Using the scenario below in quotation marks the paper should be on the application of BPS and CRSJ in order to explore the disorder/topic in preparation or progress toward treatment. The first step is to assess and explore layers that would impact the client and clinical process using references (i.e., layers outlined in BPS/CRSJ). Discuss the importance of developing the therapeutic relationship and your role as a therapist. “Bethany is a woman coming from a family of four. Bethany is 22 years old, physically healthy, and single. Bethany is the oldest child with a younger sister, and two younger brothers. Bethany’s father is hard working and was somewhat distant in Bethany’s childhood however Bethany believes their father provided a good home and the necessities of life. Bethany’s mother also worked hard in a high-pressure office environment and often came home expressing her anxiety over the decisions made and the people she worked with. Current Situation Bethany currently attends University, is in the third year of a science program and is struggling with grades and assignments. Bethany begins to tell you about their personal emotional issues over the past year as Bethany has experienced many different events. Bethany has become involved with friends that seem to enjoy partying and social gatherings during a time of COVID 19. Bethany has struggled to find their place to fit in with friends as Bethany also fears ejection. Bethany has been introduced to alcohol and drugs at a number of the parties and has been more involved in consumption of alcohol and drugs (mainly marijuana) more than what Bethany has been comfortable doing. Bethany has significant mood swings of feeling elated and everything is great for a few days to not wanting to go out and avoiding people. Bethany has also realized their mother has become quite forgetful of events and trying to put sentences together. Bethany’s father believes their mother is just under pressure and nothing is wrong. The last time Bethany was at home they noticed their mother not remembering where she had placed certain items she was just using, and at one point looked at Bethany and asked “who are you”? Bethany is very concerned for their mother and wants the family to have an assessment completed however Bethany’s siblings are not in favour at this time. Bethany explains they are experiencing a great deal of anxiety as the pressure of assignments begins to build, exams are coming, and Bethany does not feel prepared. Bethany also explained as a young child Bethany experienced rejection as those in school often made fun of her and teased Bethany. Bethany tells you how they have been feeling quite low in mood and is concerned about how they will be able to move forward”

It is important to acquire a copy of the APA publication manual and learn how to use APA style competently since use of APA style is mandatory in the program. Faculty instructors will expect you to use it in your formal written assignments throughout the MACP program and will deduct marks if documents contain APA errors. Discussion posts can be written in a less formal style but must still recognize others’ work.
