Description
In Week 5, you selected a case study for your Final Project research investigation. In Part 1 of the Final Project Worksheet, you identified the client, mental health disorder, and counseling intervention that will be the focus of your research. This week, you will complete Part 2 of the Final Project Worksheet. The goal of this Assignment is to conduct a review of the professional counseling literature and identify current, peer-reviewed articles to support your Final Project.
To Prepare
Review the media program, Final Project Worksheet Part 2, and consider your next steps for your Part 2 Final Project assignment.
Review the Final Project Worksheet you used for your Part 1 Assignment, and use Part 2 of this worksheet to complete this Final Project assignment.
Incorporate any feedback you received on Part 1 from your Instructor during Week 5.
Search the Walden Library and choose three articles that relate to the intervention and mental health issue that you chose for your Final Project using the criteria below:
Three current (last 10 years) and peer-reviewed articles from professional counseling journals.
Include at least one quantitative and one qualitative research design.
Do NOT use meta-analysis type articles.
Verify that the research is not outside of the scope of practice for a professional counselor.
For each article you chose, be sure to provide:
A complete citation of the article
The methodology used in each article
Permalink for each article.
Feedback from Instructor: Please read over the feedback on the paper and rubric. The content missing is your connection between the case and the DSM 5 dx- you will need to indicate how your client has met the DSM 5 dx you are indicating. Please reach out to me with any questions that you may have. I have indicated that you will be using this as an opportunity to sharpen your skills for your practicum/ internship work.

Jim is a 14-year-old Caucasian male whose parents have requested services. Jim’s sister, Helen, died suddenly 5 months ago in a car accident. Since then, Jim’s behavior has changed and his parents are worried about him. His parents assumed that he was exhibiting these behaviors as a result of shock and grief. However, Jim’s behaviors have escalated and his mother discovered several empty beer bottles and empty compressed air cans hidden in his bedroom. Jim’s parents believe he is drinking alcohol and huffing, and this has prompted them to bring Jim to see a counselor.Jim claims that he has only tried drinking or huffing on a couple of occasions, and that he does not have a problem. Prior to Helen’s death, Jim was on the A-B Honor Roll at school. During the past couple of months, his grades have started slipping and his academic achievement is being impacted. During the last month, he has been hanging out with new “friends” who his dad describes as “goth”. He no longer spends time with his childhood friends and recently was caught skipping class and received in school suspension. Jim’s teachers are worried about his academic achievement and his social and emotional development. Jim’s teachers indicate that he has become more introverted in his behavior in recent weeks and no longer engages in classroom discussions and is somewhat uncooperative during group activities.Jim has always been cooperative at home so his parents are worried about changes in his attitude. He is not verbally disrespectful to his parents at this time, though he has become more secretive putting passwords on his phone and locking his bedroom door. When his parents ask him to unlock the door or remove the password, he does so, but only temporarily. Jim’s father is in recovery for alcoholism and is very fearful that Jim will develop an addiction to substances. Jim’s mother is adamant that this is just a “stage” and that Jim is just “being a teenager.” Jim’s parents do not talk about his sister’s death which has left Jim to find his own way of coping with his grief. Mom is an enabler who ignores Helen’s death and Dad goes to AA meetings to get support in maintaining his 7 years of sobriety, leaving all members of the family to hurt in isolation. School Counselors: Jim’s teachers have reached out to you for interventions to help Jim become successful in school.
