Abstract
An essay which examines the process by which new clients are evaluated in health and fitness facilities by trained staff and/or personal trainers. It begins by examining the various measurement tools for carrying out client evaluations and then goes on to discuss practical strategies for implementing the results of those evaluations into an overall fitness program for clients.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, evaluations are common in all sectors of the health and fitness industry, including "corporate, commercial, clinical, and community" (Grantham et al. 474). Evaluations are also an on-going phenomena. That is, an initial evaluation will not be the first and last word in how a client's fitness regime is developed. Certainly, as time goes on, a given client's level of fitness and corresponding health-related needs will need to be monitored, re-evaluated, and constantly altered, wherever the need arises. A steady health and exercise regime will result in enormous changes to a client's physical body. With those changes in mind a new set of objectives, or a new dimension to the exercises, can be more easily integrated into the overall program."

Abstract
Unlike therapy and psychological assessments at the individual level, an entirely new level of complications emerges when we deal with those same disciplines at the group level. For the practicing psychologist at the individual level, one needs only to agree to meet with the client and then proceed to do so according to the individual needs and capacity of the client. However, when one considers the group environment, wherein the psychologist collectively works with several patients who are also encouraged to work with one another, client selection in particular can be made all the more difficult. This paper compares the differences for the practicing psychologist in client selection at the individual level vs. the group level. The paper points out that all the the process is more complicated at the group level, there are also benefits to be had in the group session such as more voices and more interaction, which can be especially helpful in socialization cases or for mood improvement.

Abstract
This paper reviews an article on the reasons why consultants and clients clash, outlining out the issues of human resources and management.
From the Paper
"From the above discussion, one learns that management is not about delegating the job, expect a deadline to be met. It is much more complex. When entrusted with a leadership position like Royce, the task of dealing employees is even more difficult because his decision would mean changing the organizational hierarchy, jobs and management style. All these cannot be tackled with merging of policies neither can it be tackled by an external team like Statler?s consultants. Royce needed to adopt empowering leadership qualities. If not himself then the company should have engaged someone who could do the job before the problem escalated to a more damaging level."

From the Paper
"Max Factor was trying to cash in on the celebrity power of Hollywood stars by putting their pictures on product covers and using their faces in advertising. But it was not long before the mistake was realized as cross-cultural misunderstanding began affecting sales. One consultant quoted "a gentleman from India" who explained the problem aptly when he stated, "It would never do to glamourise ... a product by utilising a lady in a shimmering white saree with a western style of hair dress in any of the Southern cities [of India]. A cutting of her crowning glory and the donning of white cloth are the insignia of widowhood, a deeper calamity than which there can be none for the Indian woman." He further insisted, "When talking about advertising in foreign countries we should in general forget about American contents, presentation and media of advertising messages." [2] "

From the Paper
"There are numerous researchers and/or practitioners who both oppose and/or support the maintenance of notes and records on clients. While there is consensus that the practitioner must maintain some means of referring to areas of discussion engaged in with their clients, there exist differences as to how this is to be accomplished, to what extent the means is to be detailed, and to whom the applicable information is to be made available. At issue is that the client must feel that he or she is in a nonthreatening and trustworthy environment in which he or she can confide in the practitioner without the fear of betrayal. ... notes, "Every therapist must come to grips with the thorny issue of the confidentiality of information. Surely no genuine therapy can occur unless clients trust the privacy of their ... "

Sex Between Therapists and Clients, 2006.
This paper examines the issue of sex between therapists and their patients, as well as the potential problems that could arise from such relationships.

Abstract
The writer of this paper contends that the issue of sex between therapists and their patients is not a new one, and that the potential problems that could arise from such a relationship have been considered since the beginnings of the practice of therapy. From the beginning of the modern therapeutic relationship, therapists have themselves recognized the harm that could result from sexual involvement with patients. Such prohibitions within the field of medicine as a whole have ancient roots: The Hippocratic oath, which forbid doctors to have sex with their patients so as to preserve the sanctity of their relationship. This paper details various reports and studies on this subject. The American Psychological Association (APA) suspends or expels 12 of its members each year on average for various forms of patient exploitation, of which almost all are sexual. Studies have shown that a number of specific characteristics make certain attributes of patients more sexually attractive. These include: Physical attractiveness, positive mental or cognitive traits and sexuality. This paper explores the various courses of action to be taken if a client feels exploited in anyway by his/her therapist. This paper also details the potential problems, to the patient that could arise from such a relationship which include: The client having difficulty in trusting future therapists. They are not able to make changes without trusting the therapist. The client may sit huddled, avoid making eye contact, withhold important information or may even cancel appointments.
From the Paper
"It is critical for the therapist to seek help from a friend, supervisor or any one else who can help ensure that the therapist does not act in a manner that will interfere with the client's best interests. The APA had strict guidelines and ethical principles, along with a formal code of conduct, to help its members set boundaries for themselves in Document four. In Document four, it explains how a therapist should conduct himself or herself when they face with a possible sexual relationship with a client. It is obvious that the APA Stance of therapist and client relations is very strict. And, the study that was conducted by Pope Ken Velter in 1972 is very true for the modern society."

