Three areas of assessment are identified-(a) assessment of individual ego development, (b) assessment of family of origin functioning, and (c) assessment of the nature of the parents' divorce (e.g., level of conflict). This paper presents an integrative model of treatment-family focused relational psychotherapy-and applies it to work with adult children of divorce (ACDs). Theory-specific information on diagnosis, psychophar-macology, spirituality, and gender issues is also discussed, and the book is accompanied by a companion website where professors and students will find exercises and course material that will further deepen their understanding of counseling theory and allow them to easily bridge classroom study to future practice. Chapters include new case excerpts and clinical examples, and each chapter follows a consistent structure in its exploration of each the-ory's features, including its approach to and ideas on personality development, human nature, the role of environment, the change process in therapy, and contributions and limitations to the mental health field. With new information on multiculturalism, diversity, and cutting-edge theories such as psychosynthesis, the book offers a detailed description of the philosophical basis for each theory as well as historical context and biographical information on each theory's founder. The third edition of Theoretical Models of Counseling and Psychotherapy provides a comprehensive overview of a variety of major counseling theories and focuses on the integration of different theoretical models. Practice implications are drawn from the strength of Gestalt techniques to design culturally-sensitive principles with Asian clients and families. These dialogues support positive outcomes in (1) responding to the therapeutic exercise, (2) engaging in therapeutic work on their issue, (3) responding to treatment within one session and showing progress within two sessions, and (4) expressing emotions or unresolved conflict throughout the therapeutic journey. From concrete evidence with their Asian clients, the authors illustrate specific therapeutic steps with practice dialogues to help practitioners develop culturally-sensitive skills in the process of using empty-chair techniques. The applications of various empty-chair methods are based on four characteristics of many Asian clients: (1) connecting the meaning of “shame” in therapeutic interventions, (2) avoiding the loss of “face” in confronting relatives and friends, (3) using alternative and complementary means to replace traditional therapy and direct confrontation, and (4) using inner control and spirituality in resolving interpersonal guilt and conflict. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2021.The authors have used Gestalt empty-chair techniques in social work settings, helping Asian clients who may be nonexpressive to deal with bereavement issues, to confront parent–child relationship issues, and to express feelings toward personal losses. Gender-based discussion Heroic belief Parental inclusion Single-headed families. If children continue consuming Disney movies, parental involvement is needed to facilitate discussions of real-life learning to help children develop communication skills. Parents can engage children in discussions about friendship and family relationships after watching a movie. Findings show that families could use Disney animated movies illustrating fantasy and reality. The movies released during 2000-2020 showed a higher parental presence than the previous seven vicennial periods. Half of the 48 parental-presence films projected life in a single-headed family and the main characters' heroic image. Most of these 155 stories (n = 97, 61.3%) did not mention the child's biological parents. Data included the leading child, parents or parental figures, and the central theme of the movie. We read relevant website-posted plots and themes of each selected movie from three major informational websites. With three inclusion criteria (figure-length, animated, and at least one child being the protagonist), we found 155 films for the general audience released between 19. This exploratory study examines how Disney animated movies over the last eight decades portraited parents in the life of the leading child characters. This study uses the Social Capital Theory as the framework to support its focus on parental attention to children's developmental learning needs. Globally, Disney animated films integrate education into entertainment for families with children.
