Counseling goals and appropriate interventions should be identified within the context of the theory selected. The following must be included in the paper:  1. Overview of major assumptions of the evidence based theory/model you have chosen.  2. Initial assessment of client. How do you understand the presenting issues and the client’s strengths and challenges as seen through the theory/model? (Be sure to address all 3 of these).  3. Goals of counseling based on the client’s presenting problem and your theory of choice. Answer the following questions: 1) What are the goals of counseling, based on your theory? And, 2) What are specific treatment goals you would recommend for your client through the lens of your theory/model. Be sure to write SMART goals(Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely).  4. Discuss the therapeutic procedure and techniques appropriate for this client based on the theory/model.  5. What are the strengths and limitations of the theory/model of counseling you have chosen in light of the client’s gender, race, SES, physical/intellectual/health ability, sexual orientation, religion, and ethnicity? (You must address each of these, even if an identity is not known, there should be a statement on each aspect of identity in relation to how the theory/model aligns with that identity.).

Identify two people or a caregiver (as in the case of an infant), who represent two different stages of the life span—ideally, two who do not identify with your own current stage of life span development—and set up an brief 15–20 minute interview with them for this assignment. For example, select an adolescent and a senior in late adulthood, or the parent of a newborn and a child in late childhood.  Conversationally interview these two people in order to compare what you have learned here in class, through the textbook, lectures, and videos, with their perception of what it is actually like to be in their stage of life. Interviews may be done via phone, Skype, email, etc. Take notes or record (with permission) your interview.   You do not need to cover all of these topics in your paper, but they will help you shape your discussion. Be sure to note which topics you discuss. In your write up, tell us the gender, age, identified life stage of development, and cultural identification(s) of the individuals you interviewed. Be sure to maintain each individual’s privacy and confidentiality when asked to do so. Summarize the topics you discussed and share your interviewees’ responses (you may paraphrase and quote). In your paper, after you have shared what the interviewees discussed, share your thoughts on the process of talking with someone about their place in the life span. Did you learn anything from your conversations that you did not learn in the academic materials? How accurate do you think psychologists have been in identifying and classifying the different life stages? Explain. Your paper should be 2–4 pages long not including the title and reference pages. Be sure to include a brief introduction and a conclusion to your paper. Use current APA Style throughout, include a title page, cite your interviews parenthetically within the paper, and include a reference page for any other resources you use, such as your text or course materials.
