Description

Document from the year 2012 in the subject Psychology – Consulting, Therapy, grade: 3.68 GPA, language: English, abstract: The present case report describes counselling an individual with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). The 24-year-old male client suffers from FASD resulting in cognitive impairments, a lack of social skills, signs of inappropriate sexual behavior and the need for anger management. The present paper will assess the effectiveness of different forms of therapy applied to aid the client to manage with his behavioral concerns which include cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, anger management, and child friendship therapy. To complement the client’s learning difficulties a client-centered approach will be used, along with facial recognition exercises, and an increased use of role-playing and visual aids. Numerous articles suggest further research needs to be completed to grasp a better understanding of adult FASD, since many articles focus on therapeutic interventions for adolescents and children.
