The Crane Family
Carol Crane is now 45 years old and has come in due to a court
order for counseling. Carol has gotten two DUIs and doesn’t
seem to think she has a problem. Although Carol only leaves her
house when she is going to a bar. Carols children are both out
of the house and Carol has been unable to hold down a romantic
relationship. Furthermore, Carol was unable to fulfil her dreams
as a youth and be a writer.
Counseling Goals
It seems as though Carol’s psychological well-being is at stake.
Scientists have discussed six elements that is necessary for an
individual’s psychological well-being, these are: “autonomy,
personal growth, self-acceptance, life purpose, mastery, and
positive relatedness” (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Working
with Carol, it will be important to help her gain resiliency
through helping her integrate her self-representations (Diehl &
Hays, 2010). This will help her to become more self-accepting.
Furthermore, it seems as though Carol is facing an empty-nest
(Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Henning (2011), discusses
enantiodromia; the presence of gains and losses simultaneously.
During the losses that an individual experience, they lose the
sense of self as well as the life that they had grown around that
self (Henning, 2011). For Carol to grow she needs to learn how
to leave her old self and embrace the new self that has grown
around the losses of the old (Henning, 2011). Carol seems to
have brought up a multitude of losses that she is and has
experienced such as failures of romantic relationships, giving
up her dream as a writer and having both of her kids out of the
house. AT this point, it is important for Carol to embrace living
alone again and being able to do things because she wants to.
Therefore, another counseling goal will be to work on Carol
embracing the new self.
Counseling Interventions
It seems as though Carol has not embraced the new self’s that
she has had to create well and will be needing help to gain a
sense of purpose and resiliency in order for her to move
forward. Therefore, I want to help Carol work through the
developmental dilemmas that are unresolved from her past with
her (Henning, 2011). This way she is able to work through them
and learn from the past and help to be able to grow into the
person that is trying to be created, this will mean that Carol and
I will need to understand the specific stage of development,
identify the dilemmas from the past and work through the
dilemmas in a way that meets present and past requirements
(Henning, 2011).
Another counseling intervention I would like to try with Carol
is mindfulness through meditation. It seems as though Carol
may be worrying about her children as she is dealing with the
empty-nest syndrome and other past issues worrying her it is
important to help her lower those stressors so that she is able to
react differently to stressful scenarios. It is clear that the
empty-nest is upsetting to her, furthermore, she brought up not
accomplishing a past dream of being a writer. By practicing
meditation with Carol, she will be able to clear her mind and be
present in the moment (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). This is
important as Carol seems to live in the past a lot. This will help
Carol be able to reduce stress and be able to integrate her self-
representations as we move further into counseling
Summary
Overall, I think Carol has unresolved issues from her past that
have made it hard for her to move on from. It seems as though
Carols children for the most part kept her busy and able to focus
on daily life. However, with having no children in the home
anymore, Carol seems to be stressing about her own identity.
This is evident through Carol bringing up her dream of being a
writer. Furthermore, the losses that Carol experienced at a
younger age were not fully worked through so that she could
come to terms with the losses and gain something from the
losses. This has helped her to create a grouped self-
representations system. Therefore, working through past losses
with Carol and Mindfulness through mediation should help
Carol to integrate self-representations and create a better
cohesive view of herself and help her reduce stress so that she
is able to work through the past issues and accept her new
identity.

