Abstract
This paper discusses the adolescent in a multicultural and ethnic school system. According to this paper, American schools are increasing in cultural diversity, but remain based on standard majority student norms. This paper reports that teachers and educators employed by this school system, are ill equipped to deal with the growing present needs of the culturally diverse student body.
From the Paper
"There are an increasing number of children from diverse backgrounds entering the US school system. Projects for the future (Hodjkinson, 1985; Sue, 1992 as cited in Holcomb-McCoy, 2004) indicate that "the majority of children attending public school in the year 2020 will be children-of-color or children from diverse cultural, ethnic and/or linguistic backgrounds." Many school professionals, especially counselors, are unequipped to deal with the problems facing the students, teachers and parents in their role as counselor and consultant. This is such a growing concern that the American School Counselor Association adopted a position statement urging school counselors to take action in order to assure that all students, those from traditional as well as culturally diverse backgrounds have access to appropriate services and opportunities."

From the Paper
"The therapist counseling the adolescent confronts several issues that potentially influence not only the relationship between him or her and the adolescent client, but also the outcome of the therapeutic process. Of foremost concern is that the therapist must consult with the parents and/or significant others of the adolescent, which could put his or her and the client's relationship at risk. There is also concern to be given to the fact that adolescents as a whole possess negligible lifetime experience with which to successfully mediate emotional problems. Contingent upon the age, state of the family (i.e., functional versus dysfunctional), the resulting home environment, and life-time experiences, the adolescent may have limited cognitive abilities, limited education, and an immature emotional...

Abstract
In this paper, the writer explains that multicultural psychology is a branch of study that focuses on cultural diversity and aims at providing strategies and solutions in dealing with racial, ethnic or cultural differences in the course of interpersonal relations. The writer discusses that traditional psychology usually studies the individual and the intra-psychic phenomena, whereas multicultural psychology focuses on the extra-psychic factors that influence the development and the social identity of a person, such as belonging to a particular culture or ethnicity. The writer points out that multicultural psychology needs to use an interdisciplinary theoretical basis and take into consideration all the factors that might influence the development of a certain individual.
The writer concludes that every ethnic group faces certain problems when trying to adapt to a different cultural space.
From the Paper
"Multicultural competencies enable an individual to work well and interact properly in a cross cultural environment. The major and indispensable multicultural competencies are: cultural self- awareness together with cultural awareness of the others' views and attitudes, cultural knowledge including historical background, traditions and customs and cultural skills that help communication and integration in a multicultural situation. Thus, multicultural competencies consist primarily of specific cultural knowledge regarding the other ethnicities, and of an appropriate understanding of their different worldviews and attitudes. Different races and ethnicities have different perspectives on life and respect different sets of value."

Abstract
Child And Adolescent Counseling: Case Presentation And Treatment Plan
Introduction: Subject Description, Presenting Problems, Diagnosis, Goals, And Description Of Intervention
Client And Family Dynamics
Diagnosis using the DSM IV, 5-Axis
3 General Treatment Goals For This Client
3 Objectives For Each Goal
Rationale For Treatment Plan
From the Paper
"The three goals cited earlier in this paper were chosen because this child has a profound guilt complex that has led her towards two aborted suicide attempts. Further, because she is deeply withdrawn, she is forcing herself to shoulder all of her pain without others to assist her; she is also more likely to consider suicide again without others to dissuade her. Finally, it is clear she must re-capture her self-esteem or she will continue to repeat the "endless loop" she is on. Of all of these issues, it seems paramount to address her feelings of guilt, for she has enough to worry about without shouldering the blame for the despicable actions of another."

Abstract
This paper critically evaluates the integration of Person-Centered, Behavior, and Family Systems theories as they apply to counseling adolescents with substance abuse history. The paper will also reveal the therapy approaches in school, group, and private settings.
From the Paper
"In the United States, substance abuse is a grave dilemma across all sections of the population. Various studies have concluded that substance abuse is the most devastating and the most common mind disorder among Americans. Researchers have established that substance abuse is the foremost enduring health dilemma, and the foremost prison dilemma in the United States. Substance abuse has got a lot of attention in the prevalent, as well as practiced literature in current years. The dilemmas of community statistics with numerous illegal substances receive almost weekly attention in the media (Clayton and Elsie, 1997). Given this observation, the excessive occurrence of substance abuse in the society, the financial expenses, and the costs in human distress, it is very important that counseling specialists are educated on the subject of substance abuse as a disability."

Abstract
This paper explains that working alliances between disparate rehabilitation system caregivers, justice system professionals and parents are the most effective means of achieving desirable behavioral and attitudinal changes. The paper states that acting-out or delinquent behavior is recognized as an associated feature of adolescent depression disorders. The author believes that the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) is a valuable tool in assisting caseworkers, social workers and counselors in developing effective treatment regimens.
From the Paper
"Miser (1996) commented that difficulty in the assessment and treatment of juvenile delinquents can be explained by social labeling theory. In this theory, it is posited that any delinquent act, regardless of underlying causes, is a legal construct that carries a label capable of influencing the clinical judgment of those who assess and then treat such clients. Abnormal behavior is defined in terms of a legal violation and some type or degree of punitive treatment or response is then required. The mere act of labeling the youthful offender as ?delinquent? produces adverse effects on self-concept, which is believed by some to insulate against delinquency. Lower levels of self-concept are associated with deviant labels. Counseling the youthful offender therefore often focuses on development of a positive self-concept or image."

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)."

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."

Abstract
This paper relates that as genetic screening becomes more common so will the need to deal with persons who are displeased with its results and revelations. The paper then discusses how clinicians must acquire grief and bereavement counseling skills if they are to provide advice and information about interpreting and making decisions about a genetic screening. The paper emphasizes the importance of having such skills and presents examples of situations that illustrate why grief and bereavement counseling skills are so important in genetic screening. The paper concludes that, if the counseling experience is to be satisfactory, the counselor must help parents meet the immediate and long-term social needs of affected individuals in addition to their medical needs.
From the Paper
"However imperfectly it is disseminated, via phone, or arranging for another appointment at a later date, follow-up counseling is just as essential as follow-up physical care. Many counselors believe "the couple should be advised not to have another child until the grieving process has been completed. Counseling should be directed at helping the couple overcome feelings of guilt, feelings of decreased self-worth and feelings of defectiveness. Referral to support groups may be helpful or the use of non-judgmental counseling and support structures that are accessible within the couple's own community (Rosenfeld 1992:1). Providing advice about creating such groups within communities without access to the more extensive array of options in urban locations should be a long-term goal pursued by the health care community."

Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"These stages are often referred to as "forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning." The first stage of 'dependency' or 'forming' is a time when members explore the group and themselves and establish trust. The second stage of 'conflict' or 'storming' may be either "overt or covert. The type and amount of conflict that is generated relates to how much jockeying for position goes on in the group." Stage three is 'cohesion' or 'norming' in which a "spirit of we-ness" is established and each person feels a part of the group which is conducive to "productive sharing"."
