From the Paper:

"Based on processes of cognitive behavioral therapy it is apparent that first, Clarissa needs to be aware of the reasons that she is experiencing the feelings that are impacting her existence, i.e., the results of her first marriage. Additionally, Clarissa needs to understand how her gender role philosophy has impacted her inability to take action and be a full partner in her current relationship. These realizations can be accomplished through counseling and the client being capable of discussing the issues that are impacting her life realistically."