Main Discussion Post: Reeves Family
Lucas Reeves
Lucas is 41 years old and a single father of three children.
Lucas has come to counseling because over the past few years;
his attention has been directed towards his children. This
attention has resulted in Lucas putting his career aspirations on
hold for his children, and now that the children are a bit older,
Lucas has started to feel lonely, unsuccessful, and lost. Lucas
explains that his friends are further ahead of him financially and
because of this, he is unable to participate in recreational events
due to his financial limits. Lucas seems to be unsatisfied with
where he is in life, and his present situation is drastically
different from the life he envisioned for himself.
Two developmental challenges associated with Lucas
Middle adulthood is a time where adults reevaluation their lives
regarding their expected goals, legacy, fulfillment, and support.
Lucas seems to be struggling to go through a period of
regulation of loss. Much of Lucas’s life has not been meeting
his needs and expectations he had for himself, and because he
had to adapt to the change of his circumstances (being a single
father of three), he is finding the acceptance of the losses
difficult, thus resulting in distress and dissatisfaction
(Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Lucas explained how his financial
obligations are occupied by his daughter who has fetal alcohol
syndrome and putting his children first. Lucas may never be
able to reach the level of success that his closest friends have
achieved. For Lucas to find contentment, he would need to try
and adjust his expectations and accept lower levels of
functioning (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015).
Another developmental challenge occurring in Lucas’s case is
Erikson’s theory of self-concept. Lucas’s stage of development
is categorized by generativity vs. stagnation which is the
primary focus of concern in middle adulthood (Broderick &
Blewitt, 2015). Many areas of Lucas’s life compromise the
security of this stage in Erikson’s theory. Adults often
reevaluation and reflect on the imitate relationships they have,
the legacy they have built, and the meaning their life brings to
them which all bring fulfillment that contributes to a person’s
identity and self-concept. Adulthood comes with many
challenges all on its own, and to complete one’s life structure,
adults have to address issues as arise to develop further.
Depending on the challenge that occurs, how a person handles
the issues determine whether some of the “aspects of oneself are
lived out; or other aspects are inhibited or neglected’ (Henning,
2011, p. 1). Due to the many unfortunate circumstances that
have occurred in Lucas’s life, he has had to raise three children
independently which has caused him to sacrifice many aspects
of himself that are now robbing him of a satisfying and
fulfilling life and thus resulting in an undesirable identity and
self-concept.
Two potential counseling goals and interventions
Potential counseling goals that would benefit Lucas and
improve his quality of life are goals that focus on meeting his
needs. Much of his dissatisfaction stems from the self-sacrifice
he has made for the betterment of his children and his neglect
for self-care has cost him a tremendous amount in his
professional and personal life. Helping him answer the
questions of how to improve his life and what steps to take may
alleviate some fear and doubt he may have (Laureate Education,
2013h). One goal in helping Lucas may to improve his self-
concept and find meaning in life by integrating personal goals
that help him to advance in life (Laureate Education, 2013h).
One particular goal may be to address his concerns professional
by brainstorming ways in which to advance. Helping Lucas run
through scenarios and what they may look like and feel to him
could elicit hope that will drive him to take the step in the
direction that provides him purpose. Some goals could be going
back to school, taking on my work responsibility, or fundraise
for a new project.
Another goal for counseling could be to increase personal
control as a resilience factor to stress. Studies show that
personal control is positively correlated to adjustment and well-
being (Diehl & Hay, 2010). Considering the abundance of
obligations, Lucas has, and the amount of distress he is
experiencing, establishing personal control and healthy ways to
implement personal control into his life may drastically improve
his quality of life and physical and mental well-being. Healthier
control will also contribute to a greater and more positive self-
concept which may have a reciprocal effect on other domains of
his life.
Summary
Adulthood is undoubtedly marked by tremendous development
challenges. A complete and holistic understanding of adult
theories and developmental changes can improve case
conceptualization when working with clients struggling with
various issues that accompany adulthood. With greater
knowledge comes greater and more effective approaches that
will prove to be beneficial for clients in this stage of
development.

please write responses separately. Peer Response one K.M

  • 1. please write responses separately. Peer Response one K.M The Crane Family Carol Crane is now 45 years old and has come in due to a court order for counseling. Carol has gotten two DUIs and doesn’t seem to think she has a problem. Although Carol only leaves her house when she is going to a bar. Carols children are both out of the house and Carol has been unable to hold down a romantic relationship. Furthermore, Carol was unable to fulfil her dreams as a youth and be a writer. Counseling Goals It seems as though Carol’s psychological well-being is at stake. Scientists have discussed six elements that is necessary for an individual’s psychological well-being, these are: “autonomy, personal growth, self-acceptance, life purpose, mastery, and positive relatedness” (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Working with Carol, it will be important to help her gain resiliency through helping her integrate her self-representations (Diehl & Hays, 2010). This will help her to become more self-accepting. Furthermore, it seems as though Carol is facing an empty-nest (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Henning (2011), discusses enantiodromia; the presence of gains and losses simultaneously. During the losses that an individual experience, they lose the sense of self as well as the life that they had grown around that self (Henning, 2011). For Carol to grow she needs to learn how to leave her old self and embrace the new self that has grown
  • 2. around the losses of the old (Henning, 2011). Carol seems to have brought up a multitude of losses that she is and has experienced such as failures of romantic relationships, giving up her dream as a writer and having both of her kids out of the house. AT this point, it is important for Carol to embrace living alone again and being able to do things because she wants to. Therefore, another counseling goal will be to work on Carol embracing the new self. Counseling Interventions It seems as though Carol has not embraced the new self’s that she has had to create well and will be needing help to gain a sense of purpose and resiliency in order for her to move forward. Therefore, I want to help Carol work through the developmental dilemmas that are unresolved from her past with her (Henning, 2011). This way she is able to work through them and learn from the past and help to be able to grow into the person that is trying to be created, this will mean that Carol and I will need to understand the specific stage of development, identify the dilemmas from the past and work through the dilemmas in a way that meets present and past requirements (Henning, 2011). Another counseling intervention I would like to try with Carol is mindfulness through meditation. It seems as though Carol may be worrying about her children as she is dealing with the empty-nest syndrome and other past issues worrying her it is important to help her lower those stressors so that she is able to react differently to stressful scenarios. It is clear that the empty-nest is upsetting to her, furthermore, she brought up not accomplishing a past dream of being a writer. By practicing meditation with Carol, she will be able to clear her mind and be present in the moment (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). This is important as Carol seems to live in the past a lot. This will help
  • 3. Carol be able to reduce stress and be able to integrate her self- representations as we move further into counseling Summary Overall, I think Carol has unresolved issues from her past that have made it hard for her to move on from. It seems as though Carols children for the most part kept her busy and able to focus on daily life. However, with having no children in the home anymore, Carol seems to be stressing about her own identity. This is evident through Carol bringing up her dream of being a writer. Furthermore, the losses that Carol experienced at a younger age were not fully worked through so that she could come to terms with the losses and gain something from the losses. This has helped her to create a grouped self- representations system. Therefore, working through past losses with Carol and Mindfulness through mediation should help Carol to integrate self-representations and create a better cohesive view of herself and help her reduce stress so that she is able to work through the past issues and accept her new identity.

