Life Transition Position Paper
Watch the video below about a man facing a transition in his marital life and with family interactions. After watching the video, reflect on the actions and questions of the therapist as she interacts with the client. Write a four-page position paper about the therapy session in which you discuss the client’s problem, the effectiveness of the therapeutic approach, the therapist’s technique, the solution, and any change you would make if you were the therapist. You may include any other impressions you have about the session or treatment. Support your points by incorporating information from at least two peer-reviewed journal articles.

Is there a specific response or therapeutic question(s) the therapist should be responding to concerning this client?
What might the therapist be looking for? What tools might be used in order to assist this client? How might a client-centered therapist discover the depth beneath the upper layer?
The central theme/purpose of the paper is clear.
The paper includes an Abstract that is formatted to support the appropriate version of APA Publication Manual (e.g. 6th edition).
