respond to tessa. I have attached the pdf of chapter 5 for the Adelrian Theory
Presenting Problem:
Olivia is a 15-year-old girl; the oldest of 4 siblings. Along with her siblings, she lives at home with her father (Luis). Olivia’s mom left when she was 9 years old. Her mother is Irish American, and her father is Honduran. Luis works 2 jobs, one on the weekend and one on weekdays. Because he is always gone, Olivia assumes most of the household work and caregiving for her sisters and brother.
Lately, Olivia has been missing and failing many of her classes. She is exhausted and overwhelmed with all the responsibilities that have been placed on her. She has no friends, and her dreams of becoming a veterinarian seem “bleak.” She’s anxious throughout the day, worrying about her siblings and the responsibilities she must juggle on top of her schooling.
Hypothesis:
Olivia is seen as a caregiver because she is the oldest sibling. According to Dufrene and Cruz, a sibling may have more influence over one another than a parent (2022). Olivia’s siblings are much younger than her (11, 9, and 7), so they naturally look to Olivia for their needs, as she is the only one around to take care of them. Another reason Olivia is responsible for her family is because she is female. The family atmosphere is determined by communication and learned gendered behavior (Dufrene & Cruz, 2022). Since Olivia’s father is always working, they see the household and childcare work as her responsibility. These constructs are known as birth order and family constellation.
Goals:
Olivia’s anxiety and depression surrounding her, her social life, and her ability to maintain balance stems from the caregiver responsibilities being thrust upon her. She believes her future is bleak and she will not be able to reach her goal of becoming a veterinarian. The goal is to change her beliefs. Dufrene and Cruz say that the goal of Adlerian counseling is to identify and understand beliefs about life and self so that the client can live a more social life (community) (2019).
Interventions/Techniques:
Intervention 1: Family atmosphere and values
Family atmosphere and values is used to understand family dynamics by hearing from all members of a family (Dufrene & Cruz, 2022). This will help Olivia’s case because the counselor, Olivia, and Olivia’s father will understand her needs and why counseling is needed. They will learn more about their values and how to communicate their needs.
Intervention 2: Encouragement
Encouragement can be used to increase social interest along with overcoming inferiority (Dufrene & Cruz, 2022). This will help reach the goal by helping Olivia to understand her beliefs so that she can change them,
Expected Outcome:
The goal of Adlerian therapy is to create a fulfilling life with the self and others. The counselor should be working toward creating a “democratic family atmosphere and a healthy social interest” (Dufrene & Cruz, 2022, pg. 95). Through the use of these interventions, the expected outcome of Olivia’s case is that she will be able to understand and work on her beliefs so that she can increase her social interest and live a more fulfilling life.

response 2 to ashley:
Client and Theory/ Theorist:
Deidre – Alderian Theory
Presenting Problem:
Deidre is a 21-year-old multiracial female. Deidre is a college sophomore with a part-time job as a barista to help pay her way through school. Deidre has been living on campus in the dorms, 3 hours away from her mother. At 11 years old her parents divorced. Deidre lived with her mother thereafter. Deidre describes her mother as “moody”, and “emotionally erratic”, complaining “endlessly”, making their relationship often combative. Her mother also suffers from diabetes. Her father is described as the exact opposite and defined as tranquil and quiet. Deidre’s father died when she was 15 from a sudden heart attack. Deidre recounts feeling closer to her father despite his quietness and appreciated his calm when spending time with him in the summers. Deidre fears becoming another version of her mother.
Hypothesis:
Deidre is feeling discouragement, remorse, fear, and anxiety due to feeling lonely from not making friends, having an abortion and the absence of her father after his death. Because a child’s social environment is important to their growth and development, a large portion of her suffering stems from family dynamics (Dufrene & Clark, 2022). Deidre believes her father was driven out due to her mother’s mood instability and fears falling into her mother’s footsteps. According to Adler, everyone has the capacity to accept responsibility for their individual thoughts, feelings, and actions. As a result, they can fully participate in society, integrate as individuals, and live fulfilling lives in every aspect of life – including relationships, employment and community (Dufrene et al., 2016).
Goals:
An Alderian counselor would want Deidre to recognize the negative beliefs she has about herself, her life, and others (Dufrene & Clark, 2022). Due to her fear of becoming like her mother and the Adlerian theory explaining how a person behaves in relation to his or her surroundings (Dufrene et al., 2016), it would be necessary to help realize her discouragement. After realization, she would then be able to set goals for herself.
Interventions/Techniques:
My first course of action would be to use lifestyle analysis questions that provide details about the client’s lifestyle, which helps counselors learn more about their clients (Dufrene & Clark, 2022). I might then be able to help Deidre recognize, explore, and analyze her previous and present thoughts and beliefs using Socratic questioning, and encourage her to let go of those things that don’t serve her anymore.
My second would be through encouragement intervention. Deidre would receive encouragement affirmation, and confidence in her skills and potential. Through my capacity as a counselor, I can assist Deidre in gaining self-assurance and value. By concentrating on Deidre’s advantages, emphasizing her successes, and providing her with encouraging remarks. I can help Deidre develop a more positive self-image that will enable her to overcome obstacles. Although Deidre’s lifestyle exploration and birth order are essential to understanding where and who Deidre is now, they do not reflect who she can choose to be, according to Adler, who emphasizes that the most important decisions are the ones that are made now and, in the future, (Dufrene et al., 2016).
Expected Outcome:
My goal and expectation would be that Deidre would feel less tense and anxious after implementing the above interventions and she might even find confidence to form a friendship rather it be at school or at work. Through this theory, I believe Deidre will be able to find constructive answers to her questions about new hope for a healthy, good life and how she can work with others and make a positive contribution to society (Dufrene et al., 2016).
By helping clients manifest a lifestyle that allows them to choose to live a social life while they fulfill the three life tasks of work, community, and love, Alderian therapy seeks to help clients become more personally integrated as individuals (Dufrene et al., 2016).