Peer Response two T.H Main Discussion Post: Reeves Family Lucas Reeves Lucas is 41 years old and a single father of three children. Lucas has come to counseling because over the past few years; his attention has been directed towards his children. This attention has resulted in Lucas putting his career aspirations on hold for his children, and now that the children are a bit older, Lucas has started to feel lonely, unsuccessful, and lost. Lucas explains that his friends are further ahead of him financially and because of this, he is unable to participate in recreational events due to his financial limits. Lucas seems to be unsatisfied with where he is in life, and his present situation is drastically different from the life he envisioned for himself. Two developmental challenges associated with Lucas Middle adulthood is a time where adults reevaluation their lives regarding their expected goals, legacy, fulfillment, and support. Lucas seems to be struggling to go through a period of
  • 5. regulation of loss. Much of Lucas’s life has not been meeting his needs and expectations he had for himself, and because he had to adapt to the change of his circumstances (being a single father of three), he is finding the acceptance of the losses difficult, thus resulting in distress and dissatisfaction (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Lucas explained how his financial obligations are occupied by his daughter who has fetal alcohol syndrome and putting his children first. Lucas may never be able to reach the level of success that his closest friends have achieved. For Lucas to find contentment, he would need to try and adjust his expectations and accept lower levels of functioning (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Another developmental challenge occurring in Lucas’s case is Erikson’s theory of self-concept. Lucas’s stage of development is categorized by generativity vs. stagnation which is the primary focus of concern in middle adulthood (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Many areas of Lucas’s life compromise the security of this stage in Erikson’s theory. Adults often reevaluation and reflect on the imitate relationships they have, the legacy they have built, and the meaning their life brings to them which all bring fulfillment that contributes to a person’s identity and self-concept. Adulthood comes with many challenges all on its own, and to complete one’s life structure, adults have to address issues as arise to develop further. Depending on the challenge that occurs, how a person handles the issues determine whether some of the “aspects of oneself are lived out; or other aspects are inhibited or neglected’ (Henning, 2011, p. 1). Due to the many unfortunate circumstances that have occurred in Lucas’s life, he has had to raise three children independently which has caused him to sacrifice many aspects of himself that are now robbing him of a satisfying and fulfilling life and thus resulting in an undesirable identity and self-concept. Two potential counseling goals and interventions
  • 6. Potential counseling goals that would benefit Lucas and improve his quality of life are goals that focus on meeting his needs. Much of his dissatisfaction stems from the self-sacrifice he has made for the betterment of his children and his neglect for self-care has cost him a tremendous amount in his professional and personal life. Helping him answer the questions of how to improve his life and what steps to take may alleviate some fear and doubt he may have (Laureate Education, 2013h). One goal in helping Lucas may to improve his self- concept and find meaning in life by integrating personal goals that help him to advance in life (Laureate Education, 2013h). One particular goal may be to address his concerns professional by brainstorming ways in which to advance. Helping Lucas run through scenarios and what they may look like and feel to him could elicit hope that will drive him to take the step in the direction that provides him purpose. Some goals could be going back to school, taking on my work responsibility, or fundraise for a new project. Another goal for counseling could be to increase personal control as a resilience factor to stress. Studies show that personal control is positively correlated to adjustment and well- being (Diehl & Hay, 2010). Considering the abundance of obligations, Lucas has, and the amount of distress he is experiencing, establishing personal control and healthy ways to implement personal control into his life may drastically improve his quality of life and physical and mental well-being. Healthier control will also contribute to a greater and more positive self- concept which may have a reciprocal effect on other domains of his life. Summary Adulthood is undoubtedly marked by tremendous development challenges. A complete and holistic understanding of adult

With greater knowledge comes greater and more effective approaches that will prove to be beneficial for clients in this stage of development. References: Broderick, P. C., & Blewitt, P. (2015).
