Human Growth Research Assignment 8
Human Growth Research Assignment
Human development is the lifelong process of behavioral,
emotional, cognitive, and most of all physical change and
growth. A normal human being undergoes various cycles,

stages, and phases from the time that they are born until the
time they reach maturity or adulthood. Human growth and
development assists individuals with understanding the stages
of development and how each phase contributes to the physical,
emotional, psychosocial, abilities of the overall individual.
Biology is greatly emphasized in human growth and
development, but the environment has a greater influence on the
behavior on what makes up the identity of a person. The
environment consists of many roadblocks that could cause a
hindrance in the human growth and development of a person. A
person may experience a crisis, disaster, or other trauma
causing events that may skew their development. Trauma-
Causing Events
Trauma causing events are quite different for children,
adolescence, and adults. Children from birth to 5 years of age
are at higher risk of exposure to traumatic events, because the
children are solely dependent on their parents and caregivers for
their ultimate survival. Trauma is a term used to describe a
stressful impact of events. A child may experience many
traumatic events throughout his or her lifetime. Those events
include bodily injuries, feelings of terror, sexual and domestic
violence, community violence, war experiences, vehicle
accidents, natural, and man-made disasters (Ballard, et al.,
2015). According to research by the National Child Traumatic
Stress Network, more than half the number of children
experience severe stress from abuse and neglect. Traumatic
events have many negative impacts on children. One effect of
trauma in early childhood is the inability of the child to develop
attachments and relationships. The inability for a child to
develop an attachment or relationship is the result of a child
that has been exposed to domestic violence traumas.
Relationships with caregivers are vital, because the child learns
to trust, interact with the world, and balance their emotions.
Caregivers that give poor attachment styles could cause a child
to feel helpless, unsafe, and have a challenging time building
strong healthy relationships in the later stages of their life

(Ballard, et al., 2015). General Framework For Understanding
Exceptional Abilities
In the field of counseling, counselors are focused on bringing
individuals from an undesirable or abnormal state to a more
neutral or normative state. This is evident in all counseling
practices, where the objectives are to nullify learning and
behavioral difficulties. Counselors mostly aim to assist
individuals with activities that encourages human flourishing.
Counselors also strive to maximize the growth and focus on an
individual’s achievement towards exceptional levels.
Exceptional behaviors originate from genetic and
neurobiological factors and are influenced by parenting and
early development factors in which individuals are brought up
in (VanDerHeyden & Snyder, 2006).
Federal initiatives such as the response to intervention (RTI)
strategies is used to emphasize the importance of early
childhood intervention. The Response to Intervention Initiative
assists children and their families to help accelerate their levels
of growth and learning (Snyder & Linnenbrink-Garcia, 2013).
The Individual’s with Disabilities Education Act allows
educational agencies to use part of the yearly funds to identify
young children, especially those in kindergarten and up to
receive additional behavioral and academic assistance to be
successful in their educational curriculum. The use of the RTI
strategies in children helps counselors and educators
rehabilitate the unwanted behavior of children. RTI strategies
rely on behavior modification and progress monitoring.
However, selected interventions implemented and evaluation to
determine whether additional interventions are required to assist
children with exceptional abilities (Snyder & Linnenbrink-
Garcia, 2013). Understanding Normal And Abnormal Behaviors
Normal behavior is behavior that is viewed as a social norm.
Abnormal behavior is seen as actions that deviate from the
social norm. Certain factors must be considered in
distinguishing which behavior is normal or abnormal. First, one
has to determine what socially normal behaviors are in order to

