In this assignment, you will complete a brief comparison and contrast of the modern and postmodern models that were examined in the Unit 6 and Unit 8 assignments respectively. Discuss the implications of how the modern and postmodern models, their characteristics, and their underlying assumptions might impact the work with your case developed in Unit 3 assignment. Develop a rationale for why one model is being selected as a better fit for working with your case. Complete a role-play using the selected model with you acting as the therapist. Transcribe your portion as the therapist for the role-play using the provided transcription template. Identify the model’s characteristics as well as the counseling microskills being demonstrated in the transcription. Please review your course project information and the scoring guide to understand the requirements of this assignment.

In your Model Selection (two to three pages) and Role-Play (two or more pages) be sure to include:
Model Selection:
.Include a brief synopsis of the case study and explain how each model could be a good fit.
.Review the potential benefits of each model in working with your case. Compare and contrast as needed and reflect on the characteristics of each model. Discuss how the modern and postmodern assumptions for each model affect these considerations.
Develop a rationale for the selected model in your case.(which is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.)
Role-Play
For this portion of the assignment, you will pair up with a peer—either from the courseroom, a family member, or colleague from your community to be your client. By now, you have a case description. You have reviewed the major components of your selected model and drafted several questions, concepts, and interventions that would typically be used by clinicians following this model. Consider researching various case studies related to your model in the literature to help brainstorm potential questions, concepts, and interventions to be incorporated into your role-play. Make an appointment with your peer and send him or her a copy of your case study description. Your peer will role-play one of the family members in your case study.
