Child and Adolescent Counselling Analytical Essay by Top Papers

The paper looks at case study #1 and relates that "Billy" is a little boy who is very afraid of teddy bears because he (at the age of three) fell down while playing with a teddy bear and cut his knee; he was in considerable distress and his mother responded to the situation by scolding the teddy bear. The paper describes how Billy's response - ostensibly to his mother's scolding - was to become very agitated whenever he was in the presence of the teddy bear in question; even when the bear was thrown out, Billy would often cry and become miserable if he came within close proximity of a teddy bear.