be able to understand abnormal behaviors. Another factor to
consider is the disruptive nature of the behavior. Behavior that
disrupts a one’s life, the life of others, and/or causes distress; it
is considered as abnormal behavior. Psychopathology is
interrelated with abnormal behavior, because psychopathology
is the study of mental disorders and mental disorders are
considered abnormal. Children that are exposed to traumatic
events early in life, are more likely to develop psychological
disorders. In normal human development, biological, physical,
and emotional development are typical. Genetic factors and
environmental factors have an impact on normal and abnormal
behaviors. Children that are exposed to an environment that is
stressful are likely to show signs of depression and anxiety. A
child who has a family history of depression will most likely
develop depression when exposed to stressful life circumstances
(Jovanović, et al., 2013).
Biological developmental issues also bring about this abnormal
behavior. Research shows that most people with
psychopathological behaviors often have biological disorders.
Those biological disorders include an abnormal firing of
neurons, which are receptors to an individual’s emotions and
reactions. When certain parts of the brain’s neurons undershoot
or overshoot; it results in an abnormality in a person’s thinking
process/cognitive patterns, and emotions. Exposure to stress
assists in the process of developing a psychological impairment.
Psychological disabilities include any mental disorders that
influence an individual’s emotions and cognition. For example,
psychological impairments may include depression,
schizophrenia, anxiety, and bipolar disorders. Depression,
anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorders contribute to
individuals behaving in ways that deviate from the societal
norms (Jovanović, et al., 2013). Theories For Facilitating
Optimal Growth And Wellness
Self Determination Theory is a motivational theory that focuses
on the intrinsic and/or innate tendencies of human beings. The
theory applies to many sectors of human life, such as

psychotherapy, psychopathology, health, and well-being and
relationships. It is concerned with the inherent and
psychological needs of human beings and it is dependent on the
choices that people make without external influences (Vera, et
al., 2012). Psychoanalytic theories emphasize that childhood
experiences and unconscious desires determines the behavior of
an individual. According to psychoanalytic theories, occurrence
of conflicts during each stage of development had a lifelong
influence on the behavior and personality of an individual
(Vera, et al., 2012).
Erickson’s eight-stage theory of psychosocial development
describes growth, and development throughout the life of an
individual (Foster, Galjour, & Spengel, 2015). For example, the
learning theory states that the environment influences all human
behavior. In the theory, learning could be through classical
conditioning, operant conditioning or through observation. All
the methods of learning would influence a lifelong behavior of
an individual and their psychological and social development.
Lastly, cognitive theories state that an individual’s thinking
affects their behavior and intellectual development throughout
life (Foster, et al., 2015). Conclusion
There is a wide range of research on trauma, understanding
exceptional abilities, normal and abnormal behaviors, and
wellness. The most crucial factor that relates all the research
that is conducted in the areas listed above are the healthy
growth and overall wellness of a person. Balance is the key to
having healthy social, psychological, emotional, and physical
health. Life can be stressful, but a plan must always be in place
to help a person cope with the stress that awaits in the
environment. For example, engaging in activities that bring
enjoyment and relaxation are healthy ways to control stress.

Social and Cultural Internalization
Values, morals, behaviors, and beliefs are major elements that
play a role in the self-identity of a person. The formation of
these components shape the human nature, behavior, and the

development of an individual purpose. All people have some
sort of worldview. A worldview is a perception or concept of
the world. In order to understand people, one must first
understand the characteristics and what makes up the whole
person. The world consists of many diverse cultures.
It is important for counselors to beware of these different
stereotypes so that it will not affect the counseling relationship.
It is important for counselors to know about different cultures
and their beliefs. This will make the client feel a lot more
comfortable, and this will help the client and counselor build a
good relationship with each other. This will yield to positive
results for the client and counselor. Counseling a person from
another culture requires a significant amount of practice,
because a counselor should not want to appear rude to a person
of another culture. I do plan to be open to ideas that could lead
to growth in all aspects of my life. I plan to use the knowledge

Group Counseling Internalizations
Groups may serve a variety of purposes in any setting. In terms
of counseling, there are several distinct types of groups. The
types of groups used in the counseling profession are
Counseling, Psychoeducational, Task, Psychotherapy, and Brief
groups (Corey, Corey, & Corey, 2018). Knowing the different
type of groups will assist the counselor on choosing a group that
is suitable for clients. The members in a counseling group do
most of the work promoting change through supporting and
challenging one another by exploring self. The group leader
acts as the facilitator instead of a teacher. In a psychotherapy

