Students are to select a character from a film / novel / TV show where the character has suffered

loss and grief (either they have lost someone significant to them or a significant part / aspect of

themselves).

Students are to simulate the first two sessions of this client coming to therapy. You do not need to

describe these sessions word for word, but please reflect upon what would the therapist aim to

achieve in these two sessions, and how might a client and therapist work through the first few

sessions.

In your response you need to include the following:

a) Describe the presenting issues for the client.

b) Describe how you would engage and connect to this client.

c) Explain your thoughts and ideas around contracting and case planning; what are your goals

and objectives for the client and the therapy process?

d) What theoretical ideas might inform and support your therapeutic process?

e) What interventions would you consider using (please provide rationales)?

f) What obstacles can you anticipate / might arise?

g) How would you potentially work to overcome these?

h) What strategies for self-care might you employ?

Analysis of this client’s grief and loss experience forms part of your written analysis.

In your written response you need to demonstrate your understanding of the theories studied this

term and the realistic process clients go through in this context. More important than demonstration

of skill and technique is your demonstrated ability to reflect, analyse and critique and provide your

rationale
