“Using the case study provided at the end of the module identify and explain the clients issues and devise a course of treatment for him, taking into account any ethical issues”
The essay will identify and then explain what the case study I feel is suggesting about the client. Focusing on underlying issues the client may have faced in their past / present life. It will identify a best working practice and explain how their modalities will be used when working with this client. It will identify a course of treatment which will include the client’s visual modality; to produce a relaxation screed which will be used during therapy with use of the client’s special place.
The case study I believe identifies a client who is clearly afraid of rejection in all areas of his life, these include his personal and professional life. The client appears to be afraid of commitment and the fear that if he commits to something he won’t be accepted. For example I feel he is afraid on a professional and personal level, that if he goes for a drink with his work colleagues, there is a fear that they will reject him, as they already think he’s boring. The client feels if he applies to be a manager, it will change the way people think of him, this reflecting the concept he doesn’t wish to upset “the apple cart”. The client is fearful the relationship will change within the work setting as he may no longer be an equal, as he would have to take a more senior role, this impacting greater on his feeling of wanting to be liked and accepted.
On a personal level he is afraid to ask his girlfriend to marry him as he may be put in a situation
