Using search engines and Rasmussen resources, research Gestalt Therapy, an older confrontational treatment model that looks at incongruences between the client’s verbal statements vs the client’s body language, including facial expressions

Module 04 Content

1. Part 1: Read
   Consider the following case scenario:Brent, a 50 year old married male is having anxiety about his young adult daughter Rachel, who in the past year has graduated from high school and is now freshman at a large university. Brent is worried that his daughter will not be successful academically and may make poor choices in deciding to drink with peers or even be a victim or date-rape. Brent’s wife Susan is less worried. She believes that Rachel has a good head on her shoulders, and that as a teenager, she did well in high school and has overall not been known for foolish behavior.
   Part 2: Research
   Using search engines and Rasmussen resources, research Gestalt Therapy, an older confrontational treatment model that looks at incongruences between the client’s verbal statements vs the client’s body language, including facial expressions. While some human service workers and counselors may borrow elements of Gestalt Therapy, very few would identify themselves as Gestalt purists.
   Part 3: Reflect
   For this part of the assignment, you will use your critical thinking skills and reflect upon the case scenario.
   In a minimum of two-pages (not counting the title page and reference page) address the following:
   • Explain the Gestalt Therapy methods.
   • Why the Gestalt approach is rarely used in a pure form.
   • Rather than using a Gestalt approach, discuss which contemporary service model you believe to be the most appropriate for the above case scenario. Why? Be specific.
