Explain in 2–3 sentences the extent to which you were surprised
or not surprised by the TEST results and explain the reasons
why you were surprised or not surprised.
I scored the highest on the cognitive section, which does not
surprise me. I am in full support of trauma focused cognitive
behavioral therapy. This is the structure that was used at my
field study location, and something I feel can be integrated into
every session. Individuals will experience multiple traumatic
events over their lifetime, some worse than others.
Understanding trauma and the impact it has on each person is
relevant to their care and has an impact on how they heal and
their ability to move forward (Kawam, Ph.D. & Martinez, Ph.D.,
n.d.).
After looking back at the array of theories and models that were
covered in this course, identify the top three theories or models
that most appealed to you
The top three theories I would pick are cognitive behavioral
theory, empowerment theory, and resilience theory. When
someone feels empowered, they have the strength and ability to
make changes and move forward. Mindset has a strong impact
on one’s life and how they perceive the outside world as well as
internally. Being empowered and having the strength and
ability to make changes can impact resiliency. Resilience theory
is another theory that I believe is important. Without the drive
and resilience, a person may never move to a better place

2. (Turner, 2011).
In this course, you were asked to select one case study to use
throughout the entire course. Describe this experience—for
example, the degree to which it was helpful to focus on one
case, what you learned, what could perhaps be done differently.
I chose the case study of Ella. I chose her because I have a
strong desire to work with children. Not that other age groups
are not important but, I feel children and adolescents need some
of the most support. They are not mature enough or experienced
enough to fend for themselves yet. If I had to do things
differently, I would have picked the same case study. I may
have thought more deeply when applying certain theories to her
case, however. Over the course of the quarter, I did learn quite
a bit about Ella, how to effectively apply different theories to
her case, and find some that may work better than others.

Explain in 2 to 3 sentence the extent to which you were
surprised or not surprised by the TEST results and explain the
reasons why you were surprised or not surprised.
I’m not surprised of my results. However, I am surprised on the
comparison from the Sample of 130. I do believe that human
behavior is caused by early childhood experiences that effect
adulthood. I also do believe intervention strategies can help
change behavior. I also believe our mind has a lot of power over
us. I believe those who choose and see through the positive lens
and have a positive attitude there will be those who will be able

3. to have more of a positive outcome that they want.
After looking back at the array of theories and models that were
covered in this course, identify the top three theories or models
that most appealed to you.
The top three models that most appealed me are Crisis Theory,
Empowerment Theory, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy.
Explain in 3 to 4 sentences how your personal values,
worldviews, life experiences, and/or your personality influenced
your selection of the top three theories or models.
My personal values views of the world, experiences, and
personality have influenced my selection of the top three
theories. When it comes to my personal experiences, I have
been part of relationships with spouses, friends, and family
which have gone through crisis situations, and I have gone
through personal crisis experiences. I experienced family and
individual therapy with my mother in high school due to an
intimate relationship I was in, and my mother could not help me
change my behavior. Therefore, we both sought out professional
help and I was able to change my thoughts and behaviors about
this individual. I have been able to help my friends within their
crisis by educating them on the negative and unhealthy
relationships in their lives. My personality influences my top
three selections because, I have always been the one to
empower those who feel as if they did not have a voice or felt
alone in this world. I make a lot of positive social connections
wherever I go.
In this course, you were asked to select one case study to use
throughout the entire course. Describe this experience—for
example, the degree to which it was helpful to focus on one
case, what you learned, what could perhaps be done differently.
The case study that I chose throughout this course was the case
of Ella Schutz. My experience with this case was challenging

4. because my father suffered from addiction all my childhood. I
chose this case because this is the population, I want to focus
on was addiction. I thought it was great to utilize different
theoretical approaches. In my opinion, this allowed me to see
multiple challenges Ella had and was able to utilize a guide to
help me and the client figure out how to work through these
challenges. As I worked collectively with this case, I pictured
as if it were reality because there are individuals who go
through what Ella has gone through. I’m sure during my
practicing I will encounter clients who have the same
circumstances and will resort to this course and recall these
theories. I’m glad I was able to choose a case study of my
interest and work on different theoretic outcomes on how to
help the client.
