COUNSELING ASSIGNMENT
In preparation for the Reaction Paper and by completing your textbook readings, you will be equipped to describe ethical and legal issues and differentiate counselor's roles according to specific state requirements.
A reaction paper is a way of responding to readings, lectures, and life experiences that requires the learner to interact with new ideas and techniques on several levels. Your review can be accomplished by thinking of 3 words: summarize, reflect, and act. For this assignment, you will read and respond to Chapter 10 of the Sanders text.
Cjapter 10: The Sexual Minority Client by Mark A. Yarhouse, Jill L. Kays and Stanton L. Jones.
Your paper must be divided into the headings listed below.
Summarize
Summarize what you have read by condensing Chapter 10 of the Sanders text into 1-2 pages. Prove that you comprehend the material by writing a direct summary. A summarization is not a commentary; rather, it is an insightful précis of the longer, more elaborate chapter. It must provide a clear overview of the material.
Reflect
What new questions or realizations occurred for you after reading the chapter? What concepts did you take away from this chapter? Explain the concepts you took away by giving examples from your personal experience/situation. Use questions or statements such as:
