Abstract
This paper explores the role of social workers with women who have been physically abused. The writer discusses that social workers seeking to detect physical abuse need to concentrate on markers which can identify the potential emergence and/or presence of violence. The paper points out that behavior patterns can serve as a non-visual marker. Further, the writer notes that psychological damage can occur due to the impact of abuse.
From the Paper
"A significant problem in helping abused women is determining when women are victims of abuse. While it might appear as though detecting the victim of abuse would be a simple task, the reality of the situation is that abused women can come from any demographic population. Victims of physical abuse are arguably easier to detect as there might be commonalities in their patient history or there might be singular events in which their abusers went over the limits of physical tolerance and their victim required medical or legal attention. Even these conditions, however, are rare. It is estimated that approximately 9 million women within the United States are the victims of physical abuse, and less than 3 million women have been officially recorded as the victims of physical abuse."

Behavior Therapy
... the behavioral approach to therapy holds that all of human behavior is learned behavior.

From the Paper
"Research has reported that specialists in the addictions field remain unable to define the factors necessary for effective substance abuse treatment, including competencies and scope of practice needed. Although cognitive-behavioral therapy has been viewed as an optimal treatment for addiction (Crits-Cristoph, 1999, p. 3), others have determined that interpersonal counseling with antidepressants was effective (Covi, Hess, Kreiter, & Haertzen, 1995, p. 341). Since findings are unclear, it appears that further study of the efficacy of substance abuse treatment programs is warranted."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to discuss men?s abuse of women. The abuse of women by men most often takes the form of domestic violence, or wife battering. The extent of this problem in contemporary society is astounding. For example, it has been stated that ?every 15 seconds a woman is beaten severely enough to require medical attention? (Sheiner 15). In addition, it has been estimated that one in 10 women will be ?seriously assaulted by her husband sometime during the course of her marriage? (Carpenter 18). Of these women, it has been determined that 25 percent will be pregnant at the time of the assault (Gondolf 3). Thus, the abuse of women has grown to staggering proportions. Furthermore, it is a problem which occurs in all segments of society and cuts across ?racial and socioeconomic lines? (Sheiner 15)."

Child Abuse and Counseling, 2005.
A look at the important role of a counselor in a child abuse case.
2,000 words (approx. 8.0 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 63.95

Abstract
This paper examines a few articles that address the role of the counselor when dealing with a case of child abuse. The writer explains that the counselor's role includes helping the child itself, but also assisting the parents in dealing with the problem at hand. It concludes that a counselor needs to have a more preventative plan, which will ensure the lowering of risk factors for a child within its community.
From the Paper
"I think it is important for the counselor to focus on preventive rather than ameliorative solutions to deliver a plan that takes school and home environments holistically and seeks to elevate community education about abuse and neglect, because this would create an environment in which young children would have less of a danger of being exposed to abuse and neglect. This is especially important when dealing with younger children because, as one source notes, "Experience is always filtered through the child's current ways of understanding. The child's mind is not a camera that takes faithful pictures of reality. However, as the mind develops, it becomes more in tune with reality" (Miller, 1989, p. 38). The overall goal to the program would be to reduce levels of violence at home, in schools, and therefore in communities."

"This is an area where family therapy can be especially facilitative. For families in which self-expression is considered a weakness, an empowerment approach can help define the family in terms of the unique forms, structures, and roles that clients are actually immersed in or are attempting to renegotiate, rather than in terms of an ideal unit. Clients should be supported in defining their families for themselves and then in using creative outreach strategies to actively involve the identified members in a variety of family sessions."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the article ?Person-Centered Counseling: The Culture? by Ann Shanks Glauser and Jerold Bozarth which explores the conditions that are necessary for successful counseling and focuses especially on the specialty of multicultural counseling. It discusses the argument that person-centered counselling is at the very heart of success in counseling and that the relationship between the client and counselor and the client?s situational and personal resources are the essential variables that determine its success. It provides statistical evidence for the relative unimportance of counseling technique noting that only 15% of the success variance of the counseling relationship comes from technique whereas 30% of the success variance comes from the client-counsellor relationship and an impressive 40% comes from extratherapeutic variables or chance occurrences. It explores the variables of the client-therapist relationship and the extratherapeutic variables of the client and concludes that the article is well-researched and internally consistent.
From the Paper
"The authors then go on to explore the variables of the client-therapist relationship and the extratherapeutic variables of the client. They note that ?most theories consider the (client-therapist) relationship as critical?. A successful relationship is defined by the counselor?s empathy for the client, seen in his or her genuineness with the client, and the counselor?s true respect and value for the client. Glauser and Bazarth note, ?Making judgments about people\'s humanity and its quality due to established criteria is to rely on tired but extremely powerful discourses steeped in oppression.?"

From the Paper
"According to research the most important aspect of cross-cultural counseling that needs to be examined is how a practice is conceptualized(Bogo, George & Tsang, 2003). Traditional counseling methods are often defined as "ethnocentric" even though the client base that many practitioners work from is ethno culturally diverse in nature (McNeill, Horn & Perez, 1995). Many practitioners unfortunately still believe that ethnicity is not a dimension of identity, but rather see it as a client characteristic, thus their practices do not work to embrace ethnic identity as an experience to be shared by all parties involved in the counseling process (Bogo, George & Tsang, 2003)."

Abstract
In this article the writer aims to explore how much satisfaction online counseling brings to clients as compared to the traditional process of face-to-face counseling. The writer looks at changing elements within the field as online counseling continuously grows, achieving success. This paper attempts to explain what methods and modalities work in favor of online counseling and those that yield the highest client satisfaction. Further, the writer points out that legal and ethical issues continue to be a concern when using this new method of counseling. This paper explores the works and areas that increase client satisfaction of online counseling.
From the Paper
"Moreover, according to Leibert's and his colleagues' findings, the foremost benefit to patients why online counseling appeals to them is the preservation of their privacy and anonymity. This is especially true to people who are uncomfortable with the traditional method of therapy and are unable to acquire counseling services because of fear of revealing their identity. With online counseling, such kind of people is already able to get counseling service. Renee Gedge indicates that 91% of people with anxiety disorders prefer therapy served online.
Further advantages found from online counseling is its accessibility to clients. Through online counseling, people who have busy schedules can still acquire therapy without the need to travel. Just by sitting in front of their computers and accessing online counseling services, they can still continue their therapeutic sessions."