group the facilitator acts as a teacher to educate clients.Goals
And Guidelines For A Group
A disclosure statement must be sent and verbally explained to
all members. The disclosure statement states the qualifications
of the leader and coleader, theoretical orientation, role
expectations of both members and leaders, potential risks,
benefits, goals for the group, confidentiality, limitations to
confidentiality, and any other rights/responsibilities of members
and leaders (Corey, Corey, & Corey, 2018). The most important
guideline for the possible group members will be to attend an
individual pre-group screening meeting. In the meeting, the
leader and coleader will assess if the group is suitable for the
candidate. The purpose of the pre-screening is to ensure the
safety of the group members and to see if the members will
benefit from the group.
Goals for a group would consist of members confronting their
concerns and setting goal to reach to help with that concern.
The members would gain insight from exploring the source of
their concerns, create new behaviors from working through their
concerns in a group, and learn to create goals that would allow
them to cope with their concerns in a healthy way on their own.
The ground rules for the group will be created in the form of a
contract before the group starts. However, the potential group
members will be able to agree and/or change the group contract
together. Examples of group rules would consist of the
members being on time and attending the whole group session,
unless notified in advance that one cannot attend the entire
group meeting. Other examples would include no usage of cell
phones while the group is in session, each member signing
agreements to not discuss anything anyone says outside of the
group, etc. Stages Of Group Characteristics and Procedures
According to the textbook, the four stages of group consist of
the initial, transitional, working, and the final stage (Corey,
Corey, & Corey, 2018). The initial stage of the group is
composed of group members stating their fears, hesitations, and
curiosities about being in the group. However, members getting

acquainted and establishing goal are also seen at the initial
stage. The leader and coleader of the group will assist the
members with getting acquainted, expressing their fears, and
curiosities by splitting the group members into small sub-
groups. My expectations during the initial stage consist of the
members wanting to get acquainted, learn about the group
process, have an idea of a goal they would like to reach, and
participate in the smaller activities. s (Corey, Corey, & Corey,
2018).
During the transitional stage of the group, the leader and
coleader will continue to assist the members with building trust,
identifying negative feelings, clarifying goals, and assist with
reframing any resistance among the group members. The
techniques used to assist with clarifying goals, identifying
negative feelings, and reframing any resistance are asking
clarifying questions and inviting the member or members to
explore those thoughts/feelings. My expectations during the
transitional stage consist of the members being clear on their
goals, working to build trust, and exploring the fears from the
initial stage (Corey, Corey, & Corey, 2018).
The working stage for the group will be more of the members
deepening their exploration of what the source of their concerns
and working through any conflicting or incongruencies with
their words, actions, etc. The group leaders’ role is to assist
with caring confrontation and use skills to assist the members to
successfully work through any issues. The techniques used
during the working stage consist of role-playing, being asked
the miracle question, etc. My expectations of the group at this
stage would be for the members to work through their concerns,
develop new ways to cope with their concerns, strive toward
their goals, and correct any incongruencies within themselves.
The final stage of group consists of the group members working
through any unfinished business, applying their new knowledge
of reducing concerns, preparing for termination, learning how to
deal with setbacks, reflecting on what was learned throughout
the group experience. The role of the group leaders is to ensure

that everyone is safe and prepare the members for termination.
My expectation of the group at this stage is for members to
process feelings of termination, reflect on what was learned and
how they would apply their knowledge into their daily life, and
check to see if any goals were met. Ethical Considerations
Ethical concerns are a major factor in any type of counseling
setting. There are many ethical concerns that will need to be
addressed to ensure that any violations of Codes of Ethics are
not taking place. To be in compliance with ethics, one must
abide by a set of rules. Rules that a counselor must abide by
are guidelines that protect the counselor and individuals that are
receiving any form of counseling. A counselor must also follow
the rules to be in compliance with legal, cultural, and ethical
issues. Ethical guidelines are in place to ensure the
professional counselor’s conduct is indeed professional (Corey,
Corey, & Corey, 2018). Cultural concerns consist of the
orientation, values, beliefs, and ethnicity of a person (Corey,
Corey, & Corey, 2018). Legal concerns are explained as a set
of rules that the state, federal, and local government enforces
(Corey, Corey, & Corey, 2018). The possible issues of ethics
that will be addressed during the proposed group are both
confidentiality and cultural differences. Confidentiality is one
of the greatest ethical concerns with the group, because
confidentiality promotes a safe environment for the individuals
in the group.

