the courage to leave Bart for this other man, who is single and is pressuring her to make a decision. She relates that she feels very discouraged about the possibility of anything changing for the better in her marriage. She would, however, like to come in for some sessions with Bart because she doesn’t want to hurt him.

Research Paper: Sentence Outline

[Pin It]

I will be doing my research paper on the artist Jackson Pollock. My interest is not only about his a personal struggles with alcohol but to learn more about his techniques within his paintings.

Research Paper: Sentence Outline :

An outline is a road map; it provides direction. A sentence outline, which is composed of complete sentences, can be very helpful when writing an essay because many of the sentences used in the outline can become the essay’s topic sentences.

Because this is a sentence outline, you should not write an outline whose entries are single words, short phrases, sentence fragments, or questions. Every entry must be a complete declarative sentence of the sort which might actually appear in your research paper.

Outline Format:

•Place the essay’s thesis statement at the top of the outline.

•Most outlines contain three or four levels of detail (although more levels may be used if the writer wishes).

•The format for this assignment uses Roman numerals for the main, or largest, divisions of the outline (level one). Capital letters indicate the sub-levels of the main divisions (level two). Arabic numerals indicate the sub-levels of the capital-letter sections (level three). Lower-case letters indicate the sub-levels of Arabic-numeral sections (level four).

Outline Rules:

•The Rule of Pairs: If you have a I, you must have a II; if you have an A, then you must have a B; if you have a 1, then you must have a 2, and so on.

•Different sections of the outline may have different levels of detail. Give each section the amount of detail it requires.

•Indent each successive level of the outline three spaces, and maintain even internal margins throughout the outline.

•Double-space between all headings in the outline (or double-space the whole outline and triple-space between headings).
