I need 500 or more words on this:
For discussion this module/week, we consider how to counsel suffering clients. The class lectures, Entwistle, and McMinn all discuss the concept of suffering and factors guiding how we counsel those who are suffering. In fact, a careful reading of the Reading & Study materials indicates numerous concepts and principles that we could apply as we counsel those who are hurting.
1.Considering the numerous points that were made, make a list of at least 5 concepts (“questions to ask myself as I counsel those who are suffering. . . “) that you found particularly helpful, insightful, unique, or had not thought about before. What guidelines would you particularly emphasize as you counsel hurting people?
2.Then consider this client’s statement: Client: “Dr. Counselor, I have been coming to you now for six weeks. I am not sure that counseling is working. I don’t feel any better now than when we started talking. Why are you not helping to remove this pain that I am feeling?” If your client expects that you help to remove the suffering, how would you respond, based on what you learned from your study for the week?

the corrections commissioner in the State of Euphoria. The Office of Probation, Parole and Correctional Alternatives has just been merged into your department. The office has never had any qualifications or required training for the POs that it hires. You suspect that political patronage has traditionally been the key to getting these jobs. What should be the qualifications for such jobs, keeping in mind what you have learned about the kinds of programs they might be working with? What should you, as the corrections commissioner, do to encourage the recruitment of quality officers? Should POs get the same training as your corrections officers? Keeping in mind the roles that they play and the kinds of functions they serve, what should their training include? What can be done to make these jobs appeal to qualified individuals and to ensure that they perform their jobs effectively and ethically?
