Personal Metaphor
|
15 | Describe both your personal journey and that of the counseling process using an image or picture.
You may use “I” in this section to write about where you are in that picture. Please find some metaphor examples in our Module. |
Client Description
|
15 | Please use third person tense (no “I”, “me”, or “my”) to describe your fictional client with a name and a specific religious or spiritual belief that you would find a challenge.
Make sure you identify a specific mental health presenting problem —> Please note that this cannot be a spiritual struggle or dilemma as you are not qualified as a counselor to attend to these issues and would refer to a religious/spiritual leader in those instances |
Counseling Implications/Applications
|
15 | This section will address how you will – and how will you NOT – as the counselor-in-training, approach this client in counseling using a spiritual formation approach and at least one ASERVIC competency (noted at the beginning of every Chapter in your textbook) learned in class?
Use at least three terms/concepts with examples to attain full credit. |
Personal Development and Self-awareness
|
15 | Refer to limitations, strengths, areas of bias or enculturation – to demonstrate to me that you have an understanding of how religion and spirituality can be imposed upon a client, or enhance the process, specifically due to your own perspective. |
| ACA Ethical Decision Making Model Application | 10 | Use the first four steps of the ACA ethical-decision-making model (Links to an external site.)to attend to the conflicting counselor-client belief as the “problem” |
APA Style and Format
|
10 | Please use at least 4 references. You MAY use your textbook as one source yet be sure to use the original source when one is available (For example: “Spiritual Ecomaps” would be Dodge, 2000 NOT Cashwell & Young, 2011).
Your paper should be about 8-10 pages in length (about two pages per section) NOT counting your title and reference pages. No abstract is necessary but you can include one if you are a bit shy of pages. Remember that this is double-spaced using APA style. Sections 2-4 should be written in third person (no “I”, “me”, or “my”) tense with yourself as the counselor-in-training. Spell/grammar check your paper and read it aloud before submitting. |

Paper Caution! In your paper, do not presume that we need to be experts on religion and spirituality to attend to these elements of diversity for a client. This is NOT a report on what a religious or spiritual belief system is but rather a document that presents HOW we would align in a genuine way with someone who has an orientation that is very different from our own. We need to attend to our own values and beliefs so that we will not impose them inadvertently on our client. This bracketing is imperative even when working within a faith-based practice because our understanding of a shared concept may not be the same as that of the client.