Group Counseling Internalizations
Groups may serve a variety of purposes in any setting. In terms
of counseling, there are
several distinct types of groups. The types of groups used in
the counseling profession are
groups (Corey, Corey, & Corey,
2018). Knowing the different type of groups will assist the
counselor on choosing a group that
is suitable for clients. The members in a counseling group do
most of the work promoting
change through supporting and challenging one another by
exploring self. The group leader acts
as the facilitator instead of a teacher. In a psychotherapy group
the facilitator acts as a teacher to
educate clients.
Goals And Guidelines For A Group
A disclosure statement must be sent and verbally explained to
all members. The
disclosure statement states the qualifications of the leader and
coleader, theoretical orientation,
role expectations of both members and leaders, potential risks,
benefits, goals for the group,
confidentiality, limitations to confidentiality, and any other
rights/responsibilities of members
and leaders (Corey, Corey, & Corey, 2018). The most important
guideline for the possible group
members will be to attend an individual pre-group screening
meeting. In the meeting, the leader
and coleader will assess if the group is suitable for the
candidate. The purpose of the pre-
screening is to ensure the safety of the group members and to
see if the members will benefit
from the group.
Goals for a group would consist of members confronting their
concerns and setting goal

to reach to help with that concern. The members would gain
insight from exploring the source of

concerns in a healthy way on their own.

Career Counseling Paper
With the increased dynamics of the job market, career
counseling is an important guiding mechanism to help
individuals enter a desirable job or career. There are numerous
career counseling perspectives proposed by different authors
and it is critical for a counselor to employ a combination of
those perspectives to maximize accurate and precise results for
a client. Counseling must have a holistic or integrated approach
to assist with assessing various aspects of the client's personal,
social, and cultural living to understand what career best fits the
client. I strongly believe that this worldview will produce
desirable results and help the counseling profession by finding
innovative ways to effectively maximize the growth of the
client. The two career perspectives chosen to assist an
adolescent are Cognitive Information and Social Cognitive
Perspective. The Cognitive Information Perspective allows
counselors and clients to understand how a career decision is
made and how information pertaining to career development is
used. The Social Cognitive Perspective states that a person’s
behavior is learned by observing others in a social setting
versus a trial and error context (Zunker, 2016). The theories
chosen to fit the worldview described above are the Trait and
Factor theory contributed by Parsons and the Person-in-
Environment theory proposed by Bronfenbrenner. Both theories
will be used to explain how I would help a late adolescent
struggling with a career choice decision (Zunker, 2016).

My Worldview Reflection and Plan For The Adolescent
As a counselor, I will be required to understand the personality
type a person and how the individual’s career decision is made.
In sum, career development is vital in assisting a person to the
journey to a successful and comfortable life. Career
development is used to guide a person to their personal
fulfillment and accomplishments. As aforementioned above, my
worldview on career counseling proposes an integrated
approach that addresses the various components of individual
living. The Cognitive Information and Social Cognitive
Perspective enhances my worldview by allowing me to obtain a
holistic view in the client’s world. The Trait and Factor theory
complimented my worldview, because it focuses on the
individual's capacity and total self when assisting the person
with a career choice. The Person-in-Environment
approach/Ecological theory as suggested by Bronfenbrenner
appreciates the importance of the physical environment and how
it influences one’s beliefs and values. Thus, which I believe
also play a significant role in career choice.

Course Reflection
Introduction to Counseling is a class that has taken me through
a journey of what counseling is. Understanding the meaning of
counseling helps a person appreciate where counseling began.
This class has helped me to decide which area of counseling I

would like to pursue. Individuals who enter the counseling
profession must vow to become aware of their own personal
values and perceptions. A term coined for becoming self-aware
of your own personal values and perceptions is reflective
practitioner. A reflective practitioner is someone that agrees to
evaluate themselves before interfering with someone else life
(Young, 2013). What I Learned
The material from this class has led to a significant amount of
knowledge of the Mental health and School counseling
profession. I have learned about the individuals that has
contributed to the field of counseling, codes of ethics in the
profession, the different counseling organizations, and most of
all what it takes to become a counselor. The people that have
spearheaded the field of counseling are Frank Parsons, Jesse B.
Davis, and Clifford Beers. Frank Parsons is known as the
founder of guidance. He focused on vocational guidance,
growth, and prevention. Jesse B. Davis contributed to the
counseling field by creating school guidance programs in public
schools. Clifford Beers spearheaded the mental health
counseling field (Gladding, 2009).
The code of ethics learned in this class has assisted me with
understanding why there are codes of ethics for the counseling
profession. Codes of Ethics are in place to protect counselors
and clients. Counselors advocate for the profession and for
their clients. Therefore, certain procedures must be in place to
help with maintaining the confidentiality and therapeutic
relationships with all clients. The code of ethics explains many
rules counselors must follow to maximize the care and
protection of every client (Gladding, 2009). Counselors must
seek many certifications to remain effective and current of what
is happening in the field of counseling. Collaboration and
consultation have to be understood. Collaboration in the
counseling profession is teaming up with a people/staff inside
of an organization and having equal responsibility for the
outcome of a case. Consultation includes discussing a client’s
case with other professionals outside of regular work

environment in hope to seek insight and gather evidenced-based
resources that exist to create an intervention that is tailored to
the client (Dougherty, A. 2014). Knowing and understanding
the purpose of being a competent counselor helps with
effectively assisting clients, collaborating with supervisors and
other professionals, and advocating.What I Enjoyed Most and
Least
The thing I enjoyed most and least about Introduction to
Counseling is how this class taught me to become an external
individual that mirrors the beauty in internal things. Changing
the perception of a person could change their life and this class
has done that for me by allowing me to truly see myself.
Becoming a counselor requires a person to be meant to be in the
field, self-aware of themselves, and to possess a comprehensive
skill set to help someone in need (Gladding, 2009). There was
not anything that I enjoyed least about the class. Conclusion
This class has made me realize that the many cultures and
subgroups that we have today work together in ways that help
give people their identity. I realize that having differences are
what makes people unique. Counseling would not exist if it
wasn’t for diversity. The most important thing this class has
taught me, is to be open to ideas that could lead to growth in all
aspects of my life. I plan to use the knowledge that I have
acquired to conform my mind to think like a professional
counselor. I have a long way to go, but this is only the start of
the counseling program. This class has also allowed to become
more conscious of the decisions that I make.

What is Counseling?
Understanding what counseling is prompts us to fathom where
counseling originated. Counseling emanates from between the
late 1890s and early 1900s (Gladding, 2009). Counseling is
perceived to have several meanings and sometimes people
misuse the word counseling or they intertwine what it means
with other similar terms. An example of one of those terms is
guidance. Guidance concentrates on assisting a person or
persons in the decision-making process. Guidance and
counseling are related because guidance helps a person to figure
out what they value (Gladding, 2009). Counseling is a special
profession, whereas one must possess the appropriate skill set to
guide other individuals. People who consider counseling as a
profession has agreed to provide a restorative relationship with
people to professionally assist them with life skills, social
problems, behavioral management, etc. Another definition of
counseling is, a method of eliciting a verbal response from a
client in hope that the client arrives at a helpful solution to
make changes to their current and future problems or issues that
life pitches at them.Counseling and the Therapeutic
Relationship
The best relationship to build to counsel a client is a therapeutic
one. The therapeutic relationship used in counseling is used to
facilitate change. Counseling is a technique used to stimulate a
person to want to become self-aware of themselves, become
open to different experiences, and become adamant about
continuing to change for the better. Counseling is a direct and
indirect way for people to seek help. Helping individuals by the
means of professional counseling allows them to become
conscious, learn new things about their surroundings, channel

their inner charisma, and function better in society. Counseling
is a calling to people who are in the profession due to the many
issues people face (Gladding, 2009).
