Assignment 1 Instructions
Make sure to fully respond to each question and to use the rubric to guide your writing (the rubric is
used to determine your grade). Your assignments should be written in accordance with APA 6 th
edition guidelines and contain two professional sources (your textbook may count as one of your
resources). Although there is no minimum page length requirement for this assignment, you will likely
write a minimum of five pages to fully address all of the prompts. See the assignment template to help
you organize your writing.
1) Presenting Concern/s:
a. Which of this week’s theoretical approaches you will use to conceptualize the case and why.
b. What do you see as the client’s presenting concerns/basic conflicts?
c. Based upon the concerns you identified, discuss which you would address first and why based
upon the theoretical approach.
2) Three Central Concepts of the Approach/Theory:
a. Identify three central concepts of the approach (other than any you previously used to answer the
above question) and describe the central concepts.
b. Explain how the central concepts are relevant to working with the client or understanding the
case.
c. Clarification Notes: This week you are learning about Background Approaches. The term
Background Approaches is umbrella term to describe a family of approaches that share certain
characteristics (for example: focusing on the background of a client). Under this umbrella term
you can select any one of the approaches covered this week for your assignment (e.g., individual
psychology, classic psychoanalysis) to use to complete the assignment. When we refer to key
concepts of the approaches, we are referring to the concepts that are central to the approach. For
example, in classic psychoanalysis, Freud’s concepts of the structural model (id, ego, and
superego) is an example of a central concept. Let’s say you selected individual psychology as
your approach, Adler’s concept of lifestyle is another example of a central concept.
3) Strengths and Limitations:
a. Analyze two strengths of the approach for working with the client.
b. Analyze two weakness of the approach for working with the client.
4) Reflection:
a. Provide at least one example of how you could apply any strategy, technique, or concept of this
theoretical approach to an area of your life to learn something about yourself personally. Also,
explain what you learned.
b. What challenges did you encounter when attempting to apply an aspect of this theoretical
approach to your life? Provide at least one example.
c. Did you notice any cultural limitations/obstacles to applying this approach to your life? Describe
the cultural limitation or explain how the approach is culturally responsive.
Case Scenario
The Case of Jen:
Jen is a 19-year-old sophomore in college. She was raised by both her parents up to the age of 12 when
her father cheated on her mother and then left them to get marry his mistress. Jen began to blame herself
for her father leaving, and felt that she was not a good enough daughter. The father moved out, but still
regularly saw Jen each week, talked to her on the phone, and attended her athletic and school activities.
However, when Jen turned 14, her father had two twin boys with his new spouse. Soon after Jen’s father
moved to a new state with his “new” family. Jen was deeply hurt and felt that her father chose his “new”
family over her. Jen and her father have since stopped talking.
Currently, as a sophomore in college, Jen has begun exploring relationships with men. However, she
found that she had difficulty trusting the men, and is convinced that they will somehow let her down if
she gives them the chance. Although Jen seems clear about not wanting to risk trusting men, she realizes
that this notion is self-defeating and would like to challenge her views. Though she wants to change the
way in which she perceives and feels about men, somehow she seems to have an investment in her belief
about their basic untrustworthiness. She is not very willing to look at her part in keeping this assumption
about men alive. Rather, she would prefer to pin the blame on her father. It was he, who taught her this
lesson, and now it is difficult for her to change, or so she reports.

Title of Paper
Every paper you write should start off with a title heading that services as an introduction
to the paper. The introduction should be 3-5 sentences.
Presenting Concern
You will likely need to write about one full page or more (depending on your writing
style) to fully address each question below. I would suggest including one paragraph per
question. Start each paragraph off with a transition sentence that includes words from the rubric
or question that you will be addressing in that paragraph (this will make it clear to the reader
where you are addressing each prompt and rubric point). After you address the questions,
remember to delete the question. Then review your work against the Rubric and “grade” your
own paper to ensure you addressed each point. Remember to delete the screen shot of the rubric
prior to submitting. Remember to utilize your sources to support your ideas as appropriate and
follow APA guidelines. Proof read twice.
