Discuss the therapeutic relationship and be specific as it relates to this client.

Case Scenario
Introduce a fictional case scenario to include the following components: client’s name, age, cultural background, presenting problem (include duration and intensity of the client’s chief complaint).
If you have an idea of the client population you want to work with (e.g., substance abuse, children and teens, crisis, etc.), I suggest creating a case scenario to reflect your target population. If you don’t know yet, that’s fine too! Just be thorough and address the above components.
Case Conceptualization
The case conceptualization will include your analysis of this client through the lens of two theories of your choice. Please include separate headings for each theory to organize your paper. Please include the following:
Through the lens of your theory, what is your view of human nature related to this client (e.g., capacity for change, what motivates us as people, what guides behavior, relationship to the environment, etc.). Tailor your thinking to this specific client and what they are presenting to therapy for. Include subheading View of Human Nature.
Through the lens of your theory, what is your role as the counselor? Discuss the therapeutic relationship and be specific as it relates to this client. Include subheading Therapist’s Role and the Therapeutic Relationship.
Through the lens of your theory, please discuss the therapeutic process. As applicable to your theory, discuss goals, techniques, and approach you will use with this client. Include subheading The Therapeutic Process.
Cultural Considerations
Please discuss your client’s culture. Then, through the lens of each theory, discuss considerations related to the strengths and shortcomings of your theory from a diversity perspective. Are there adjustments you had to make to value and respect the client’s culture?
Empirical Evidence
