    Als: Doctor and Auntie Pele

    Why I chose ALS: Have you ever heard of a disease that can’t be figure out? When the doctors don’t know how people would get it? Do we really know how to cure it? So many questions we have about things, but we can’t figure it out… It was a sad day for my whole family last year and it’s because someone REALLY REALLY important to our family has passed away. It all start about when my auntie Pele was 30 and she owned her own business in American Samoa, Then one day she felt a weird tingle feeling in her hands, so she went to the doctor to check it out… Later that day the doctor told her it was nothing. So the next day she was working like usual and she noticed that she couldn’t move her right arm, so she went to the doctor to check it out, and like the doctor said before, “it was nothing” then told her not to worry about the whole thing. The following weeks, her arm didn’t improve and she became more worried. She visited the hospital again, she told them her arm had not improved. They ran a bunch of test, through some blood, and even did a cat scan on her brain.…

    Ripley and Worthington (2014) state, “One of the most important things you can do for the couple entering your office is to tailor the treatment to their particular style, needs, and values” (Ripley, Worthington, 2014, p. 94). The writer agrees that personalizing therapy will support fulfilling sessions, as well as, effective treatment. The rational for this decision is based off of experience in a residential facility, which implements a program that all residents must follow. However, because each resident has individual triggers, psychiatric disabilities, needs, and coping skills, their programs are individualized to help them succeed. Ripley and Worthington (2014) provide supporting opinions, similar to the previous example, which approve of altering the typical course of therapy based on the demands of a couple.…
