Question Description: One in four women will be a victim of partner violence in her lifetime. One-third of female homicides are at the hands of a partner. Boys who witness relationship violence are twice as likely to abuse their partners. The witnessing of relationship violence during childhood is the strongest risk factor for partner violence among adults (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 2010). These statistics indicate that relationship or family violence is an insidious issue, often resulting in a multigenerational transmittal of trauma. Not only is there the significant physical and emotional traumatic impact of relationship and family violence, but there are also a host of societal problems that occur as a result, including the legal, medical, social, and foster care systems.
For this Discussion, select an example of relationship or family violence from the media (past or present), a book, a movie, or history. Think about the short- and long-term effects on the survivor(s) in the example. Note any special intervention considerations you might need to take into account if treating the survivor(s).
By Day 4
Post a brief description of the example you selected that illustrates relationship or family violence. Explain the primary short-term and long-term effects of the violence on the survivor(s). Include some effects not mentioned in the resource material. Finally, explain any special intervention considerations you might need to take into account if treating the survivor(s).
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources.

Crisis With Individuals, Couples, and Families
Choose Topic: Psychology
Select number of pages: 2
Question Description: Many people do not connect the word crisis to the words couples and families. When considering the impact of issues such as significant illness, death, job loss, addiction, and relationship violence, a crisis is indeed what has happened within a couple or a family. Such an event affects all involved, singularly and collectively. Family systems theories teach that there is a recalibration period after an event occurs for which the collective unit must make adjustments and acclimate to the change, whether that event is positive or negative. When one part of a system is changed, the other parts are impacted as well. For crises that have a family impact, it is important to work within this framework to help the family adjust and recover.
For this Assignment, identify two types of crises experienced by individuals, couples, and/or families. Select two research articles from the Walden Library that discuss interventions for each of the crises you chose (totaling four articles). Think about the merits and limitations of the interventions discussed in your articles and that you would implement in your own practice and why. Consider the cultural, ethical, and/or legal issues related to treating survivors of the two crises you chose.
The Assignment (2–3 pages):
Explain the merits and limitations of the interventions discussed/recommended in the articles.
Explain which intervention(s) you most likely would use in your own practice and why.
Explain the primary cultural, ethical, and/or legal issues related to treating survivors of the two types of crises you chose.
Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are required to provide a reference list and to appropriately cite, in APA style, all references used within your Assignment.

Beatrice is an eager client who has survived a traumatic youth and is committed to maintaining her mental and emotional stability despite her troubled past. She has been in counseling with Diego, a licensed professional counselor, for many months through services paid by a community program. Beatrice was recently hired by a retail store, and for the first time, has health insurance that will cover the cost of her counseling sessions, provided she is diagnosed with a mental and emotional disorder. Because she no longer qualifies for free service, Diego wants to help Beatrice take advantage of her health insurance benefits. At the moment, however, Diego does not believe Beatrice meets any of the criteria for a mental or emotional disorder. Nevertheless, because Beatrice has a history of depression, Diego uses the diagnostic code for depression in the insurance paperwork in order to relieve Beatrice of the burden of paying for counseling at a time when she has many other expenses.

Gella, is a significantly underweight 14-year-old adolescent, who self-identifies as a lesbian. She has come out to her family and friends. Her parents have “permanently grounded” her except for school and church activities and she feels isolated at school. She met with her school counselor and showed signs of an eating disorder, serious depression with a moderately high risk of suicide. Gella admitted to the counselor that she knows where her father hides his guns, but that her religious beliefs stop her from killing herself. The school counselor believes that immediate treatment is essential, but her parents refuse and say they will bring her to the pastor at their conservative church to pray. The counselor is unsure of what to do next.

Darcy is a psychologist in a group practice. He refers to himself as a non-traditional therapist who seeks to integrate non-Western philosophies into therapy and describes his approach as holistic. Darcy believes strongly that the most important factor in psychotherapy is the relationship between counselor and client. He encourages his clients to attend yoga and meditation to resolve emotional issues before considering medication, though he will refer them to a psychiatrist if they prefer traditional methods. He views the use of written records of psychotherapy sessions as incompatible with holistic approach. Consequently, he keeps no records of counseling sessions other than a listing of the client’s name, and the date and length of the session. Not believing in diagnosis, Darcy does not accept insurance and requires that all his clients are self-pay. He explains this process to all clients at the initiation of counseling and obtains their consent prior to beginning therapy.
Vignette 12
Juanita, a 24-year-old Latina, is a counseling intern in an outpatient unit of a psychiatric hospital. Juanita has completed all requirements for her doctorate except internship. The first client to whom she is assigned at the hospital is a man with a diagnosis of Bipolar I Disorder, a history of suicide attempts, and episodes of violent behavior towards his family. Juanita has little experience with clients with such significant problems and asks that the case be transferred to a more experienced professional or that she be an observer or co-therapist for this client. Her supervisor insists that she tackle this case independently because Juanita has completed all her courses on psychopathology and shown good counseling skills with less disturbed clients. The supervisor assures Juanita that she will have all the supervision she needs. Juanita is skeptical about the supervisor’s capacity to meet that commitment because interns from prior years have warned Juanita that this supervisor is often unavailable outside of the regularly scheduled supervision hour. Still, Juanita elects not to try to change her supervisor’s mind about the assignment and goes forward with the sessions. Over the course of the semester, the client makes little progress, and Juanita believes she has gained more from her work with the client than he has gained from her.
