   chosen video clip to complete all of the questions in this assignment.Choose the Reality theory please.
   • Reality
3. Assess the client being described in the video and that client’s related issues using the questions provided.

Directions:

Using only one case study and one counseling theory throughout your
paper, provide a detailed response to each of the following questions.
For example, if you chose Carol and Psychoanalytic Theory, you would
answer all of the following questions about Carol using the
psychoanalytic theory.

1. Based upon all that you know about your client, identify and
   describe what in your opinion is your client’s most significant problem?
   This may or may not be the stated “Reason for referral” that is written
   at the start of each profile. Give a detailed rationale for your
   assessment and provide supporting evidence from the profile and/or
   counseling session video clip.
2. Identify at least two secondary problems from the client’s profile
   or video that should be addressed at some point in the counseling
   process. Explain your rationale in some detail for choosing each of
   these with supporting evidence from the written profile and/or the
   video.
3. Using your chosen counseling theory, describe what your theory says
   about the possible cause or origin of the primary problem discussed in
   question 1 above. Here, you are trying to explain the assumptions your
   chosen theory makes about problems that might be seen in a counseling
   situation. For example if you assessed your client’s primary problem as
   low self-esteem, a psychoanalytic therapist would delve into the
   unconscious whereas an Adlerian would explore family history and a
   reality therapist would look at choices the person has previously made.
   Explain in detail by including concepts and terms from your chosen
   counseling theory to support your perspective.
4. Explain at least three counseling techniques or core principles from
   your chosen counseling theory that could be used to address the primary
   and secondary problems of your client. Explain how each of these
   techniques or principles would be applied in the counseling session and
   the expected outcome of each.
5. Given what you know about your client’s situation, identify one
   cultural issue that is significant in the client’s life outside of
   therapy or could become an issue between the client and therapist in the
   therapy session. After explaining the issue, explain two ways the
   therapist could sensitively address this cultural issue with the client
   in a way that that avoids stereotyping or bias. Remember to integrate
   your chosen theory into the discussion.
6. If you were to see this client on an ongoing basis, describe the
   types of change or outcomes you could realistically expect to see in
   your client, in light of the primary and secondary problems mentioned
   earlier using your identified approach in therapy. Be specific and show
   how the process of therapy with this counseling approach would lead to
   the outcomes you discuss.
