This assignment will require you to select a psychological disorder and pair it with a form of psychotherapy that has demonstrable success. You will also create a therapy session transcript that shows successful application of therapeutic communication skills. In your work as a mental health provider, you will be called upon to identify, interpret, and successfully apply evidence-based therapies. The transcript exercise provides you the opportunity to demonstrate competence in applying basic therapeutic communication skills you learned and practiced in Units 3 and 4, and at least one technique of the approach you selected to assist your fictional client (I HAVE SELECTED REBT).

This assignment also provides practice in matching therapies to client concerns—which will you will do again in Unit 10—while at the same time incorporating theories of multicultural therapies.

For this 10-pages assignment, you will choose a psychological disorder from the following DSM-5 categories:

• Depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma and stress related disorders, OR

• Substance-related and addictive disorders.

You will then choose an approach to psychotherapy that has a proven track record.

You will also create a therapy session transcript. In that imaginary session, you will explain to the client the type of therapy you would like to use (See 10.1 Informed Consent to Therapy, and 4.02, Discussing the Limits of Confidentiality in the Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct. Link in the Resources) as well as demonstrating the therapeutic communication skills of reflection (thoughts and affect), empathic statements, and open-ended questions. (THIS IS SO IMPORTANT, KINDLY READ APA GOALS/REQUIREMENTS FOR COUNCELLORS TO UNDERSTAND THIS)

The first 6 pages of the paper should describe the client's demography and presenting concern; it should then provide an academically-based reason for your choice of therapeutic approach to use with the client (USE THE REBT APPROACH)

The final 4 pages will be the transcript of a fictional client.

Therapist: Hi, how are things going today? [open-ended question] 

Client: Everyone hates me.

Therapist:  Can you tell me more....who is "everyone"? [open-ended question] 

Client:  My dad is always on my butt to mow the yard, my mom yells at me about my bedroom. She wants it to look like no one sleeps there, and none of my friends are talking to me at school.

Therapist:  I want to make sure I understand correctly, right now your friends are not being so friendly, and your mom and dad are mostly interested in their house and yard. [paraphrase] 

Client:  EXACTLY! Did they have me just so I could provide free labor?

Therapist:  Feeling used can weaken the best of relationships. [empathic statement] Can you tell me when you noticed that your friends stopped talking to you? [open ended question, clarifying question]

Rational emotive therapy, when developed by Albert Ellis in the 1950s, was a radical change from the psychoanalytic therapy he had been trained to practice. In his sessions with clients, Ellis noticed that they all had many irrational thoughts that he believed were the true causes of their psychological distress. He found that he could help them make rapid changes in their feelings by getting them to change their thoughts to more rational ones without needing to explore their pasts or do lengthy analysis. In his early writings he listed 13 different irrational beliefs that he found were common to many Americans, such as, "It is very important for everyone to like me," "Life is supposed to be fair," and "It is terrible if I make a mistake."

Ellis' writings are very easy to understand even for the layperson. One example of the simplicity of his style is his famous ABCs of RET. In common speech we say that something happened that made us feel a certain way. For example a client might say, "My wife left me, and that made me depressed." However Ellis' idea is that it is not the antecedent event (A) that causes the consequent feelings (C), but rather the belief system (B) in the middle that is the cause of the emotions. In our example, another client's wife may leave him, and he becomes happy. How could the same event, (A) the wife leaving, cause two different feelings, (C) depression and happiness? The answer is that the belief systems (B) were different for each client. The first believed he was a reject and would never find love, while the second believed his wife was crazy and now he was finally free to find true love. So to help clients using RET, the therapist would help clients become aware of their irrational beliefs and then change them to more rational ones (D), leading to better feelings (E) in the client. This week, in addition to your reading, you will have an opportunity to try out your own ability to practice the ABCs of RET in a mock therapy session. Find out from your client what negative feelings they are having (C), what event (A) they think caused the feelings, and then help them discover what they are thinking about the situation (B). Once you and the client can find some irrational beliefs about the situation, help the client think of some more rational ways to think about the situation (D) and see if that results in more positive feelings (E).

In later years, Ellis changed the name of his theory to rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), with the B standing for behavior. This change was made in recognition of the importance of behavioral changes in any successful psychotherapy. Clients were encouraged to examine the behavioral consequences of both their irrational and rational beliefs in addition to noticing the emotional consequences.
