I need an explanation for this Social Science question to help me study.

Directions:

To prepare for this Assignment, review the Disruptive Behaviors Part Two media and select a particular child or adolescent with a disruptive behavior. Consider one strength and one weakness of the therapeutic relationship with the child or adolescent during the counseling sessions.

The Assignment (3–5 pages) is in two parts:

Part One: Ineffective Interventions

• Identify the less effective counseling session you selected, and explain why it was less effective.
• Identify and explain the intent of the target goal in the counseling session.
• Explain one ineffective aspect of the counseling approach and why.
• Explain one misstep the counselor made that inhibited the development of a therapeutic relationship and why.

Part Two: Effective Interventions

• Identify the more effective counseling session you selected, and explain why it was more effective.
• Explain one intended goal the counselor was attempting to accomplish in the counseling approach and why.
• Explain one ineffective aspect of the counseling approach and why.
• Explain two critical skills the counselor demonstrated that promoted the development of a therapeutic relationship and how those critical skills were used.