Home-Based Counseling for Inner City African American Clients, 2001.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of home-based counseling in improving the personal self-concept, overall social behavior and academic achievement of inner city at-risk African American adolescents, aged 12 to 21. It was hypothesized that if a counselor could be exposed to, and take into consideration, the at-risk adolescent?s home and community environment, a holistic outlook might be beneficial in recommending effective, successful intervention tactics with both short and long term benefits.
From the Paper
"The concept of home-based visits and counseling is not new: in recent decades, mental health professionals have been visiting their clients in their homes for a variety of reasons including the provision of services to those unlikely or unwilling to seek out and maintain regular contact in more traditional settings and to provide comprehensive, integrated treatment approaches for clients with multidimensional needs. Clinical observation and empirical research supports the potential effectiveness of home-based services. Appropriate intervention can help individual clients and families in crisis or at risk to be served, stabilized and supported in their own homes; research also supports the fact that clients, whether individuals or families, facing multiple problems of poverty, few social supports, severe psychosocial disturbance, social stigma and prejudice, and limited access to employment, housing and other resources often need ongoing support to sustain a successful environment from which a student may confidently base academic achievement .and crisis free living. (Newton, 30-31)."

Interpretations

Jung's Analytical Psychology
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The concept area of resistance and defense is used to explore how a client copes with stress, especially in scenarios in which conflict is found. Resistance and defense are sometimes defined as "coping strategies" as these are behaviors that the client manifests in order to create a desirable outcome, but this is a misleading term. Rather, resistance and defense are barricades enacted by the client to avoid facing issues or dealing with circumstances that cause some form of personal stress."

Attorney-Client Relationship, 1990.
This paper discusses the attorney-client relationship: Definitions, theories and techniques of interviewing clients, counseling, legal analysis, objectives, communications and objectivity.

From the Paper
"An attorney's obligation to a client includes his or her duty to understand, counsel and solve the client's problems--not just the client's legal problems or the case. Interviewing and counseling are more than two simple steps in the "lawyering process." Whether the client is involved in a civil or criminal matter, the interviewing (the task of gathering information) and counseling (the task of formulating solutions) processes are the cornerstone of the attorney-client relationship.
Attorneys need to establish effective relationships with clients, learn how clients view their problems, goals and expectations and assist them in understanding to make informed choices. If an attorney does not have a good relationship with the client, the relationship will not enable a successful conclusion to the matter."

Nonverbal Behavior and Therapy Client Reactions, 2007.
A discussion regarding the importance of understanding the nonverbal behavior of clients in therapy.

Abstract
This research paper discusses the significant problem of clients who are reluctant to share negative feelings about their therapy experiences in modern counseling. According to the paper, the researchers had the thought that if clients will not willingly share negative feelings about their therapy experiences, then maybe there exist other communication mediums through which these negative feelings are being transmitted.
From the Paper
"Interestingly, most of the nonverbal cues that the researchers were looking for turned out to be non-important, or rather non-significant. Though there were a total of nine nonverbal communication cues that the judges were asked to evaluate for, only three of them showed any measure of significance when contrasted with the self-reported data by the volunteer clients and therapists. The only significant associations that could be found were for horizontal head movements, vertical head movements, and speech hesitations. The other nonverbal cues had no significance attached to them, once researchers compared the findings of the judges with the data from both the clients and the therapists (Hill and Stephany, 1990). This is an important finding because it help the researchers determine whether or not any of the nonverbal cues could be used by therapists to evaluate responses and look for inconsistencies. Because other research has indicated that nonverbal cues can be laden with emotion, and even be important indicators of deception, understanding the use of nonverbal cues in response to certain questions by therapists can give those therapists an important point of reference in evaluating responses."
